Week 25 - APC - Reflective Practice What is a 'Community of Practice'? Defining my Community of Practice What is my practice?  We are 3 primary school Principals in Manurewa who are wanting to improve our practice and pedagogy to improve the educational outcomes  for our students. According to Wenger, belonging to a 'communities of practice' (CoP), comes naturally to humans. CoP's help us to learn socially, and understand what we need to do to be competent in our profession. By interacting with our colleagues in a CoP, helps us to define the competence required to do our jobs effectively (Wenger, 2000).  What is my Professional Context?   We created the PIMP ICT Google+ community of practice in order to collaborate across schools.
