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.

Our network is dedicated to driving meaningful change in educational practices through a collaborative improvement journey. In the first year, participants will learn from Matt McCue, Improvement Facilitator for the System Improvement Leads, in partnership with COE leaders through four powerful learning sessions designed to strengthen capacity, share strategies, and build systems that support lasting improvement. District teams—comprising 5–7 members—are encouraged to join. We recommend assembling a diverse team that includes both leadership and teachers from special education, as well as representation from general education leadership and teachers, along with counselors, coaches, and other team members that you believe would be high impact on your team.

This community of practice is focused on those that would like to learn and grow in the area of professional leadership. If you are interested in moving in to administrative roles in the future, serving as a teacher leader, or leading district wide initiatives this is a chance to learn and grow together. Those that participate in this CoP will have the opportunity to access EvoPrep which is a test prep system for the CPACE exam which leads to a letter of eligibility in administration. They will also be eligible to have fees covered for the CPACE exam in the year in which they are attending. There will be an additional 1.5 hours of asynchronous time for this event.

This Community of Practice brings together kindergarten through fifth grade educators with a shared goal: to build lifelong writing skills in all students. Together, we will explore strategies that promote student autonomy, confidence, and growth in writing—no matter each child’s starting point. Our work will focus on creating strong, sustainable classroom writing systems that support diverse learners and empower young writers to see themselves as capable, independent communicators. Participants are encouraged to bring both ideas and questions to fuel collaborative inquiry, deepen our collective understanding, and learn from one another. Whether you're refining your current approach or building something new, this CoP will provide a space to reflect, explore, and grow alongside passionate colleagues.
