P65047_CVR.indd 2 8/26/09 5:03:08 PM Dear Potomac Community,

A great teacher has the power to transform and inspire while imparting knowledge and understanding. That power is derived from both pedagogy and personality. Over the last decade, as we have learned more about the development of the mind, we have been able to improve and refi ne the “science” of teaching. But part of that science also confi rms the “art” component of teaching. We know intuitively, and now through research, that social and emotional elements are critical to the teaching and learning process. Thus teaching is both professional, but also very personal. Of course the ideas in a work of literature, the logic in an equation, the observation in a laboratory are important content. But, for true transfer of knowledge to take place, the teacher must derive—and inspire—joy from the act of teaching and connecting with his or her students. All are learning and growing together. Our teachers are committed to continuous growth. They hone their skills through study and practice, and by collaborating with colleagues. One example is the monthly Craft of Teaching evenings initiated by a group of Potomac teachers, which bring together those newest to the role with others who have spent a career working with young minds. These gatherings are both celebration and opportunity. We can draw parallels to the craftsman—the stonecutter for a great cathedral, the calligrapher at work on an illuminated manuscript, the Shakespearian actor transporting us to another time and place. It is not simply about the skill—each craftsman infuses him or herself into the process. Those in pursuit of true excellence move beyond the utility of an exercise to create an enduring experience. The power of a great teacher to connect with a child and to help that child connect to self and others has been celebrated from the earliest civilizations. A child is born and enters school with the intrinsic ability to learn and to grow. Our role is to nurture and develop that ability, so that learning becomes a joyful and mindful quest throughout school and life beyond.

Embracing Lifelong Learning Inspired teaching is a natural result of the outstanding talent of Potomac’s teachers and the School’s exceptional commitment to professional development. Modeling for students the importance of lifelong learning, faculty members are constantly exploring ways to expand their expertise and develop their craft. Potomac provides teachers with myriad opportunities that enrich the intellectual life of the School and spark contagious enthusiasm for the art of teaching. By aligning enrichment initiatives with their own professional goals, Potomac teachers exemplify the love of learning at the heart of the Potomac community.

NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION

A number of Potomac faculty are National Board Certifi ed Teachers. This rigorous professional development endeavor is a year-long project that requires a teacher to demonstrate excellence in his or her fi eld, as well as an ability to refl ect on teaching practices and subject matter in relation to students’ learning. It is a challenge to pass all components of the process, which includes completing several portfolios of lesson plans and assessments, videotaping lessons and passing a three-hour exam in the specifi c subject matter. Potomac teachers with this distinguished certifi cation include: Mary Cahill, Janet Dewey, Carol Hilderbrand, Jonathan Lindsay, Sharon Stein and Joy Webster. Potomac is one of only a few independent schools with teachers who have pursued National Board Certifi cation.

FALL 2009 9

P65047_TXT.indd A9 8/17/09 11:17:06 AM FOSTERING THE CRAFT

As teachers, we continue to ask ourselves, “What is at the heart of this life we have chosen? Decades after our own graduations, why are we still in school? What impels us to build and re-build learning communities? What about our work saps us, and what sustains us? How do we know when we have failed and when we have succeeded? What do our students most need from us, and how can we provide it? What inspiration, guidance and hard-won experience can we offer each other?” Drawing upon earlier Potomac programs like TNT (Teachers New to Teaching), led for years by now-retired second grade teacher Sarah Corson, the Craft of Teaching is a continuing series of discussions among current faculty, distinguished retired faculty and recent alumni who teach. Hosted by Assistant Head of School Sheila O’Marah and Art Department Chair Cort Morgan, teachers meet once a month for a buffet supper and a lively discussion. Recent topics have included “intuition in learning,” “discomfort in learning,” “rewards and punishments in learning,” and “nature as the teacher”; the conversation always expands as ideas develop. Cross-currents among participants make each gathering unique and memorable. Fresh impressions from alumni are invaluable as we seek, as an institution, to connect the dots between our intentions and our results. Over the last two years, we have benefi ted from the perspective of more than 150 participants, including 16 distinguished retired faculty and 11 recent alumni who teach. But numbers alone don’t tell the story. Each of these gatherings helps reinforce old values, helps stimulate creative innovation, and helps us share a communal purpose. Counting just our retired veterans and young alumni teachers, we have benefi ted from more than 300 years of life and work at The Potomac School. Sampling this collective experience is a profound adventure, like hiking an old-growth forest or diving a coral reef.

During her years here, she worked to help young children fi nd the artists within themselves. “I want all my students to know they are artists and to fi nd great satisfaction and joy in creating.” Swope was the kind of teacher who could fi nd the artist in anyone. She appreciated the beauty in a child’s whimsical collection of natural objects, or his exploration of color, or her arrangement of shapes and textures.

COURTYARD HONORS TEACHER’S MEMORY

A large crowd of family, friends, faculty and students gathered May 1 to celebrate the dedication of the Civali Courtyard, a beautiful new gathering space adjacent to the Upper School. The garden courtyard was named in honor of beloved French and Literature teacher, Foreign Language Department Chair, Academic Dean and Trustee David Civali, who died in 2005. Speakers included Brian Pence ’95, Assistant Head of School for Academics Bill Cook, Upper School Art Department Chair Cort Morgan, Upper School Head Martha Holland and David’s brother John. The Upper School choral group the Madrigals sang “Simple Gifts” to complete the moving ceremony. The courtyard features low, curving walls that form seating circles and gathering places for large and small groups. A garden of trees, shrubs and perennial fl owers creates a peaceful atmosphere, encouraging lively discussion among teachers and students as well as quiet refl ection and study. An inspiration to students and faculty alike, David is remembered for his intelligence, warmth and humor. He joined the Potomac faculty in 1989 and, though he retired in 1996 due to failing health, continued at Potomac as a tutor and member of the Board of Trustees. The new Civali Courtyard “will be a daily reminder of our best values in education, embodied in the life and example of David Civali,” says Morgan. The Civali Courtyard (top) offers a peaceful retreat just outside the Upper School. Brian Pence ’95 (left) and John Civali spoke at the courtyard’s dedication ceremony in May.

ALUMNI REMINISCE AT UVA DINNER

The Alumni Offi ce traveled to the University of Virginia in April to reconnect with recent Potomac graduates. At a casual Biltmore Grill dinner they exchanged fond memories and amusing stories of their beloved teachers and experiences at Potomac. As alums discussed summer plans and approaching fi nal exams, all agreed that they missed Potomac and were sure to be back on campus at some point during their summer break. The evening ended with the young alums generously giving a token of their appreciation to Potomac by making an Annual Fund donation.

P65047_TXT.indd A45 8/17/09 11:24:50 AM MESSAGE TO ALUMNI

Dear Alumni:

As I end my fi rst year as President of the Alumni Governing Council, I can honestly say that this experience is indeed rewarding. I have gained new perspective on the role of alumni at Potomac — what Potomac means to us and what we as former students off er today’s Potomac as an ongoing legacy. It is this connection that helps make Potomac a unique educational environment that aff ords its students academic excellence as well as lifetime memories and friendships. The “aha” moment for me was understanding the critical importance of alumni giving to the Annual Fund. As an alumna who has given intermittently over the past thirty years, I paid no particular attention to what impact my contribution (or lack thereof) might have on the day-to- day running of the school. I fi gured that Potomac was “okay” without my contribution, and in truth, none of my individual donations amounted to a student scholarship, a teacher’s salary or annual supplies for a grade-level. However, when my class celebrated its 25th reunion in 2004, our collective gift was quite signifi cant in helping meet the School’s annual budget. (Kudos to Dr. Ramin Oskoui for the insight to issue the Class of ’78 reunion challenge.) There truly is strength in numbers, and our gift illustrates just how powerful a class donation can be toward sustaining Potomac’s programs and traditions. The information I have absorbed in the past nine months serving on the Board of Trustees and the Board’s Development Committee, as well as chairing the Alumni Engagement Committee on Strategic Initiatives, motivates me to share my newfound appreciation of the Annual Fund as the backbone of Potomac. No other fundraising initiative is as critical to supporting the school we love. To highlight the importance of the Annual Fund to the successful operation of the School, the Board of Trustees and Head of School Geoff Jones have committed to the following goals: • Raise the level of giving to provide 10 percent of the School’s operating budget. • Communicate to the entire Potomac community the importance of participation and gifts of any size. Changing mindsets can lead to changed behavior, and I challenge all alumni to align their individual and collective giving to Potomac with their fondness for the school that taught, nourished and helped us fl ourish into the adults we are today.

Dear Potomac Community,

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank you for your generosity and unwavering support of The Potomac School. At a time of unprecedented economic turmoil, our community—alumni, faculty, students, parents (past and current), grandparents and friends—pulled together to strengthen our School through extraordinary gifts of time and fi nancial resources. This year’s Annual Report underscores this commitment to supporting the mission of Potomac. Please take some time to review these pages; you will be inspired! Financial sustainability of our School is critical to advancement of Potomac’s educational mission. It allows us to continue our longstanding commitment to excellence in the arts, athletics and academics. It is imperative to attracting and retaining our world-class teaching talent and to supporting the diverse needs of our families. This year, the determined eff ort of our volunteers and donors met with great success even in diffi cult times. The cornerstone of our fundraising eff orts, The Annual Fund, provided more than $1.2 million for our students and teachers in every division. Fundraising for the Campaign for Potomac’s Future continues with a focus on engaging new families. Our Fall Frolics Carnival and Auction, which returned to campus this year, raised more than $400,000 for student fi nancial aid and faculty professional development. Thank you to everyone who participated this year. The sustained generosity of our community to the Campaign for Potomac’s Future coupled with brilliant planning and project management allowed us to proceed—on time and under budget—with the construction of our new Lower School. This breathtaking new facility will open to the sounds of excited children and teachers in September. I want to express my gratitude to the members of the Potomac Board of Trustees for their steadfast leadership and diligent work on behalf of our School. This June, Barbara Overstreet and Sam Chappell completed their terms of service. Their wise counsel and tireless commitment to Potomac have advanced our work in the areas of development, governance, audit and fi duciary oversight, investments and strategic planning. We thank them for their outstanding service as we welcome Joe Allen, Keith Ausbrook ‘73, and James Socas as new Trustees. I am honored to serve as the Chair of the Board of Trustees. I am grateful for and proud of the commitment and talent of our incredible faculty and staff , the leadership of Geoff Jones and his administrative team, and the generosity of spirit of our community. Again, thank you for your gifts of time and fi nancial resources—each hour and each dollar makes a diff erence in the lives of our children.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth S. Duff Chair, Board of Trustees
