A few years back, we contributed a book chapter on non-traditional options for disseminating behavior analysis with Matt Cicoria where we became slightly enamored with the idea of communities of practice as a means for knowledge sharing. Well, thanks to our amazing listeners on Patreon, that topic is back and with a full episode. We look at how to create a community of practice, whether the idea actually leads to changes in professional behavior, and what barriers might keep your new group of professional problem solvers down. Protip: Being in Canada appears to be a huge help.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
