Agenda

What is a Community of Practice?

• Group of people who come together (not a formal training)

​

• Share a concern or passion for something they do

​

• Learn through regular interactions with each other

​

• Draw on & contribute based upon personal experiences

​

• Develop & discuss ideas

KDE Transition Readiness Updates

• Where to store materials since AAAF optional now? (e.g. TAR)
• Up to the district to determine where to store these materials. CRAAF still required.

​

• Any leniency on the number of hours required for CWEC certification (e.g. 40 hrs) due to pandemic?
• Approval has not been received to lower the number of hours but there is flexibility in how hours are obtained (e.g virtual or simulated)

​

• What about students who are not able to get hours due to Pandemic?
• Flexibility is being applied. WBL can be done in the classroom, on the

computer, etc.

​

• If some of the questions for the ESAR have to be assessed at the work site, how do we do that if students aren’t in the work site?
• If it is virtual, it will be assessed in the classroom or simulated workplace.
