GED 635 - Middle Grades Summer Institute (Organizational Strand)

The Middle Grades Collaborative offers an annual intensive institute for Vermont middle-level educators. The major goal of the institute is to foster young adolescent development where every student becomes: an intellectually reflective person, a person dedicated to a lifetime of meaningful work, a good citizen, a caring and ethical individual, and a healthy person. Participants select either a curriculum, adolescent development, an organization, or a literacy focus, which are applicable to Vermont’s Middle Grade endorsement. Middle school teams and individuals are encouraged to participate in non endorsement courses such as Technology and Middle School is Not a Building. Each course selection is listed below:
GED 635A – Middle Grades Curriculum
GED 635B – Nature and Needs of Young Adolescents
GED 635C – Middle Grades Organization
GED 635D – Embedded Literacy in Middle Grades
GED 635E – Middle School is Not a Building
