When high school isn't working Marjorie Coeyman, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor BURLINGTON, VT. - Bette Matkowski's epiphany about reaching disengaged high-schoolers grew out of her experience with her daughter Anne - a bright girl who nonetheless found herself bored, restless, and failing high school. "She had this active intellectual life but it just wasn't in school," says Ms. Matkowski. Anne eventually went to boarding school, where a more-challenging curriculum and smaller classes reconnected her with academics. And that's when it hit Matkowski, a regional director of the Community College of Vermont in Burlington: Why not put bright but struggling high-schoolers into

84. Biographical Information at the University of Minnesota, I returned to vermont and began teaching English at the Stowe School, a private boarding school in north central vermont. http://tc.unl.edu/mbryant/Bio.htm

Biographical Information Go Back to Home Page I grew up in Vermont. My elementary school education was characterized by much moving about. My father was an officer in the Army and was stationed in Europe and later in Korea. By midway through elementary school, I was in a single parent family although I never thought of that as a risk. Nor, I suspect, did my mother. Nonetheless, we moved just about every year. I graduated from Burr and Burton Seminary in Manchester, VT in 1960. The teacher in high school who influenced me most was a man by the name of John Fay. For four years, he assigned and diligently scrutinized weekly essays that all students in his classes wrote. During my high school years I played sports and skied. I also worked at Bromley Ski area and had construction jobs in the summer. I attended Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT, graduating in 1964. I majored in American Literature. In that field at that time, one’s senior year was spent preparing for comprehensive examinations. I recall having two days of written exams and then a grueling three hour session in which all of the professors of the department grilled each student. It was during these years that I married my first wife. We had two children, Owen Keith Bryant and Kendra Bryant Wisch. Owen is a human factors engineer and Kendra has her own counseling practice in Maine. After an attempt at a Ph.D. program at the University of Minnesota, I returned to Vermont and began teaching English at the Stowe School, a private boarding school in north central Vermont. This was a wonderful but challenging job. I was able to lead adolescents on all sorts of "outward bound" experiences, i.e. camping and hiking trips through the mountains of the northeast and that was wonderful. It was challenging because most of these students had experienced significant problems in school. These were very formative days for me and many of my beliefs about education were learned from colleagues and students at "

Liberals pin hopes on Dean Does this man really deserve your vote? Washington Post he thought it was "pathetic" that he’s even considered a progressive. "It shows how far to the right this country has lurched," he said. Dean’s origins have more in common with George Bush than the ordinary people he and the Democrats claim to stand for. Dean comes from a long line of stockbrokershis family put the "Dean" in Dean Witter Reynolds. He worked on Wall Street himselfbetween his career as a ski bum in Aspen, Colo., and becoming a doctor. And he spent his childhood shuttling between "the big house" in the Hamptons, his parents’ posh Park Avenue apartment and exclusive private schools. "The Deanswho were, of course, Republicansbelonged to the super-exclusive Maidstone golf club, which for decades had no minority or Jewish members," Time Time as "a boarding school that today costs $30,000 a year and maintains its own 69-foot sloop for student boating." Dean proved to be Corporate America’s best friend in Vermont. "We would meet privately with him three to four times a year to discuss our issues," said John O’Kane, a manager at IBM in Vermont, "and his secretary of commerce would call me once a week just to see how things were going." Yet on several occasions, Dean refused to meet with IBM workers.

Pawlet School District Printer-friendly version 224 F.3d 60 (2nd Cir. 2000) Education : Special Education; Due Process US Court of Appeals Aug 8 2000 J.D., an academically gifted minor with documented behavioral problems, brought a claim against his local school district and the Vermont state Board of Education challenging the school district's failure to provide a free appropriate public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). In an interesting decision that presented a question of first impression in the second circuit, the Court of Appeals found that the plaintiff's status as an academically gifted student with an emotional disability did not entitle him to special education services under IDEA, but that he was entitled to "reasonable accommodations" under Section 504. The court also rejected J.D.’s Section 504 claim on the ground that the school district had offered a reasonable accommodation given the disability present. J.D.’s parents, unhappy with the alternatives presented by the local school district, unilaterally enrolled J.D. in a private post-secondary boarding school catering to academically gifted children. The school board had offered a placement at the local high school, with enrollment opportunity at a local college, and concurrent counseling and peer training sessions to address the behavioral/emotional issues. The court determined that these accommodations were reasonable under Section 504, which gave J.D. “the same access to the benefits of a public education as all other students.”

Resources "Including students as representatives on boards and committees takes classroom learning into the community and opens the door for many more students to become involved in the policies and practices that shape their schools." Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction Elizabeth Burmaster Students on School Boards of Education Resource Guide Second Edition, August 2003 Created for www.SoundOut.org Description A multi-topic resource guide promoting Student Voice, Participation, Engagement, Involvement, and Representation on Local, District, Regional, and State Boards of Education. Includes research, examples, and other resources for students, educators, administrators, and concerned community members who support validating student voice in school decision-making by including students on school boards. For more information on students as education decision-makers, click here Introduction STUDENT participation on boards of education is a small part of a much larger movement towards meaningful student involvement throughout education. Since the 1960s the effort to promote student representation has waxed and waned, according to the will of school officials and the sincere interest of students involved. Today that tide is turning, and students across the US are calling for deepened engagement in the decision-making that affects them on all levels - in the classroom, in the auditorium, and in the boardroom. This guide can also serve students, educators, administrators, and concerned community members around the nation as they lobby for student participation on school boards of education.

95. THE SCHOOL Education as a private secondary school with diploma granting privileges and is approved for special education funding by the vermont State Board of Education http://www.pineridgeschool.com/detail.htm

THE SCHOOL Pine Ridge School, founded in 1968, is a coeducational boarding school for adolescents from ages thirteen to eighteen who are experiencing academic difficulties as a result of specific language based learning disabilities. The school recognizes that the learning process of these students is different from that of their peers and that each student possesses individual learning needs. Thus, Pine Ridge defines its mission as "an educational community committed to assisting adolescents with learning disabilities to define and achieve success throughout their lives." Students are provided with a highly structured, success-oriented environment where classes are small and opportunities for teacher-student interactions are frequent. The four major components of the program—academic, remedial, residential/social, and athletic/recreational—are designed and coordinated to address every aspect of learning disabilities as they affect student growth and learning. A unique aspect of the Pine Ridge experience is the hiring of separate staff members for each of the four program areas, which allows staff to focus all of their energy on one particular component of the program. In addition, generalized outcomes, which measure skills that are essential for success, are taught and measured across the four program areas. These outcomes include speaking, listening, organizational skills, time management, and self-advocacy. Located at the foot of Vermont’s scenic Green Mountains, the Pine Ridge Campus encompasses more than 100 acres. While the setting is rural, the school is only eight miles from Burlington, Vermont’s largest city and home to the University of Vermont. Recent studies have ranked Vermont as one of the two safest states, and Burlington is regularly listed as one of America’s best places to live.

96. The Mountain School -[ About ]- visited the Conards school in vermont during the trouble and expressed interest in selling their school. from their proposal to Milton s Board of Trustees of http://www.mountainschool.org/about/

The Mountain School History The Mountain School, founded in 1983, grew out of two very different school cultures: the four-year Mountain School in rural Vermont, run by Mac and Doris Conard; and Milton Academy, a large suburban school under the leadership of Jerry Pieh in the early 1980s. David and Nancy Grant, young teachers with a vision, visited the Conards' school in Vermont during the fall of 1982. After twenty years in education, the Conards had run into some financial trouble and expressed interest in selling their school. This excerpt from their proposal to Milton's Board of Trustees of January 28, 1983, shows what the Grants found: We stood on the hill in the center of the 300-acre campus and saw the evidence of a remarkable educational opportunity. The huge school garden stretched before us and sloped down to the field where a few sheep and cows grazed beside the barn. At one end of the field, we could look down on the buildings of the school... Beyond the campus stretched Vermont and New Hampshire, the peaks of the White Mountains visible in the east. We were struck both by the fact that Mountain School students lived and worked close to the natural world and by our own sense that to appreciate this world and one's part in it is educational in some fundamental way.

97. Greenwood Institute History Faculty of the University of vermont and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Dartmouth Medical School. Dr. Moats is on the national board of the http://www.greenwoodinstitute.org/institute/inhistory.html

The Greenwood Institute is an affiliate of The Greenwood School, a pre-preparatory boarding school for 40 boys, ages 10-15, who have dyslexia. Long before researchers began acknowledging that cultural definitions of intelligence are too limited, Greenwood School founders made the philosophical commitment to focus on abilities rather than disabilities. Thus the school has been able to form a variety of bridges between gifted, special and regular educational programs. By emphasizing the intellectual and emotional/creative strengths of its students, and by incorporating remedial language therapy into every facet of the school day, Greenwood School has set a new standard in remedial language education, earned an excellent reputation among its peers, and a loyal and grateful following among its parents and alumni. Greenwood Institute will be working closely with several major research centers, including those at Yale University, the University of Washington, Tufts University, and Wayne State University in Detroit, to evaluate its approaches to both student remediation and teacher education. Thomas Scheidler founded the Greenwood Institute in 1981, in order to share the knowledge and expertise of Greenwood School teachers through conferences, workshops, consulting services, and teacher training. Louisa Cook Moats, Ed.D., joined the Institute as director of clinical services and training in 1994.
