Communities of Practice

CalECSE held 63 Communities of Practice across all 11 regions of California during the 2025/2026 School Year.  This was a great opportunity for special education early childhood educators and leaders to meet and interact.  We spent time making connections, building relationships and sharing resources and best practices.  100% of survey respondents who participated in a Community of Practice shared that they learned something that they will use or share with a colleague. 

The CalECSE Community of Practice calendar for the 2026/2027 School Year is posted below.  If you would like to join our mailing list and receive notice, send an email to info@calecse.org.
