SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Restorative Supports & Interventions 
DESCRIPTION:Date:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:  \n\n\n\nVT-HEC Office\, Ludlow VT \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor(s):  \n\n\n\nRuth Durkee\, J.D. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type:  \n\n\n\nHybrid \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraduate Credits:  \n\n\n\n3 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nVT-HEC is working together with the Vermont Learning Collaborative (VTLC) to bring you this offering. VTLC is an educational service agency serving the southeast region of Vermont.*Staff from VTLC member districts and SUs are eligible for a discounted rate of $560: Mountain Views\, Windsor Southeast\, Springfield\, Two Rivers\, Windham Northeast\, Windham Southeast\, Windham Central\, and Windham Southwest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must attend both days:  \n\n\n\n\nMay 7\, 2026\n\n\n\nMay 8\, 2026\n\n\n\n\nParticipants are eligible for an overnight discount at Okemo Mountain Resort.  Call 855-945-0553  and reference the group code SOKVLC26 to make a reservation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescripton \n\n\n\nWith all of the challenges today’s students face\, previously useful skills and tools to address complex student behavior are often insufficient. In this experiential series\, participants will apply the concepts of a trauma-informed approach to every day restorative practices to prevent\, mitigate\, and respond to these behaviors. Implementing these approaches supports the creation of restorative communities of care\, dignity\, and accountability. \n\n\n\nOn day one\, participants will deepen their understanding of trauma\, brain-science\, and restorative practices to build routines that strengthen student capacity\, skill\, and motivation\, as well as increase a sense of efficacy and connectedness. On day two\, participants will explore in-the moment strategies for responding restoratively to three types of behavior we see frequently in schools: lid-flipping\, stress-relieving\, and need-meeting. In addition\, school teams will learn a framework for problem-solving ongoing and complex behaviors. The second session builds significantly on the content of the first. \n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to more effectively:  \n\n\n\n\nCreate the conditions for student engagement that are both proactive and responsive.\n\n\n\nBring increased compassion and understanding to their own and others’ unexpected\, unsafe\, and inappropriate behaviors.\n\n\n\nRespond to student behaviors restoratively in-the-moment. \n\n\n\nCollaboratively problem-solve ongoing behavior concerns with school teams. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about our presenter:\n\n\n\nCamille Koosmann\, Starling Collaborative

SUMMARY:The AI Strategy Residency: Leading Systemic Implementation in Vermont Schools
DESCRIPTION:Date:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor(s):  \n\n\n\nRuth Durkee\, J.D. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type:  \n\n\n\nHybrid \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraduate Credits:  \n\n\n\n3 \n\n\n\n\n\nTopics: \n\n\nGeneral Education\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must attend all dates:  \n\n\n\n\nJuly 29\, 2026 (in-person/virtual)\n\n\n\nNovember 6\, 2026 (virtual)\n\n\n\nMarch 19\, 2026 (virtual)\n\n\n\n\nSelect one registration option:  \n\n\n\nRegister (July 29 in person)  |  Register (full series virtual) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop series will immerse participants in the foundational knowledge and practical tools needed to lead AI implementation in their schools and districts. Each day will build toward a coherent implementation vision — moving from staff training design and productivity strategies\, through roadmap and pyramid planning\, to data privacy and policy review. Every session will culminate in concrete next steps\, including structured homework: drafting an AI training deck for staff\, mapping their district’s implementation pyramid and roadmap\, auditing vendor data privacy practices\, and beginning to build a finalized AI “Gem” — a reusable\, context-specific resource for their school community. \n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n\nDraft a foundational AI staff training deck aligned to the Teachers First philosophy and Tier 4 teacher productivity strategies\n\n\n\nDevelop a preliminary K-12 AI implementation roadmap using the implementation pyramid framework and aligned to state-level guidance\n\n\n\nComplete an initial data privacy & policy audit\, identifying gaps between current board policy and emerging AI use guidelines\n\n\n\nBegin building a district-specific AI Gem guided by a 48-hour action plan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nMichael Berry

Participants will build foundational understanding of AI and explore practical classroom applications using AI tools. Participants will analyze curriculum for AI vulnerability and redesign assignments to prioritize authentic\, process-oriented\, higher order learning. Through collaborative examination of real-world examples\, participants will also develop strategies to maintain academic integrity without sacrificing content. Finally\, the workshop will engage educators in critical conversations about the ethical dimensions of AI\, including bias\, copyright\, and environmental and human impacts\, fostering a more informed and responsible approach to its use in schools. \n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn strategies to adapt current assignments and create new ones that are AI resistant Distinguish between traditional and generative systems/models\n\n\n\nPractice integrating tools like Gemini into the student learning experience\n\n\n\nLearn about emerging technologies and AI tool integration\n\n\n\nDiscuss ethical considerations such as bias\, environmental impacts\, and copyright issues\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nAllison Cram
