Communities of practice have become an accepted part of organizational development. One should pay attention to domain, membership, norms and rules, structure and process, flow of energy, results, resources, and values.
In the USA, many schools are building their reform efforts on a foundation of professional learning communities that engage participants in honest examination and refinement of their daily practice.
This session will discuss the characteristics of effective teacher and principal learning communities. We will examine a variety of models of gathering data and insights that can inform changes in individual and school practices, transforming the teaching profession and accelerating student achievement.

Consumers are engaging with social media as never before and changing the way we communicate and share. However using “social” at the workplace is lettered with discussion boards nobody joins or a community withers after the initial enthusiasm. Will it work ?

Creating Learning Environments with Communities of PracticeOlivier Serrat
Communities of practice have become an accepted part of organizational development. One should pay attention to domain, membership, norms and rules, structure and process, flow of energy, results, resources, and values.
Using the Strengthening the Dairy Value Chain project in Bangladesh, CARE makes the business case for why empowering women farmers is not only essential for improving social and economic outcomes but an effective way to strengthen supply chains.
Esta presentacion se trata del tema de micro finanza inclusiva rural y su rol en una estrategia de graduación de los programas públicos de transferencias monetarias condicionales.
Las transferencias monetarias condicionales son una características de las políticas públicas de muchos de los países de América Latina y, mientras han tenidos impactos importantes en la lucha a la pobreza y en la distribución de renda, encontrar una estrategia de salida es uno de los principales desafíos. Esta también es la situación en Perú con el programa de transferencias “Juntos”.
CARE Perú a partir del programa de inclusión financiera PUMRI (financiado por Barclays) que trabaja con las mujeres beneficiarias de Juntos , ha testado un modelo de estrategia de graduación, y que fue utilizado para hacer incidencia con el Gobierno para que adopte estrategias de graduación de la pobreza a nivel nacional.
The economic development unit held a webinar January 16th on how various country offices and individuals in CARE are developing and applying private sector engagement strategies. We heard from the PSE Director at CARE Bangladesh, the PSE Coordinator at CARE Vietnam, the PSE advisor for CARE UK, and a PSE Specialist in the Asia Regional Management Unit on their experiences, successes and the challenges of developing and implementing PSE Strategies at the country and regional levels. Some key questions the presentation addressed were: How can CARE strategically engage the private sector? Should CARE target domestic or international companies? How does CARE balance the tension between raising funds and achieving impact?
Resumen: CARE Bolivia ha desarrollado un modelo de intervención y un manual para capacitar los Gobiernos Municipales en tema de Desarrollo Económico e implementar la ley de descentralización administrativa y las competencias municipales de en el DS 28421 de una manera que sea favorable al desarrollo rural inclusivo. CARE Bolivia ha desarrollado en modelo en la región amazónica – en Pando – lo ha adaptado a la región endina en Chuquisaca, sistematizado, testado, y ahora fue formalmente avalado por el Gobierno central y está en fase piloto en dos municipios en Chuquisaca antes de ser llevado a escala.
Los temas de desarrollo ecoómico y gobernabilidad tienen importantes sinergias que CARE Bolivia está apalancandoy el modelo de CARE Bolivia está siendo mejorado para fortalecer la componente de igualdad de género.
This presentation highlights the joint effort that CARE and Practical Action have undertaken in Peru to reach the extremely poor with extension services. CARE's private sector model for technical assistance provision and Practical Action's Kamayoq model have both been highly successful and offer a strategy for reaching the poorest smallholder farmers with inputs and education to better agricultural and livestock value chains.
This presentation focuses on the role of Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) and the importance of private sector engagement in CARE Ethiopia's GRAD program. MSPs are an innovative tool used by CARe to build relationships among all the stakeholders and develop and improve the program's interventions.
Una presentacion sobre el proyecto SDVC en Bangladesh (Cadena de Valor de los Lácteos Sustentable). Este proyecto constituye un ejemplo muy valuable de aplicación de los principios programáticos de articulación a mercados con un enfoque de cadenas de valor, y además de los impresionantes resultados en términos de números de productores alcanzados, mejoras en los ingresos y empoderamiento de las mujeres, tiene algunas metodologías y modelos de actuación innovadores y bien formalizados que pueden ser replicados o adaptados a otros contextos, incluyendo en América Latina. Por ejemplo: la red de tiendas e insumos agrícolas organizada en micro franquías, los asocios con el sector privado dentro de la cadena, las herramientas de organización y auto-monitoreo de las asociaciones de productoras/es, los sistemas de M&E, entre otros.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
