The
National Council of Community of Practices is one organization that appealed to
me because it offers resources for educators and families. One of the main
things was it is nonprofit. I want to learn more about this so I will join this
organization. The second one was Supporting Families because this was an organization
who supported families within our region. I don’t know too many organizations
that is based about helping families and this is needed in our country. They
offer a LifeCourse framework that was developed to help individuals with
disabilities and families at any age or stage of life and to help them get what
they need. The third communities of practice was in Washington. It is titled “The
Alliance for Accessing Computing Careers.” This is a variety of Communities of Practice (CoPs)
that has a diverse a group of stakeholders.

Michigan. I would have to have teaching
