Thank you for registering to attend Vermont Agency of Education’s Inclusive Practices Professional Learning in Castleton on October 29, 2018.
 
We will meet from 8:30 to 4:00 at Castleton University in the Campus Center building beginning in the 1787 Room .
 
A few days before you arrive: Please think of one student in your community who you or your school team would like to more fully include in membership and participation with grade level peers. Download and complete the membership and participation indicators rubric ( click here ) with that student in mind. Bring your completed rubric to use in a breakout session.
 
Before the event begins:
If you drive to Castleton University, please park in the Jeffords or Stafford lots; no registration is required. See campus map ( click here ) for these locations. 
 
Plan to pick up a name tag and sign in for the day’s activities between 8:00AM-8:30AM. We suggest that you pick up your own coffee, tea, or juice beforehand.
 
Morning session 8:30 to 11:50
Expect to hear about systems and strategies from presenters, participate in engaging activities with others at your table, and watch video interviews with Vermont school leaders discussing their inclusive practices. Plan on a 15 minute break around 10:30.
 
Lunch 11:50 to 1:00
We will provide a list of nearby places where you can share lunch with colleagues and new acquaintances or recharge on your own.
 
Afternoon sessions 1:00 to 4:00
Everyone will rotate in smaller groups among three 45-minute breakout sessions. You will participate in all three, and then reconvene as a large group at 3:30 for final thoughts about inclusive practices in Vermont schools.
 
If you are unable to attend, please let us know right away so that your place can be made available to others. Contact Kari Woods at swift@ku.edu.
