Communities of Practice


Communities of Practice

Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly (Wenger, 2004). This model of Professional Learning offers a deeper dive within a Communities of Practice framework, blending in-person and virtual sessions. You will engage with a small group of peers across the Virginia Association of Independent Schools to deeply explore a topic of mutual professional interest.

Instructional Leadership with Sarah Dugan (Teach Learn Thrive)


AUDIENCE: Division Heads, Directors of Teaching and Learning, Deans of Faculty, Curriculum Specialists, Department Chairs, Instructional Coaches, and other roles that support teaching.


OVERVIEW: Academic leaders in independent schools have the privilege of being on-the-ground supporters of instruction, with the power to directly impact the learning culture in their schools. As such, they can benefit from professional development and collaboration opportunities tailored to their roles as instructional leaders. This yearlong cohort of leaders from the Virginia Association of Independent Schools will develop bonds of support as they learn together to sharpen their skills and develop the mindset for a “coach approach” to leadership. Complete details available HERE.


COST: $695/member.
