Vermont Standards-Based Learning Symposium coming this fall!

Vermont Standards-Based Learning Symposium 
coming this fall!  
Carol Ann Tomlinson will be there, and so should you!

FRIDAY November 20, 2015

Who? Any teachers, administrators, or other educators interested in Standards-Based Learning
When? 8:00 to 3:30

We (The Vermont Standards-Based Learning Collective) are thrilled to announce that we will be co-sponsoring another fall SBL Symposium with JumpRope and with St. Michaels College Department of Education.  Last year's symposium was a great success and we listened to feedback to create an even better experience this year.  There will be a mix of theory and practice, with session options ranging from brain research to math learning targets!  We are still in the planning stages but want to let you know to mark your calendar and save the date.  The cost will be approximately $75 per person.  We will provide more details soon.

When registration opens, we will send Tweets and emails to advertise -- if you received our emails last year you're all set but if you would like to be added, please let one of us know!  We think we'll open registration in mid to late September.

Oh...and did we mention that our keynote speakers will be Bill Rich and Carol Ann Tomlinson?! They are collaborating to bring us a fantastic two hour introduction sure to educate and inspire. Because of our keynote, we expect to sell out quickly, so keep your eyes and ears open.

The symposium is focused on middle and high school educators, but there will certainly be some relevant sessions for all in education.  We encourage you to bring a team consisting of both teachers and administrators.
