Top ten lists
A top ten list of what we learned can be a great starting point for reflecting and discussing shifts in practice. For example, the facilitator can compile evidence from meetings, webinars and participants’ discussions to create a list of one-line statements that participants then discuss in small groups.

More/less
Another reflection strategy is for participants to consider what positive changes in practice would look like through the lens of “more/less”. This can be used at the beginning of a community to help participants articulate what improved practice would look like.

At the wrap-up for this community, participants returned to this brainstormed list, reflected on practices they had observed throughout the year, and generated a new list of observations that described the growth in practice they were observing. This list could be repurposed as sample criteria for best practices and be shared with interested educators beyond the immediate community of practice.

Identifying resulting changes
The final wrap-up can be an opportunity for participants to reflect on and articulate shifts in practice they are observing, related to the focus of the community of practice.
