A community of practice emerges when people with diverse experiences who share a passion, concerns and similar problems about collaboration commit to deepening their knowledge and expertise by learning together on an ongoing basis.

Experience the power of a learning community on collaborative leadership. By forming a learning community, we can define and build a community of practice together.

Though we use many traditional methods, such as seminars and discussion groups, , the overall construct for learning at the Retreat is based on building and solidifying a community of practice.

The Power of a Learning Community

The five-month online learning component is designed to help participants grow as a collaborative leader with the context of a deliberate community of practice. Participants will join the learning currently scheduled through Tamarack's Learning Centre and will be able to form strategic learning circles to advance their leadership.

Learners will:

  • Receive their own online space to blog their learning, link to their favourite Tamarack resources, post their own papers and material, and interact with other learners in an online community
  • Participate in tele-learning events after the face-to-face event
  • Have the opportunity to embark on a unique learning and teaching process to become a Tamarack Peer Coach
