What is a community of practice and how can it help you grow as a leader?

U-Bridge supported over 300 new leaders with developing campus professional learning plans for teachers this past school year. We spent time looking at multiple data points including notes from focus groups to determine what teachers needed to be successful in the classroom. Over 300 hundred leaders reached the same conclusion. Communities of practice work! Teachers need well-planned, job-embedded professional opportunities to learn new pedagogical skills, practice them, and get feedback until they become an unconscious part of the work that they do daily to support their students.

Are you reflecting on how to best support teachers or leaders on your campus? Have you tried to implement learning communities on your campus with little success? Maybe you have heard of communities of practice, but you still have questions as to whether this is the right professional learning approach for your school.
