Affinity Groups
What are affinity groups?
Members of the National Microschooling Center have access to join specialized affinity working groups. These affinity groups provide specialized training and communities of practice led by accomplished microschooling leaders in crucial mission areas.
This program is continually being developed. Take a look below at our current offerings, and check back often for updates. Don't see what you're looking for? Reach out today and let us know!
Contact Ashley Soifer with any questions.
