The Network Learning Community

The wonderful Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." The Network Learning Community was created on this philosophy. Join us in empowering educators, parents and caregivers, and community members through collaboration, resource sharing, and engagement with the latest literacy research. It is only together that we can make a difference. 

What is "The Network"?

The Network is so much more than just a monthly meeting—it’s a growing community of parents, educators, and community members passionate about making real change together.

 

It’s a place where everyone - from grandmas to volunteer firefighters to your favorite local barista - can come together, support one another with ideas and resources, and unpack the latest updates in literacy education.

 

Here, every voice matters, and every connection brings us one step closer to creating a brighter, more literacy-rich future for all Vermonters.

 

We’re not just talking about change; we’re making it happen.

Mission & Goals

At The Network, our mission is simple: to bring together educators, parents, caregivers, and literacy advocates from all walks of life to transform literacy education. We’re dedicated to creating a warm, collaborative space where members can learn from each other, share resources, and engage with experts on best practices. 

​

Our goal is to empower our members with strategies and resources that make a real difference in our communities. We’re committed to promoting ongoing learning and meaningful collaboration. And...most importantly, we strive to give our members a voice in shaping the future of literacy education.

The Network Events

Whether virtual or in-person, every event is an opportunity to learn from community members and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow members who are just as passionate about literacy as you are.​

​

Each virtual session features 2-3 engaging speakers from diverse backgrounds—educators, parents, researchers, and community members—who bring their unique perspectives to the discussion. Together, they share the latest research, valuable resources, and real-world experiences to guide meaningful conversations that inspire members to apply new insights in their own contexts.

​

Quarterly in-person events provide valuable opportunities for networking and deeper learning that go beyond our virtual sessions. Members can bring a guest to share in the experience. These gatherings feature engaging conversations, insightful presentations, and the chance to connect with a wide array of stakeholders dedicated to advancing literacy in Vermont.
