Gratitude
On Friday, November 13, a professor from Bank Street College of Education in New York City visited out campus. Professor McKersie is currently on sabbatical and working to open a school of arts and technology for at-risk teens in the Hudson Valley. She spent a couple hours on campus, and has seen many high schools around the country as part of her research. Here is her note of appreciation:
It was a great pleasure meeting you and getting to observe your terrific staff and students in action. I deeply appreciate the timeyou took from your busy schedule to discuss both the joys andchallenges of leading a dynamic institution, such as George Washington Carver. I was struck by the kindness exhibited between students, and the caring and supportive interactions between teachers and students.
This alone says a lot about your school!
It's deeply inspiring the efforts you are making to introduce Waldorf methods to your staff and students.
This is such important work! Indeed, if young people are going to be prepared to participate in an increasingly complex world, they will need to be open and responsive and demonstrate originality and inventiveness. As you said, these skills are not acquired through textbooks or standardized tests, but through hands-on inquiry and experimentation. The ability to document the effectiveness of Waldorf methods (in both lower and upper grade levels) would be invaluable to school reform efforts everywhere, I imagine.
Thank you for the delicious vegetables. The bok choy was heavenly!
