This WORKshop will kickoff with an inspiring panel of students and educators steeped in all things flexible pathways. These panelists will help us consider: What is a flexible pathway, and why bother? What are some of the lessons learned from the field when it comes to designing, implementing, and accrediting flexible pathways? How can students and / or a school begin designing their own flexible pathways today? We’ll then pivot to WORKshop mode, when participants will use their new learning to begin designing / refining their approach to designing, implementing, and/or accrediting flexible pathways.

  • VT-HEC WORKshops are designed using the principles of educational neuroscience and effective professional development, and aim to support educators in their goal to benefit all students. WORKshops emphasize opportunities to put into practice the newly learned knowledge and skills in the participants’ own work-settings.
