Meeting Archives
Every month of the school year, the DC CoP hosts a meeting where a new skill or new knowledge desired by the community members is shared. During these meetings, there is time for problem-solving with peers, trying out new skills, and sharing of resources and ideas that have worked in DC-based public and public charter schools. Meetings cover different topics selected by the community and have free social work, psychology, and LPC CEUs available. Each meeting also has a Padlet, which is a virtual message board with a wealth of information and resources shared by and with the community.
