What Our Members Saying About Us
PeerSphere Communities have been a fantastic addition to professional learning for schools and educators.At a time when schools are aiming to be more inclusive in professional learning and find opportunities for staff who are not traditionally well provided for...We look forward to the expansion of the Communities to include more opportunities for staff in supporting and non- teaching roles.
It is a great opportunity for us to connect with other librarians and hear their experiences - communications with students, promotion of reading interests, and how to combine classroom reading with libraries. Indeed, I was inspired by some of their amazing ideas and implemented some measures to the library.
Being part of PeerSphere is a win for our school.
The communities give us the chance to learn from others and showcase our own practices...We plan to remain connected next year and beyond.

Getting the most of your 2024/25 Peer Sphere Membership
Research shows that mindset and intention are the biggest factors in making the most of a peer learning experience or any professional learning experience. Dr. Shannon Doak, a PeerSphere host and Director of Technology at Nanjing International School, conducted doctoral research about virtual peer learning, and says that engagement is the thing that matters most. Basically, you reap what you sow, or harvest what you plant (to draw on a few common idioms).
