A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who “share a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly” (Eitenne Wenger). The idea behind a CoP is that through the process of sharing experiences and knowledge with others, we enable dialogue among members and begin to explore new possibilities and new ways of doing something.
Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World
5 sessions (12.5 hours):
In-person dates: May 7, June 4, Sept. 17, Oct. 8
Online dates: July 16
Cost: $40.00
This Community of Practice (CoP) offers a wonderful opportunity for educators to connect, reflect, and grow together. In this space, participants will engage with Dr. Jody Carrington’s Feeling Seen book, exploring the powerful impact of feeling acknowledged, heard, and valued. Dr. Jody emphasizes how being “seen” profoundly affects our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
Through shared experiences and thoughtful discussions, we will explore what it means to truly feel recognized and understood. In this CoP, we’ll create a supportive environment to share stories, navigate challenges, and learn from one another. We’ll also look into Dr. Jody’s practical strategies for staying connected in an increasingly disconnected world.
Our ultimate goal is to build a nurturing network where we can all feel seen, recognize others, and cultivate deeper, more meaningful connections with each other.
