DISCOVER

Since 2009, the Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education has supported technology integration in middle schools as a means of increasing student engagement and decreasing drop-out rates here in Vermont.

We support partner schools with tech-rich, on-site professional development and provide funding for technology innovations.

What we offer partner schools

At the heart of our work is embedded and sustained professional development. We customize it to the unique goals, strengths and challenges of our partner schools. Our professional development coordinators design and lead intensive summer in-service weeks and customized strands at the Middle Grades Institute to launch initiatives at partner schools. We facilitate faculty meetings, in-service days and consult during team common planning time throughout the school year. This helps teachers develop technology-rich skills, curriculum, and pedagogy in collaboration with their colleagues.
