MSDE ACCREDITATION
FOR CENTER DIRECTORS & STAFF ONLY
Community of Practice
What is a Community of Practice? A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common interest in a topic who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. This community of practice for MSDE Accreditation is intended for center-based programs who have begun the accreditation process or programs who are interested in pursuing accreditation. Participants will explore the process of accreditation, familiarize themselves with the standards, consider strategies and methods for meeting criteria, and provide support to each other through group discussion, sharing and learning. Participants will determine action items to guide their accreditation process. Join us for this select opportunity with our very own trainer and developer, Rena Dubensky! |
