New Place-Based Strand at MGI |
 Place-Based Education is a vibrant approach to education that takes students into communities to learn, to do and to grow as human beings. Students learn subject matter in deep and lasting ways, understand the places they live in and participate in community renewal that makes a difference to themselves and others. By “engaging the local,” Place-Based Education presents a wide span of purpose and possibility. Review the brochure to learn more about this exciting new strand. |

About the Collaborative
We would like to introduce ourselves and our work to you. We are part of a unique collaboration of colleges providing ongoing professional development for aspiring and practicing teachers of 10-15 year olds. Since 1991, the Middle Grades Collaborative has offered the Institute, aimed at providing this support and, in addition, helping educators earn their Middle Grades Teaching Endorsement. Although the Collaborative is based in Vermont, both Vermonters and teachers well beyond our state’s borders have found the institute to be a meaningful and important professional development experience.
