Reserve your PD money in the Fall! We’ll be offering vouchers to all VITA-Learn conferences starting in late August!
Vermont Innovation Summit 2016
Negotiations are underway to assemble all the leaders from every group, foundation, State government and VT Legislature for a (much needed) leadership summit! Getting all the organization communicating and working together… it’s time!
Connecting with New England ISTE!
We’re in talks to open up opportunities to share innovation more readily with our neighbors! Stay tuned!
So there’s a few quick updates!
We’re taking more care than ever to build learning opportunities into new formats and help people innovate! We’re just getting started.
Please spread us spread the word! Membership to VITA-Learn is free! Grab some familiar faces and help the new folks get acclimated to PD resources and innovation in Vermont!
Thank you so much for all the incredible work you do for kids and communities in Vermont!
