Community of Practice
AI Explorers: A Community of Practice for Educators
Santa Cruz County Office of Education
Description
If you are an educational leader working with students in 4-12th grade and are interested in bringing AI into your teaching—especially for writing instruction—we invite you to join our AI Explorers Community of Practice (CoP). This paid initiative offers hands-on opportunities to explore tools like Clara, an AI writing assistant from Write the World that helps students brainstorm ideas, organize their thoughts, and revise their work while keeping their authentic voice. You’ll collaborate with peers, try out AI for activities like guided peer feedback, audience analysis, and research organization, and share your insights with schools across the county. No prior AI experience is required.

Description
Join us for a monthly lunch and learn exploring the book "From Foster Care to College" by Royel M. Johnson. This book study will bring together regional education partners (TK–16) and community organizations that holistically support students in care. We will meet once a month to engage in shared learning, discussion, and reflection focused on improving educational outcomes and collaborative practices for this population. The monthly meetings will be facilitated by the Cabrillo College Guardian Scholars/NextUp lead and a Guardian Scholar/NextUp student. As an added bonus, all participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book and an invitation to our April culminating event, where author Royel M. Johnson will visit the professional learning community and deliver a book talk!
