Facilitated by: Kale Cabrera (she/her) This opportunity invites early years’ professionals working directly with school-age children (3 years 8 months-12 years) to come together and reflect on their practice. Topics may include curriculum and programming ideas, communication, the environment, relationships, and so much more. Conversations emerging from this group will be ongoing. The success of a Community of Practice relies on shared reflection and the open exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge between members. Please come prepared to engage in meaningful conversation. Share any topic/conversation ideas you have in the designated areas during registration. Kaylee “Kale” Cabrera (she/her) is a passionate educator who has been working with children and non-profit organizations since 2016.
