Learning Communities
Learning Communities are highly interactive, multi-session virtual events that bring together small groups of state and territory interagency team members and other key stakeholders knowledgeable on a given topic. During each session, subject matter experts provide tailored content followed by discussion. Homework is assigned to help participants advance their strategic and implementation planning goals. The model is designed in a way that fosters extensive state-to-state sharing, allowing participants to build beneficial relationships with their peers across the country.
