CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
[Note: Statutes link to the general Vermont Statutes and users will need to search on the specific number provided]
Health Education
Education Statute Title 16, Part 2, Chapter 23, Subchapter 1, Section 906 requires "Physical education and comprehensive health education including the effects of tobacco, alcoholic drinks, and drugs on the human system and on society;" however grades, levels, or amount of instruction time are not specified. Education Statute Title 16, Part 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 7, Section 131 (1987) defines a comprehensive health education program as "a systematic and extensive elementary and secondary educational program designed to provide a variety of learning experiences based upon knowledge of the human organism as it functions within its environment;" but again this statute does not specify grades, levels, or amounts of instruction. Health education is not a coursework requirement for high school graduation.
Vermont's Frameworks for Standards and Learning Opportunities
(2000), which includes healthy choices, were approved by the State Board of Education. The state does not require schools to follow a specific curriculum.

The Vermont Paraeducator Survey The Vermont Paraeducator Survey of 1997 was developed by Pat Mueller, Coordinator of the Paraeducator Training Project. The survey was developed to collect data regarding Vermont's paraeducator workforce, and to identify paraeducators' roles, training and support needs. Last fall, a 100 item survey was sent to all known paraeducators. 758 of them responded, a return rate of approximately 43%. In addition to the survey, 20 respondent volunteers kept time/task logs for two weeks to provide additional data on the duties paraeducators perform. The results were analyzed in the following topic areas:

Student Portfolios: Classroom Uses
WHAT IS IT ? Portfolios are collections of student work representing a selection of performance. Portfolios in classrooms today are derived from the visual and performing arts tradition in which they serve to showcase artists' accomplishments and personally favored works. A portfolio may be a folder containing a student's best pieces and the student's evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the pieces. It may also contain one or more works-in-progress that illustrate the creation of a product, such as an essay, evolving through various stages of conception, drafting, and revision. More teachers have recently begun using portfolios in all curricular areas. Portfolios are useful as a support to the new instructional approaches that emphasize the student's role in constructing understanding and the teacher's role in promoting understanding. For example, in writing instruction, portfolios can function to illustrate the range of assignments, goals, and audiences for which a student produced written material. In addition, portfolios can be a record of the activities undertaken over time in the development of written products. They can also be used to support cooperative teaming by offering an opportunity for students to share and comment on each other's work. For example, a videotape of students speaking French in the classroom can be used to evoke a critical evaluation of each other's conversational skills at various points during the school year.

Systemic Reform - October 1996
Vermont
Demographic and Fiscal Overview
Vermont is a small state, especially in population. Its small scale means both that actors in state education circles tend to know each other and that support from outside sources goes much farther than it would in a large state. Yet, its rural nature (two-thirds of the population lives in a small town or rural area) often isolates some schools from the larger towns and the state capital. Vermont's 105,000 students are spread across some 279 school districts with school boards. This school population is diverse in income and in special needs, but not in the standard categories of race and ethnicity. Across supervisory unions, the median percentage of children on free and reduced lunch was 24 percent, and the state has substantial areas of rural poverty.
State Strategy for Systemic Reform
The state strategy for systemic reform in Vermont is based on an overall theory of change and several activities that the Vermont Department of Education (VDE) uses to try to promote this theory promoting a vision of change, engaging the public, defining standards and assessments, and building partnerships outside the VDE.
Theory of Change
Interviews with members of the State Department of Education, together with the actions they have taken over the past few years, suggest that they embrace a theory about change in the educational system in which the following elements are central: (1) change should be oriented toward results; (2) state policies should provide consistent, but general, guidelines; (3) widespread public support is important, both for setting general directions and for making local decisions; and (4) all interested groups should realize that change will take time and support.

State General Fund Transfer
The General Fund pays for most of the services that state government provides, such as the state police or the Health Department.
Money transferred from the General Fund is the second-largest revenue source for Vermont schools.
Of the many tax sources that are deposited in the General Fund, the largest is the income tax.
State law provides that the legislature and Governor must transfer a certain amount from the General Fund to the Education Fund each year.
For FY-05 the amount to be transferred is $249.3 million. This amount is adjusted each year, rising and falling at the same rate as total General Fund spending. While the law provides the amount that will be transferred each year, the legislature and the Governor can change the law.
Every dollar the legislature transfers from the General Fund to the Education Fund is a dollar that does not need to be raised in property taxes.
Attempts to reduce this transfer to make money available for other uses end up increasing property taxes. Similarly, shifting costs to the Education Fund that previously had been funded from the General Fund also increases property taxes.

Student Rehearsing General Information The Vermont Jazz Center has established a proven program of jazz education which emphasizes ensemble coaching as well as individual instruction. Our faculty-student ratio is kept very small to maximize opportunities for personal growth. Overall enrollment is limited to 60 students. Students of this program are usually at an intermediate to advanced level. Many are working musicians who want some time and guidance to focus on their craft. Ages range from mature high school students to mature adults.
Workshop Students
Summer program participants have come from throughout the continental U.S., as well as Germany, France, Austria, Norway, Switzerland, and the Philippines. Enrollees include talented high school and college students considering a career in music, as well as working professionals of all ages wishing to refine instrumental and improvisational skills. Several have returned season after season.

Appendix A
The Rural School and Community Trust
The Rural School and Community Trust (Rural Trust) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving student learning and enhancing community life in rural areas of the United States. Its seeks to do this by strengthening relationships between rural schools and communities and engaging students in community-based work. The Rural Trust was founded in 1995 as the Annenberg Rural Challenge. Today it works with more than 700 rural schools in 35 states. The Rural Trust's program includes a capacity-building program and a policy-program. The capacity-building program encourages rural schools to design and implement place-based learning initiatives. Place-based pedagogy is rooted in a belief that when school curriculum incorporates the history, culture, ecology and economy of local communities, both communities and schools are strengthened in significant and sustainable ways. In Vermont, the Vermont Rural Partnership (VRP) is one of the Rural Trust sponsored initiatives. The partnership, founded in 1996, has grown to include 16 small schools and communities. The goals of the partnership mirror those of the Rural Trust. The partnership works together to strengthen schools and communities by building relationships, using the community as a resource and serving community needs. More information is available from Margaret MacLean, the principal of Peacham School, a VRP site.

The Reinventing Education grant is a joint effort by IBM and the People's Republic of China Ministry of Education. A key feature of the effort is utilization of educational experts and practitioners from within China and abroad to share innovative teaching methods and skills with in-service teachers. Already, 24 leading Chinese teachers from 12 schools representing four regions of China have participated in skills-transfer sessions led by leading Australian education experts benefiting 3,200 students. As the program expands over the next two years, 1,200 teachers will be trained, directly benefiting 60,000 students.
