Pathway Communities of Practice

In April and May, practitioners from across the three Bay Area K-16 Collaboratives (East Bay, San Francisco/Peninsula, and San José) convened for virtual Communities of Practice. Executive Director Agustín Cervantes, with support from Backbone Organization Social Policy Research Associates, hosted sessions for the Education, Engineering/STEM, and Health/Biotechnology pathways. K-12, community college, CSU, and UC representatives from each subregion gathered to share challenges, learnings, and plans, building connections and breaking down siloes. Recognizing that Bay Area students are all of our students, these Communities of Practice will continue throughout grant implementation to build cohesion and coherence across systems.
