 Community of Practice Update
From the Central/Western NYS CSTAC:
 Our virtual bi-monthly interactive Community of Practice gatherings with education consultant Ali Hearn encourage self-reflection, explore the integration of community schools with an expanded MTSS framework, foster networking, and encourage action planning.
Over 60 participants from school districts and community organizations recently attended our November CoP. Here is some of what they had to say:
"I loved the balance between small group and large group discussions."
"I appreciated the emphasis on self-reflection, practical strategies, and action planning."
"We discovered new ways to organize what we're doing at each level of intervention."
"I explored the benefits of mapping community partners onto the district’s tiered intervention system for building capacity."
Be sure to register now for upcoming CoP gatherings with Ali Hearn:
- January 28: Exploring and Strengthening SEL Competencies
- March 18: Restorative Practices within an Expanded MTSS Framework: Enhancing Whole Child Outcomes
- May 13: The Evolving Role of SEL Leaders within an Expanded MTSS Framework
Feel free to explore our archived CoP event recordings, tools, and resources from this fall and the '20-'21 school year.
