As part of a national project focused on researching and identifying exemplary models of virtual professional learning communities, the U.S. Department of Education and the American Institutes for Research have recognized the A+ Best Practices Center for its “notable” work with online communities of practice.
ABPC is recognized at the Department-sponsored Connected Educators website for its development of two online learning communities — the 21st Learners project supported by Microsoft Partners in Learning from 2005-08, and our current Instructional Partners Learning Network, developed in partnership with the Alabama State Department of Education.
