Description
We are planning a COP that supports School Climate with a focus on Community School strategies to increase student engagement. We are planning to invite various district specialists, community partners, and caregivers to collaborate around best practices. We will be sharing ideas around how to best support students. Tentatively we are looking to have sessions that focus on the Behavior Intervention, Foster/Unstably Housed, IEP/SPED, Counseling Services, Attendance, Working with SEL Data, and a Community Partners Panel. We are also planning to also offer zoom options for some or all sessions.
There will be an additional 1.5 hours of asynchronous time for this event.

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.
