Session 1 at Fremont Adult and Continuing Education

What are “Communities of Practice”?
Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and strive to learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.1 To provide opportunities for California adult educators to interact regularly and to engage in sustained professional development, CALPRO is offering professional development in a Community of Practice format that includes online interaction along with two face-to-face sessions.

What is a pilot?
This Community of Practice is complete and ready for participants, but before offering it statewide, we are field-testing the content, design, and the online activities as a pilot. Throughout the pilot, participants will be asked for feedback. This feedback will be used to improve the delivery of future trainings.

What are the benefits of participating in this CoP Pilot?

• More in-depth engagement with training content;
• Opportunity for “early adoption” of best practices;
• Opportunity to interact with fellow educators and the trained facilitator synchronously and asynchronously to share practical experiences and problem solve;
• Collegial support for thinking about program and curriculum changes;
• Contribution to the development of an enriched statewide professional development experience for adult educators in California.
