NABITA & ATIXA’s K-12 Community of Practice
Purpose
The NABITA and ATIXA’s K-12 Community of Practice provides K-12 Title IX and behavioral intervention and risk assessment practitioners with knowledge and tools that support gender equity and school safety. We aim to achieve our goals by adopting four critical functions of communities of practice: educate, support, cultivate, and encourage.
Goals
- Educate by collecting and sharing information related to questions and issues of practice.
- Sponsor at least one conference program or virtual event annually (e.g., Time with IX and Talking BITs).
- Provide knowledge resources to members that intersect with K-12 Title IX and behavior and risk assessment.
- Suggest research and publication ideas.
- Support by organizing interactions and collaboration among members.
- Organize affinity groups (e.g., meeting space, roundtables, and social gatherings during the annual conference).
- Cultivate by assisting individuals in beginning and sustaining their professional growth over time.
- Identify tools for practitioners to aid educational community members in their efforts to enhance gender equity and school safety through policy, practice, and programs, both curricular and co-curricular.
- Encourage by promoting the work of members through discussion and sharing.
- Promote ATIXA and NABITA products, events, and services on social media and with colleagues.
- Develop content in the knowledge area with at least one published deliverable per year.
- Encourage members to use their new knowledge for positive, sustainable change in their work (e.g., solicit program proposals from knowledge areas for the annual conference; solicit virtual event ideas from knowledge areas for ATIXA and NABITA-sponsored programs.)
Membership Criteria
- Maintain an active ATIXA membership
- Regularly attend the Community of Practice’s monthly meetings
