Personalized Learning- kinda messy but really worth it!
goo.gl/rJWb8c

I often feel overstretched with the task of supporting students' individual needs and interests, but every single day I am truly inspired by their persistence and creativity. Personalizing learning requires additional time and flexibility to set up and manage, but the rewards of fully engaged students and innovative projects are a true mark of success. In this workshop, I will provide tools and tips for how to ‘make it work’ as well as specific ideas for project-based learning.

Students Are Historians
How can students become more engaged in the study of history? Encourage them to be real historians. Challenge them to follow their passions, conduct archival research, and present their websites and documentaries to other historians. Students will share their experiences with Vermont History Day, a structured program that predates personalized learning plans, but provides students the venue to practice transferrable skills while learning a wide variety of history content.
