Starting on December 16th, we're launching a new monthly series at CPsquare named "The Practice Field." It will focus on the various practices that thrive around CPsquare (or in the field generally) but which are not the subject of the kind of research presentations we have in the highly successful Research Forum that Etienne leads.
The Practice Field format will be reminiscent of the Research Forum. It will include an online presentation that shares a tool, tells a story, and then explores related questions. Then we have a teleconference, usually toward the beginning of the month. The teleconference is recorded and anybody who missed it can listen to it. That discussion is followed by some online discussion for a week or more after that. Each Practice Field session has an interlocutor who is a "friend of practice" and volunteers to helps make sure that the richness of practice makes it into our conversations.
We're starting with a study by Marco Bettoni of CPsquare itself. In January we will focus on a community of school heads in The Netherlands.
