This summit aims to advance the diversification of Vermont’s educator workforce by gathering students, educators, higher education leaders, state-level leaders, and community and professional organizations to explore strategies for building a more inclusive, supportive, and representative education system. Through collaborative learning, partnership building, and action planning, we’ll focus on cultivating environments where educators of the Global Majority thrive and student voices are uplifted in shaping Vermont’s educational future. Vermont has a substantial number of programs, initiatives, partnerships, and organizations underway to support increased educator diversification. We believe that coming together and fostering synergy across efforts will significantly impact student learning in Vermont.

This event is an opportunity to move beyond conversation and into tangible action, where participants can leave with concrete strategies for implementing immediate and long-lasting change.
