Students present at the Rowland Conference at UVM

Seven educators, 3 students and 1 school board member attended the Rowland Conference at UVM this week. Students Josie Cross, Edwin Lynds, and Eleanor Williams spoke eloquently about their experience in the CRAFT program, shared microgreens from their CSA with their 50 person audience, and encouraged other schools to imagine how they might create a focused pathway of courses and experiences using their local resources and interests. We also thoroughly enjoyed listening to the keynote speaker Ross Gay, and engaging with other educators on topics ranging from rethinking the five paragraph essay to reimagining advisory programming to infusing more joy into school.
