Coaches & Education Managers/Specialists | Communities of Practice Winter Series
Tuesday December 8, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm PST
Coaches & Education Managers/Specialists

Join this community to develop coaching skills, collaborate on educational strategies and management practices, and support teachers to improve classroom practices, learning environments, and child outcomes.

The Coaches & Education Managers/Specialists Community of Practice is a collaborative space dedicated to supporting and developing coaching skills and management practices among Head Start staff. This community provides a forum for discussing coaching techniques, educational strategies, and management approaches,
addressing common challenges, sharing best practices, and staying informed about relevant theories and research. By fostering a supportive environment for professional development, this community can help coaches and education managers/specialists enhance their effectiveness in supporting teachers, improving classroom practices and learning environments, and ultimately, promoting positive outcomes for children.

Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better (Wenger, 2006). These communities are intended to provide safe and supportive spaces for participants to share resources and ideas, explore and question their understandings, solve challenges, and form common commitments for action and improvement.
