As a school of inquiry, innovation and impact, The Mount Vernon School continues to reimagine what school is and does. For over a decade, we have been on a transformational journey and can empathize with the opportunities and challenges you are navigating. Join us on campus and experience Mount Vernon with our expert faculty and staff.
On this full-day of hands-on professional learning, you will join members of the Mount Vernon team for deeper learning and connect with expert practitioners through two distinct learning experiences:
Experience how The Mount Vernon School designs relevant, transformational curricular and learning competencies from Preschool through Upper School, explored through an inquiry-based approach and assessed on levels of proficiency.
Each participant will travel with an MV expert on a learning walk, receive instruction and guidance about respective instructional strategies, and debrief with faculty members during lunch. Topics will include Inquiry-based Learning; Learner Agency; Design Thinking; Inter/Multi/Transdisciplinary Learning; Innovative and Flexible Spaces; Personalized and Differentiated Learning; Competency-based Assessment; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and more.
How might we cultivate an inclusive, regenerative school culture? At The Mount Vernon School, we believe that relationships are foundational for learning. MV faculty will share how we nurture talent development, lead with a focus on innovation, and sustain a resilient and adaptable School culture. Topics will include systems for collaborative planning, professional development, implementation of innovative learning models, faculty competencies, and professional goals, evaluations, and reflection.
