In each episode of Elevating Student Well-Being, we’ll discuss challenges and innovations in K-12 education, and ways we can all support the physical, mental, and academic well-being of students inside and outside of the school day.
In the latest episode ESWB, host Brian LeTendre welcomes Elevo SVP of Marketing Karin Wu for a conversation about communities of practice in expanded learning. They discuss the transformative power of communities of practice, and why they are so important for the expanded learning space right now. She also shares insights from the first Expanded Learning Community of Practice event Elevo held in November, and gives a preview of the topics on the agenda for our March CoP event.
