Community of Practice

Leadership, Peer Support and Building Capacity for the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership

Some of the strategies the group practices include:

• Compiling an Idea Bank of different data collection strategies (using what is currently available)
• Organizing existing tools and resources in a way to assist mentors in knowing which tools to use for each question on the report
• Develop tools for reporting areas that may not have an existing tool or resource

 The group typically convenes in August and wraps up in June with the intention of ensuring real progress in data collection and reporting. 

Routine tasks for the COP each year

• An initial virtual meeting in August
• Additional virtual meetings “as needed” to develop presentations highlighting Best Practices for region meetings
• Ongoing support (coaching) for each region
• Participation in presentations during the annual Kickoff conference
• Review of year end reports in April
