Personalized Learning and Flexible Pathways Showcase
The League of Innovative Schools and the AOE are hosting a Personalized Learning and Flexible Pathways Showcase on Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at Lake Morey Resort. During the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years, thirteen Vermont schools engaged in powerful work funded by the Agency of Education’s Flexible Pathways grants around Developing and Scaling Career Advisory; Integrating Expanded Learning Opportunities into Personalized Learning Plans; and Developing Work-Based Learning at the Secondary Level. Many of these schools will join us at Lake Morey to share their work, resources, and progress in these areas. Unlike in past years, this event will be open to non-LIS members in an effort to share information with as many people as possible, to generate deep discussion and new thinking, and to grow your networks and learning communities.
