Happy Spring!

VAMLE is pleased to report that the 3rd Annual Conference, Beyond Bullying II, on March 10 was a huge success! 38 school teams participated in workshops focusing on strategies for creating a culture of respect and inclusion, and all teams created an Action Plan for change. The keynote performance by Lida Winfield, In Search of Air: Growing Up Dyslexic, was inspiring, and very well received by an audience of 245. The promotion of student voice is a goal of this conference, we were thrilled to have many student presenters facilitating and leading workshops. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including The Middle Grades Collaborative, Special Olympics Vermont, A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE Institute, and Ben and Jerry's Foundation. We are looking forward to 2016 and will be posting the date very soon.

An article in KidsVt.com highlighted Lida Winfield's performance at the conference.

Participants take only one strand per institute, with the first four applicable to earning the Vermont middle grades endorsement. Accommodations are available for the week at VTC, a top-of-the-world place to meet teachers from all over the state and unwind from the school year while learning in an environment exemplifying best practices for middle level programs. Information and the brochure are available at http://www.middlegradesinstitute.org/

 

Nominations are open for the 2015 VT Teacher of the Year. Recognize an outstanding teacher in your school! The deadline for submitting a nomination is April 10. For more information, contact Rebecca Plude at rebecca.plude@state.vt.us
