Community+of+Practice

=Community of Practice=

A community of practice is a group of people who share a common concern for something they do and a commitment to learn how to do it better through regular conversations, interaction and collaboration.

Individually, we all have demonstrated an interest and commitment to **Peer Mentoring to Support Students with Disabilities**. We also want to share our expertise and learnings with each other and other teachers throughout Alberta.
