Vermont students are now helping to design their curriculum through flexible pathways and personalized learning plans.

Passed in 2013, Act 77 dictated that Vermont's schools incorporate flexible pathways as a tool for students to learn. Vermont Edition looks at how this self-directed learning plan is being implemented.
We'll hear from Katy Farber, professional development coordinator of UVM’s Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education. She's the co-author of a new book on the subject, Personalized Learning in the Middle Grades.

And we'll talk to Jocelyn Foran, a 7th grade science teacher at Mt. Abraham Middle School in Bristol.

Broadcast live on Thursday, July 18, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
