Virginia Department of Education's Training and Technical Assistance Center (T/TAC)

Join VT and RU T/TACs in September as we kick off two communities of practice (CoPs) that will take a year long deep dive into making math more accessible and meaningful for all our students. Following the kickoff events on September 9th and 10th, each CoP will meet virtually in the afternoon on the second Tuesday of the month (October-February).

Participants will receive a FREE copy of Mastering Math Manipulatives: Hands-On and Virtual Activities for Building and Connecting Mathematical Ideas for grades K-3 or grades 4-8 depending on the CoP particpants signed up for. Math manipulatives and other educational materials will be awarded at monthly meetings!

• Register now for the Mastering Math Manipulatives 6th-8th grade community of practice.  Limited to 30 participants.

We are excited to invite you to be part of a new professional network designed specifically for Assistant Principals and new Principals (1-2 yrs without assistants) in Regions 6 and 7.

As part of the Virginia Department of Education’s Training and Technical Assistance Center (T/TAC) at Virginia Tech, our mission is to support school divisions and their educators in improving outcomes for students with disabilities. We recognize that as an Assistant Principal or new Principal, you play a critical role in shaping school culture, instructional leadership, and inclusive practices.

This new network will begin by sharing targeted professional learning opportunities aligned to your unique leadership needs through Constant Contact. To help us do this in the most effective way possible, please take 2 minutes to fill out this quick interest survey.

Over time, we aim to grow this into a dynamic community of practice—where you can access support, share ideas, and collaborate with peers facing similar challenges and opportunities. We look forward to connecting with you and providing a space to grow together as a community of school leaders.
