The AOE will be holding a series of State Plan information sessions for educators throughout July.  These sessions are meant to provide educators with information about the State Plan and to give them a chance to reflect on what the Plan will mean for their practice, along with how they might share session information with their colleagues.  Individuals and SU/SD “teams” are welcome  All sessions will cover the same content; topics will include how the State Plan connects with multiple existing state policies and initiatives, academic performance measures, long-term and interim academic goals, N size and its implications for Vermont, and anticipated continuous improvement supports. Register online for the session of your choice. The registration window will close on June 30, 2017.
