2 What is a Community of Practice? We are in this together 2
3 A Community of Practice Group of people who share a concern, a set of problems or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their understanding and knowledge of this area by interacting on an ongoing basis. (Etienne Wenger et.al., 2002) 3
4 A Community of Practice is about Outcomes All partners are required to demonstrate outcomes of youth served. What s s in it for Me for ALL partners in the community. The community comes together around the shared vision of youth with disabilities becoming productive, self-sufficient citizens. 4
5 The Spirit of Community: We Are In This Together! A way of working Involving those who do shared work Involving those that share issues Always asking who isn t t here? A way of learning To create new knowledge grounded in doing the work With those who can advocate for and make change 5
6 Encouraging Investments that Result in Outcomes Learning how to move from knowing to doing. doing. Translating learning to policy. Encouraging investments that will move the work. Recognizing the value of all contributions to a more complete and effective approach. Creating new relationships among policymakers, researchers and implementers. 6

24 How does the Community of Practice Work within California? We are in this together 24
25 California Transition in CA could become a shared responsibility across all agencies that are parties to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This could be done through development of an Interagency/interdepartmental MOU. 25
26 California The project partners include all stakeholders (policymakers, administrators, service providers, families, youth and the business community). 26
27 California The members of the emerging leadership team for the California Community of Practice are: Department of Education Department of Rehabilitation State Independent Living Council Department of Developmental Services Department of Mental Health Employment Development Department Department of Social Services Special Education Stakeholders Advisory Committee and others 27
28 California California Transition Summit - June 23, Assistance and participation from the IDEA Partnership, NASDSE, and the Interagency Transition Community of Practice. 28
29 California Current partner initiatives: Improving Transition Outcomes Project (ITOP) grant. Youth Leadership Forum. SSA Bridges to Youth Self Sufficiency Grant. 29
30 How does the Community of Practice Work within New Hampshire? We are in this together 30
31 How did our CoP get started in NH? Transition has been a top priority for our state s VR Director as well as previous SPED Director. Conversations began between Special Ed and NASDSE during the 2003 National Transition Summit. A NH team was developed (VR, DOE, SPED, MH, Parent and IHE) and attended our first state to state CoP meeting in PA in July
32 Stages of the NH CoP Introduction to the CoP initiative at the 2003 Transition Summit. Formulation of state team and participation in the PA CoP meeting in July Participation in National DMD, sponsoring 2 youth. Participating in/presenting at various national & state conferences. Follow up meetings to identify purpose, goals and activities to be conducted at the state level. 32
33 NH Guiding Principles Support and maintain the secondary education and transition initiatives throughout the state. Identify effective and evidence-based practices at all levels. Leverage our resources. Build local community capacity. Establish cross partnership connections. Interagency partnerships: DOE including Special Ed and VR, and DHHS (Bureau of Children s Mental Health). 33
34 What are the benefits from participating in the Community of Practice (CoP) in NH? Provide unique opportunities for a small state like NH i.e., National Disability Mentoring Day. We expand our learning loop to include state to state initiatives and state to other agency initiatives. The monthly CoP conference calls give us the chance to share our progress with other states, as well as learn from one another so that we might replicate practices and activities that are successful in other states. 34
35 NH Barriers for our CoP Ability for all members to participate consistently. Transitions occurring within participating member agencies. Identifying buy in for new and existing participants. What s s the expectation from both sides ~ whole group v. each member? No one agency has been given the charge to develop a statewide plan. There is no coordination of transition initiatives in the state. Each agency or bureau has its own plan. 35
36 NH Barriers (cont d) There is no vehicle to help us tap into the expertise area of each agency. There is no central clearinghouse transition initiatives around the state. Each agency does not speak the same language. Entities knowledge is limited to their own area of expertise. Promotion of collaboration among the 33 transition initiatives in the state. 36
37 Successes of the NH CoP so far! Fostering new and existing relationships between agencies ~ building new bridges, strengthening others. Establishing regular monthly meetings. Youth empowerment. 37
38 What has been happening in NH as a result of our participation in the CoP & where are we headed? New Hampshire and Pennsylvania Collaboration. A representative from our Parent Information Center has joined the team. We are in the process of developing materials as a means to introduce our initiative and to help to garner buy in for new members. Connecting with NH DMD participate in/support their activities. Discussing innovative ways in which to connect our youth members high school/college education to their participation in the CoP. 38

Youth will be empowered to recognize their talents, strengths and voice and will have equal access to resources that will promote full participation in the communities of their choice. 45
