As online professional development opportunities have proliferated, we have been considering how to meaningfully connect with the NROC member community (beyond our monthly webinar series). We are craving an informal-yet-structured regular meetup where we can engage in reflection and share our experiences and expertise.

Enter NROC Lunch and Learns, book club-style discussions related to a particular topic, hosted in an intimate Zoom room. Prior to a scheduled Lunch and Learn, we will share a video and / or article that will orient participants to the meetup theme. Interested parties are invited—but not required—to consider these resources before we convene.

This spring, member survey respondents surfaced that SEL (social-emotional learning) tools and tactics are a top priority. To answer this need, we dug into the Center for Urban Education’s recent talk, How to Express Care with a Focus on Racial Equity.
