August 2026 Community of Practice

What is a Community of Practice Meeting

Peer-powered learning. Practical solutions.: These topic-focused, interactive sessions connect educators and leaders for real talk, real tools, and real progress—because we’re better together.

Designing Schools as Living Systems

Creating sustainable schools requires more than individual programs, it requires seeing the school as a connected system where leadership, culture, curriculum, facilities, and community all influence one another.

In this Community of Practice, participants will explore the principles of systems thinking and discover how successful schools use a whole-school approach to create meaningful and lasting change. Through inspiring examples, practical insights, and collaborative discussion, educators will examine how interconnected systems can strengthen student outcomes, organizational effectiveness, and environmental stewardship.

Whether you’re just beginning your sustainability journey or looking to strengthen existing initiatives, this session will provide a shared foundation for thinking differently about school improvement and sustainability.
