An APPD Learning Community is a group of APPD members who share learning interests and goals and who communicate regularly to collaborate on learning and projects.
These communities may serve as a platform for cohort-based, interdisciplinary approaches to deeper learning and sharing, as well as work on common projects to develop new innovations and define effective methods to meet their shared goals. Learning Communities will facilitate valuable contributions to the ongoing work of APPD including mentoring programs, survey review, etc., as well as new projects.
APPD currently has 14 Learning Communities. Browse and learn more about each one below.
