Communities of Practice
Community in Action
It sounds cliché, but it’s true. There’s strength in numbers. When educators come together on shared experiences and challenges, we develop ideas we couldn’t have alone—ideas that lead to better educational practice and improve student learning.
Not just another community
Online communities pop up all the time. But what makes them endure? It’s about finding like-minded people who are curious to learn from each other’s different perspectives and approaches. It’s about problem-solving.
In the Cognia Communities of Practice, our network members connect with fellow educators locally and around the world.
Connect the way you want
Do you need new ideas on an enduring problem? Do you have an experience or insight to share? Do you want to explore different perspectives on a challenge you’re facing? The chances are good that a community member can help or could use your point of view. Explore the three community types:
