The Vermont School Leadership Project, co-directed by Val Gardner and Peter Burrows, is a unique program that offers intensive professional development for superintendents, principals, curriculum and special education directors, as well as other education professionals who have proven leadership abilities. The Class of 2020 embarked on their leadership journey in mid-July and will continue to meet at Lake Morey Resort over the next sixteen months for a total of seven overnight sessions with eighteen seminar days.
Through theoretical discussions, experiential activities and personal reflection, associates will consider and apply concepts related to leadership, education systems, organizational change and community. New this year, associates will partake in a Capstone experience to apply and integrate their learnings to an area of choosing within their individual school systems via a real-time, iterative process. The Class of 2020 is the 14th class since the Vermont School Leadership Project was founded in 1995. Upon completion of the program in November 2020, members of the Class of 2020 will join more than 250 graduates who are making a difference in Vermont’s schools.
