SoACE Knowledge Groups (KGs) offer members the opportunity to learn about and contribute to different facets that guide our profession. By joining a Knowledge Group, you have access to a specialized forum that addresses current challenges, trends, and questions you face in your work. Learn from the experiences and best practices of your colleagues, find content specific resources and tools, and network with other professionals in the field through SoACE Knowledge Groups. Each KG has it’s very own Slack Channel to continue discussion and share resources.
