Community of Practice (CoP)

The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) and the Regional Educational Service Centers (RESC) invite school psychologists to participate in statewide Communities of Practice (CoP).The CoPs will be facilitated by a RESC representative to provide attendees with an excellent, free opportunity:

1) to develop a collaborative community of practitioners
2) to build connections and share resources
3) to identify professional needs in order to inform the CSDE’s Bureau of Special Education and RESCs of future learning activities.
CoPs are designed to engage practitioners in meaningful discussions and activities that will broaden our capacity to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.

The School Psychology Community of Practice will meet again on Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 10:00 am.

Please join us for the next meeting on Thursday December 17 at 10:00 am.  We will continue the conversation about applying a neuropsychological lens to our evaluations.  Eric Elias will lead the conversation again, and respond to questions that have been submitted, as well as extend the conversation.

Here is a link to the shared google drive where you will find all of the meeting summaries and other resources for the group.  The presentation Eric shared at our last meeting is there in the folder labeled 12/3 meeting information: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fRTXViZMsT0FSAGUnlSLQvMirDvZvIsP?usp=sharing

As of the time I am writing this email (Monday afternoon, December 14), the weather forecast continues to predict a significant snow storm for Wednesday into Thursday.  As we all know, that could mean we get 2 feet of snow, 2 inches of snow, or nothing at all.  However, I get the sense that most schools will be doing remote learning on inclement weather days.  So I will plan on holding the session, despite the weather, unless anything unusual happens or if there are widespread power outages.  Let's hope for the best and plan to see each other Thursday morning.

Let me know if you have any questions
