5 In-person Sessions: Wednesdays, February 18, April 1 & 29, May 27, June 17

Join us for a meaningful professional learning journey focused on inclusion, belonging, and responsive practice. Grounded in Shelley Moore’s One Without the Other and the BC Inclusive Toolkit, this Community of Practice (CoP) invites educators to build relationships, reflect deeply, learn collaboratively, and strengthen their capacity to create environments where every child, family, and educator can thrive.

This CoP offers the educators time to connect with one another through reflection and collaborative dialogue, as well as opportunities to apply learning to daily practice.

Cost of $20.00 includes:

• 10 hours of professional development certificate of attendance (Attendance is required at all sessions)
• One Without the Other book by Shelley Moore
• Journal
• Light meal at each session
