Community of Practice Resources
Judith Kamber of NECC has forwarded the following articles as resources for our cluster and other educators interested in communities of practice, community knowledge, and self-directed learning. While many examples are drawn from the corporate world, the ideas and insights are quite relevant to our work.
These attachments are articles concerning the Community of
Practice-idea in Education. They were provided to me by my exchange
partner from the Netherlands. His teams used these articles in their
virtual CoP (with Etienne Wenger as facilitator). His favorite is Knowing
is a Human Act. I thought they might be of interest to the group.
