Role-Alike Communities of Practice
for North Country Educators
These convenings are intended to foster collaborative communities where educators connect with peers in similar roles to share ideas, solve challenges, and grow professionally. These groups provide a supportive space to exchange resources, stay current on best practices, and build meaningful relationships across districts.
