VTS Partner Network
The VTS Partner Network is a group of VTS educators, teachers and others who have completed the VTS Professional Development Institute series and used and implemented VTS in various settings such as museums, schools, and universities.
Network partners have access to the wealth of experience and knowledge of VTS founders and staff through ongoing institutes, regular phone and e-mail communication, and an annual VTS Partner conference.
Partners will also be invited to join in the implementation of VTS programming as it expands in the US and abroad, contribute to VTS research, and help us develop new ways to use VTS in different settings and for different constituents.
VTS Partner Wiki
VTS National is currently undertaking the development of a new program website that will house all VTS curriculum materials and support VTS training events across the country. Part of this project is the development of a wiki-based forum to facilitate communication and sharing between VTS Partners and Staff.
VTS Partner Wiki will go live for the 2009-10 school year.
"The language of education, if it is to be an invitation to reflection and culture creating, cannot be the so-called uncontaminated language of fact and ‘objectivity’.
It must express stance and must invite counter-stance, and in the process leave place for reflection, for meta-cognition. It is this that permits one to reach higher ground, this process of objectifying in language or image what one has thought and then turning around and re-considering it."
— Jerome Bruner
