Resilient Schools’ National Community of Practice Spotlights

The National Sustaining Resilience Community of Practice Initiative Spotlights are an offshoot of the CoP and its members.  All Spotlights are free and virtual.  National CoP participants are all leaders and changemakers in the field of education (including higher ed) from across the country.  Many of their presentations are targeted at systems level change, making them ideal for administrators and other school leaders. However, there are some great takeaways for all types of educational practitioners looking to implement resilience-building practices with a variety of student and adult populations.

Spotlights typically run for 30 minutes, with a couple spanning an hour. Join using the link provided.  We don’t admit any unidentified devices or phones.
