Now Accepting Schools for 2023/2024
VINS School Programs enhance the STEM, science inquiry, and place-based education in schools across the Upper Valley and beyond. VINS Science Educators COLLABORATE with teachers to plan and execute lessons designed to excite and engage students while increasing teachers' pedagogical content knowledge.
VINS School Programs provide RESOURCES and ON-GOING SUPPORT for implementing hands-on science and place-based lessons.
To bring VINS School Programs to your school, complete our School Programs Interest Form and a VINS Staff Member will be in touch shortly to begin the scheduling process.
Continuing to Prioritize and Implement:
The VINS School Programs team continues to take the following measures when planning and delivering lessons:
- VINS School Programs will continue to closely follow the safety and health guidance provided by the Vermont Agency of Education and Department of Health for schools.
- VINS educators wear masks when teaching lessons indoors and recommend that students and teachers wear masks as well
- We are increasing our inventory of teaching supplies to allow for more individual versus group work with hands-on materials.
- We are planning lessons to be conducted outdoors at our partner schools.
- We are preparing contracts for the upcoming academic year (per the VT AOE and DoH), to continue our partnerships with schools.
These protocols are subject to change at any point to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and staff.
