Our Diverse Communities Community of Practice is transitioning to the Every Child Belongs (ECB) Community of Practice, bringing the same valuable diverse perspectives and commitment to equitable practices into a broader focus on inclusion and belonging.
This Community of Practice provides a space for CCR&R staff to connect, share emergent needs, exchange resources, and support providers in creating inclusive early learning environments. Together, we will continue to help providers succeed in Oregon's Early Learning System by meeting children, families, and providers where they are. Everyone is welcome!
Participation is open to anyone interested in receiving support and resources to aid them in serving the diverse communities present in their region.
This group meets the Third Tuesday of the month, 1:00-2:00pm PST.
Members of the Diverse Community of Practice agree to:
Start and end meetings on time.
Follow a meeting structure and general agenda that will be shared with the members before the meeting begins.
Address issues of access and the challenges of racism and discrimination in our various communities and regions.
Assume positive intent.
Believe the experiences shared by others.
Follow up on previous topics addressed and be accountable.
End the meeting with an action item.
