Vermont higher Education collaborative

About Us

Collaborating with experts to support schools and deliver professional development, ensuring the success of all students.

At VT-HEC we are driven to provide accessible and powerful learning opportunities that further the expertise, knowledge, and skills of teachers and others working in schools, leaving them better equipped to address the barriers that Vermont students face.

We recruit expertise from practitioners in the field to collaboratively design, develop, and implement programs. It is always our aim to remain nimble and responsive to the emerging needs of Vermont’s educators and to actively seek feedback to help clarify those needs and continually improve in our work. In recent years, we have significantly increased our capacity to address shortage areas.

We offer educator licensing and endorsement programs in Special Education, Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Health Education, and Work-Based Learning, as well as a graduate certificate program in Neurodiversity and Inclusion. Programs are flexible and designed to accommodate professionals working in schools.

Our professional learning workshops, continuing education courses, and consulting provide in-person, remote, and recorded opportunities on a range of emergent topics.
