Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes in Vermont's Education Improvement Grants
The Large Grants for Education Improvement program, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to support education research projects that contribute to the improvement of education in Vermont. To achieve this goal, the program focuses on several priority outcomes that are crucial for the state's educational development.
Addressing Vermont's Unique Educational Challenges
Vermont's educational landscape is characterized by its rural geography and small school districts, which can create challenges in providing equitable access to quality education. The state's Agency of Education plays a key role in addressing these challenges by working with local districts to improve educational outcomes. The priority outcomes for this grant program are designed to address these challenges and capitalize on the state's strengths. One of the primary priority outcomes is improving student outcomes in Vermont's rural and small schools. Research has shown that students in these schools often face unique challenges, including limited access to advanced courses and extracurricular activities. To address this, the grant program prioritizes projects that develop innovative solutions to improve student outcomes in these areas. For example, projects that leverage technology to provide access to advanced courses or that develop new models for delivering student support services are likely to be considered favorably. Vermont's rural counties, such as Essex and Orleans, are of particular interest due to their distinct demographic and geographic features. Another key priority outcome is enhancing the capacity of Vermont's education system to support students' social-emotional learning and mental health. The state's education system has recognized the importance of supporting students' mental health and well-being, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Projects that develop and implement evidence-based strategies for promoting social-emotional learning and mental health are likely to be prioritized. The Vermont Agency of Education has identified this as a key area of focus, and the grant program is designed to support this effort. Applicants should be aware that the Agency of Education will be looking for projects that align with the state's existing initiatives in this area, such as the Vermont Social-Emotional Learning Standards. The grant program also prioritizes projects that promote equity and excellence in education. Vermont has a strong commitment to equity in education, and the grant program is designed to support this goal. Projects that address disparities in educational outcomes, particularly for historically underserved student populations, are likely to be considered favorably. For example, projects that develop targeted supports for English language learners or students with disabilities may be prioritized. The Vermont Department of Education's equity initiatives, such as the Equity in Education Plan, provide a framework for applicants to consider when developing their projects.
Measuring Success in Vermont's Education Improvement Grants
To measure the success of the grant program, the Banking Institution will be working closely with the Vermont Agency of Education to track progress towards the priority outcomes. This will involve regular reporting and evaluation, as well as ongoing communication between grantees and Agency staff. Applicants should be prepared to describe their plans for measuring and evaluating their project's impact, including any data collection and analysis that will be required. The Vermont Agency of Education has developed a range of resources to support grantees in this effort, including guidance on data collection and reporting. In Vermont, applicants can access additional resources to support their grant applications through organizations like the Vermont Community Foundation, which provides grants and other support to non-profits and community organizations. Furthermore, the Vermont Humanities Council offers grants that, while not directly related to education improvement, can complement projects that incorporate humanities-based approaches. By understanding and aligning with the priority outcomes, applicants can increase their chances of securing funding.

A: Projects that address Vermont's unique educational challenges, such as improving student outcomes in rural and small schools, enhancing the capacity of the education system to support students' social-emotional learning and mental health, and promoting equity and excellence in education, are likely to be considered favorably.
