Collective Courage through Cross-District Learning
Description:
A cross-district learning community builds collective courage among participants by creating a strong network for vulnerable conversation toward continuous improvement. The Essex County Learning Community focused on common barriers to supporting students with learning differences. Through convenings, teacher groups, sharing best practice and dilemmas, and providing resources and national experts, 6 districts built and leveraged trusting relationships to problem solve and develop district plans.
