    Summary

    Over the course of the FY16-17 academic year, the Personalized Learning Team visited a number of schools around the state – from Bennington to Canaan – to have conversations about the successes and challenges of implementing personalized learning and flexible pathways at their schools. Many themes emerged from those conversations and informed the development of updated resources and a professional learning series that can be found at the Vermont Professional Learning Network (http://pln.education.vermont.gov/).


    Personalized Learning team awards Flexible Pathways grants to Supervisory Unions to support their work in the following areas:

    • Developing and Scaling Career Advisory;
    • Integrated Expanded learning Opportunities into Personalized Learning Plans and Flexible Pathways to Graduation; and
    • Developing Work-Based Learning at the Secondary Level.

    The Flexible Pathways Initiative, created by Act 77 of 2013, encourages and supports the creativity of school districts as they develop and expand high-quality educational experiences that are an integral part of secondary education in the evolving 21st-century classroom. Flexible pathways also promote opportunities for Vermont students to achieve postsecondary readiness through high-quality educational experiences that acknowledge individual goals, learning styles, and abilities; and increase the rates of secondary school completion and postsecondary continuation in Vermont. Flexible Pathways provides for:

    • Expansion of the existing statewide Dual Enrollment Program
    • Expansion of the Early College Programs
    • Increased access to work-based learning
    • Increased virtual/blended learning opportunities
    • Increased access to Career and Technical Education
    • Implementation of Personalized Learning Plans
     

    History of Funding

    In the spring 2017 the personalized learning team awarded 14 Flexible Pathways grants to Supervisory Unions. In the spring 2018 the Agency of Education awarded Flexible Pathways Expansion Grants to four additional supervisory unions and school districts throughout Vermont.
