Vermont’s updated Education Quality Standards (EQS) charge schools to ensure each student receives inclusive, culturally responsive educational opportunities. The Integrated Curriculum for Vermont Educators (ICVE) resource was created to aid educators in implementing these new standards. Be a part of the first cohort of teachers to do so with the ICVE Workshop Series!

What to Expect

Join educators across Vermont to learn, plan, and implement the new EQS into your schoolwide systems and classroom practices. The series will comprise four in-person sessions and four virtual sessions that will build upon each other. The Great Schools Partnership’s education experts will guide educators from across the state on how to seamlessly integrate the EQS using ICVE’s curated curriculum-building tools.

Whether you’re working on updating existing curriculum, creating a strong and inclusive classroom culture, or designing high-quality instructional practice, there is a place for you. Attend the series of sessions alone or with a team. The focus will be on creating engaging classrooms for each and every student.

Building a Team

The ideal team should include at least two classroom educators who have been in their role for less than four years. School leaders, curriculum leaders, and instructional coaches will also find these sessions relevant to support the implementation of the EQS through ICVE in their schools. Teams should understand that these are congruent sessions, starting virtually on November 4th, 2025, and culminating in person on April 14th, 2026.
