Professional Learning Communities
Members of this committee will work together to raise awareness of the vital work we do for New England school systems. Help us to educate districts about the value we bring along with communication position roles, responsibilities, and salary ranges. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of our profession. Join us!
Co-Chairs: Patti Renaud, Glastonbury Public Schools (CT); Jen Cowart, Cranston Public Schools (RI)
Help us discuss, plan, and decide the subject matter for our professional development sessions—those held virtually along with the in-person annual spring conference. We will brainstorm before zeroing in on topics and potential presenters, which may include current NESPRA members or outside experts.
Chairperson: Julia Mitchell, Pinkerton Academy (NH)
Let's channel our ideas on how to continuously grow membership and networking connections of New England school communications professionals.
Chairperson: Ryan Langer, Consolidated School District of New Britain (CT)
The NESPRA Urban Schools Group is open to any NESPRA member, regardless of the type of district or organization you work for, but all topics will be unique to, or discussed through the lens of, urban public school districts. The format is identical to our “Chapter Chats:” an unstructured conversation pertaining to a specific topic at each meeting. This will be a great way to discuss important issues, share resources and solutions, and network with one another.
Chairperson: Dan O'Brien, Worcester Public Schools (MA)
