Presenters: Justin Pinard

Thursday, 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM, Pinnacle C

With an ever-changing educational landscape, schools need to stay vigilant in offering the most relevant and inclusive opportunities to meet the needs of their student bodies. Thankfully, Vermont offers several creative opportunities or flexible pathways for students to engage in as they learn about the world around them. Join a discussion, from the lens of a school counselor, about what flexible pathways exist – Dual Enrollment, Early College, Career Technical Centers, Work-Based Learning, and Virtual/Blended Options. The conversation will also touch on how these pathways relate to Personalized Learning Plans (PLP’s) and how they can bolster student choice, voice, learning styles, postsecondary readiness, and overall success as a scholar.
