Peer-to-Peer Network
The goal of the Peer-to-Peer Network is share innovative and/or practical solutions for program issues (not including ID&R) among MEPs through a network of migrant education practitioners with expertise and/or experience in the MEP. Services include:
- Referring state directors to readily available information or persons that may be of assistance, or;
- Brokering the services of a Peer Consultant (i.e., arranging and supporting access to a Peer Consultant, whether through an onsite or technology enhanced consultation). These individuals will be available to your state for assistance at no cost. Simply place a request for a particular individual through your state director.
The MERC will accept requests for a peer-to-peer consultation only from State MEP Directors. The requests can be submitted either through a call to the toll-free Migrant Education Resource Center line or through the members-only State Directors’ section of the website.
