This survey is designed to help us assess the level of awareness in the community regarding proficiency-based learning and personal learning plans such as student portfolios. We are working across Lamoille South Supervisory Union to develop a communications plan to get the word out on our progress on these two Act 77 initiatives.  Your feedback will contribute to this plan and is much appreciated.
