CoP resources

We are supporting networks to implement a Communities of Practice (CoP) approach by providing resources and information for planning, implementation, building skills and knowledge, and performance assessment.

​​​​Online guides for building a CoP approach

Bastow is developing online resources to equip system leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to build a CoP approach across schools, networks and regions.

​These resources will be available throughout 2019.
