What will you be doing this summer for professional development?
Join middle school educators from around Vermont for a week of intensive PD specific to the challenges and triumphs of educating young adolescents. The 2016 Middle Grades Institute will run Monday, June 27 through 5pm Friday, July 1 at Castleton University in Castleton Vermont. Accommodations are provided in the cost of registration, but residency is not mandatory.
It’s like summer camp, but for adults and you get support with teaching middle grades students.
