  • The Seed School of Maryland, Head of School
    THE SEED SCHOOL OF MARYLAND, HEAD OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION The SEED School of Maryland (SEED MD) is a college-preparatory, public boarding school that serves 400 students in grades six through twelve. Its student body draws from a statewide pool of applicants selected by lottery. It was founded on the understanding that a single college graduate can make a profound impact on his or her entire family. The school’s innovative model integrates a rigorous, college-preparatory academic program with a boarding program that teaches life skills and provides a safe, secure, and nurturing environment 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. SEED students live on campus and benefit from a collaborative network of families, faculty, staff, and community members. The SEED model includes academic, residential, mental health, physical health, social, and enrichment programs, all available on campus. SEED MD, which opened in 2008, was the second school established by The SEED Foundation. The SEED School of Washington, D.C. (SEED DC) has been in existence for 20 years. The SEED School of Miami opened in 2014 and currently serves 260 students in grades 6-11, and at capacity, will grow to serve 400 students in grades 6-12. The success of the SEED model has been showcased in media outlets and publications such as 60 Minutes, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Nightline, Today, Good Morning America, and in the documentary film Waiting for “Superman.” United States President Barack Obama hailed SEED as “a true success story.” SEED MD was created out of a Maryland law that established a public, college preparatory boarding school for underserved Maryland students.

  • The Seed School of Washington, Dc
    What does it take to prepare students for college and careers in the 21st century? Time. It takes time to grow into a successful individual. But how far and how fast we grow depends on another question: what do we do with the time we are given? At SEED, we are with our students 24 hours a day, five days a week. We call this our “gift of time,” but it is more than that. Time is a responsibility and a means for our students, parents, teachers, staff, and supporters to do amazing things. This report is a celebration of what they are able to accomplish with the gift of time; it rejoices in the answers to one simple question: what can you do with 24 hours? For Justin Eames (page 11), director of technology at SEED Maryland, having 24 hours means that students can explore potential career paths through state-of-the-art technology. For Nicole Padro (page 12), student life counselor at SEED Miami, 24 hours means time to foster a love of learning in her students by reading aloud stories before bedtime. And for SEED DC parent Tasha Poulson (page 14), a 24-hour program means that her children are safe and surrounded by positive role models committed to their growth. As SEED grows, our schools remain connected by the gift of time. Whether in D.C., Maryland, or Miami, we have the opportunity to support our students and staff in ways that other schools cannot. This is a privilege and a responsibility. If you are reading this report, then you have likely supported SEED in the past.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School The College of Education THE CURRICULUM OF THE CARLISLE INDIAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL: AN AMERICAN EDUCATION A Dissertation in Curriculum and Instruction by Joy Meness Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 i The dissertation of Joy Meness was reviewed and approved* by the following: Daniel Hade Associate Professor of Education (Language & Literacy Education) Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Jacqueline Reid-Walsh Associate Professor of Education (Language & Literacy Education) and Women's Studies Co-Chair of Committee Jamie M. Myers Professor of Education (Language & Literacy Education) Christine Marmé Thompson Professor of Art Education William Carlsen Director of Graduate Studies, Curriculum and Instruction *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract During the latter half of the 18th century, as aggressive and violent militarization continued, the United States legislated against Indian interests while promoting social advancement through industrial education. While boarding schools had been presented to European society as elite institutions for centuries, their transition to19th century North America signified a radical shift in form and function. Under orders carried out by the U.S. military, Native children were forcibly removed from their families to be educated at residential schools, undergoing training similar to that of military and prison inductees. Therefore the pedagogical roots of American Indian education during the 19th century were steeped in practices meant to assimilate Indigenous children into American society psychologically, spiritually, and physically. Founded in 1879, the Carlisle Indian Industrial School was established by United States Army General Richard H.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • A Jewish Day School Surfing the Edge: an Autoethnographic Study
    1 A JEWISH DAY SCHOOL SURFING THE EDGE: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY A Doctoral Thesis presented by Sharon Pollin to The School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education In the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts February 2017 2 Abstract A thriving Jewish day school is a vital cornerstone of a flourishing Jewish community. Particularly in communities with small Jewish populations, Jewish day schools are able to play roles that extend beyond the lives of their own student body, and they often serve as a hub for community connection and engagement. In July 2013, with a student enrollment of 27, a nationally recognized day school feasibility expert recommended that the Community Day School of New Orleans close its doors. The research problem I intend to study is my experience as leader of the K–5 (renamed) Jewish Community Day School of Greater New Orleans, as it endeavors to achieve viability and strength. Although many recent studies focus on the sustainability of Jewish day schools, there is a gap in the literature about the journey of a school poised at the edge of the wave between viability and impossibility. This autoethnographic account of my experience will contribute to the growing body of scholarly literature on Jewish day school sustainability. Complexity leadership theory serves as the theoretical framework for this research project. Keywords: Complexity leadership theory, autoethnography, Jewish day school sustainability, New Orleans 3 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Rabbi Dr. Karen Reiss Medwed for the persistence of her support and guidance as my professor at Hebrew College and as my doctoral advisor at Northeastern University.
