Middle Grades Collaborative Professional Development
Middle Grades Collaborative is part of a unique collaboration of colleges providing ongoing professional development for aspiring and practicing teachers of 10-15 year olds. Since 1991, the Middle Grades Collaborative has offered the Institute, aimed at providing this support and, in addition, helping educators earn their Middle Grades Teaching Endorsement. Although Middle Grades Collaborative is based in Vermont, both Vermonters and teachers well beyond our state's borders have found the institute to be a meaningful and important professional development experience. Middle Grades Collaborative directly serves 250 educators through professional development and it also sponsors an international online academic journal, The Middle Grades Review, which publishes three issues each year. In 2024 there were over 25,000 downloads of articles from The Middle Grades Review.
