ELO-P Fireside Chat with Elevo, Michael Funk & Palmdale School District Watch Video

Built on common identity, reflection, and collective intelligence, Communities of Practice (CoP) are systems formed by people learning together in a shared space. This first Expanded Learning Community of Practice hosted by Elevo brought together districts and thought leaders from across the state to discuss challenges and share best practices on topics such as ELO-P advocacy and funding, UDL-based curriculum, and community engagement.

This landing page is a hub of resources and information that is intended to keep the conversation going as we all move forward together. This page and the resources on it will continue to evolve with each community of practice. Stay tuned for more information on our first meeting of 2025!
