Middle Grades Institute

MGI 2027: Building Bright Futures for Young Adolescents 

Dates: June 21-June 25, 2027 

The theme of this summer's institute is Building Bright Futures for Young Adolescents.
The Institute will prepare educators, teams, and schools to examine middle grades practice through a culturally, socially, and developmentally appropriate framework to design learning communities that motivate all students by understanding their unique nature, needs, and interests.

Join us for the MGI 2027 Institute at Saint Michael's College in Colchester, VT on June 21-25, 2027. 

As always, participants may attend in teams or individually, and will have access to interactive workshops, thought-provoking presentations, and facilitated planning time. 

You can enroll for the Middle Grades Institute for 40 hours of re-licensure credit ($1600).  If you are looking for graduate credit, participants can earn it by attending MGI and then participating in the Middle Grades Conversations Webinar on the third Thursday 3:15-4:30 pm of each month during fall 2027. Three graduate credits are an additional $400. If you choose the credit option, here are the five course offerings:
