Communities of Practice

Join a Community of Practice!


The K-16 Collaborative is joining forces with the San Diego and Imperial County Offices of Education and the Regional Golden State Pathways Program to offer multiple Communities of Practice (CoP) for educators across the Southern Border Region. CoPs are designed to support and engage faculty at all levels: high school, community college, and university. By working together to bridge the disconnects in our educational pipelines, we can meet the needs of all students in San Diego and Imperial counties.


Join a community of practice and stay in the loop on all regional opportunities to engage with others in your area of expertise. For more information, visit the K-16 Website.
