Now I don’t spend my whole prep period looking for one specific item.” • “The Learning Communities have enabled me to communicate quickly with other teachers in the same grade level.”

Future Learning Community Considerations… • Resources for parents • Resources for students (i.e. Science Club & Writing Club, Advanced Placement LC’s) • Partnerships with other school divisions’ province wide and potentially worldwide. • LC’s for priests and parishes in the city and beyond • Communication hubs for students to connect with other students around the world • Any other ideas???
