2Revolutions Communities of Practice
A Focused Approach to Creating Learner-Centered and Equitable Classrooms and Systems
A 2Revolutions Community of Practice is a focused learning experience for educators, by educators. Our work with schools and districts empowers educators to examine and transform the structures, culture, and practices to create classrooms and systems that are more learner-centered and equitable.
2Revolutions is committed to walking alongside you as you do what you love, for good.
Our 4-to-6-month-long Communities of Practice start with an in-person launch event. The CoP then transitions to several asynchronous customized learning sequences, and ends with an in-person celebration of learning.
LAUNCH EVENT
CoP experience kicks off with a 3-hour in person launch event.
CELEBRATION OF LEARNING
Participants step into their students’ shoes by sharing their learning with an authentic audience of colleagues, leadership, and other relevant members of the community.
LEARNING SEQUENCE
Participants engage in a scaffolded sequence of online learning modules and hands-on, synchronous teach-ins for 3-5 months. There are options for on-site coaching during this period.
We have facilitated Communities of Practice focusing on areas such as:
Student-Driven Assessment
Leadership Development (for administrative leadership teams; for instructional coaches; for teacher leaders)
Performance Assessment
Body of Evidence
Personalized Learning
Extended Learning Opportunities
Integrating SEL into Core Content
Trauma-informed Instruction
Project-Based Learning
Anti-Bias, Anti-Racist Teaching
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
For more examples of these and other topics, see our Learning Catalog.
This work builds the technical capacity of educators while creating a meaningful network of teachers and educational leaders working together in a coordinated way to best serve learners. It also provides an opportunity to build a replicable model for high-quality, competency-based professional learning that is aligned with efforts to innovate while being responsive to real life challenges. All of our work aligns with the 2Revolutions’ Global Skill Areas of an educator: leadership, accountability systems, learning design, human-centered ecosystems, and equity-driven learning.
