Please join us for our Community of Practice for special educators working primarily with students who have significant intellectual disabilities in various settings.

A Community of Practice is a collaborative group that comes together to share knowledge, exchange ideas and learn from one another's experiences to improve student outcomes. Through discussion, problem-solving and resource sharing, participants build connections and develop practical strategies they can apply in their work. We encourage all participants to actively engage by bringing either a problem of practice for group feedback and support or a celebration to share successful strategies, accomplishments and lessons learned.

Join us as we explore topics and priorities for the year ahead. Participants will share ideas, learn about assistive technology, discover new RIMAC Library materials and receive updates. We look forward to a collaborative and engaging discussion.
