What are Communities of Practice?
Communities of Practice (CoPs) will provide a space for a group of grantees to come together to:
- Learn about what other grantees are doing around a specific topic;
- Engage and collaborate with others across the country;
- Brainstorm solutions to common challenges;
- Highlight best practices and create shared, new innovative and best practices; and
- Co-create tools and resources for the broader Healthy Start community. Information about future CoPs is to come.
CoPs are being developed and are coming soon! Sign up for the TASC’s communications to receive announcements about upcoming CoPs.
