Teacher Community of Practice
This Community of Practice is designed to encourage Teachers to engage in a professional community network to broaden knowledge and improve practice.
As Etienne Wenger (2014) states “A community of practice is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly”.
