Communities of Practice

Our team supports and facilitates two Communities of Practice - both of which were created to support those in the early childhood workforce.

PSP QS CoP: On the first Monday of each month, Lorena Rodriguez (ELSI Professional Learning Core) and DELC facilitate a community gathering of Preschool Promise Quality Specialists. The ELSI Professional Learning Core supports this gathering by providing resources and facilitating shared learning and discussions. Click here for more information.

BIPOC CoP: On the second Wednesday of each month, Dominic Paz (ELSI Inclusion Implementation) and Daphnee Nicolas (ELSI Professional Learning Core) facilitate a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community gathering to support educators, coaches, and parenting educators. This Community of Practice focuses on community care, storytelling, self-care, and wellbeing practices. For more information, please email Daphnee at daphnee.nicolas@oregonstate.edu
