Professional Development Opportunities

Children at the Heart of Learning

Community of Practice 

A community of practice is when a group of people (this includes you) come together to explore a common interest, in this case all things related to educating young children (ECS to Grade 3). 
What will our community of practice do? Well, the possibilities are endless and come from the direction of the community. It could involve discussing best practices; offering inspiration to tricky challenges; diving into a book study; gathering at local coffee shops; or cruising on a summer road trip. At each gathering participants will determine the direction of future events.
