Since becoming Executive Director in September 2012, I have relished the opportunity to continue the work of this beloved organization that has been planting kids in nature since 1970. There have been many memorable moments for me in these two years. I am inspired by every child that comes to experience Slide Ranch, whether they are seeing the ocean for the first time or playing in the Fennel Forest for the tenth time. Additional highlights included witnessing my first goat kid birth alongside 7th graders from Martin Luther King Jr Academy of Marin City, hosting a film crew for Disney’s Pass the Plate TV series, and bringing Slide Ranch into the digital age with our new website, online registration and e-news.

    FALL FORUM NOVEMBER 7-9, 2014 SAN FRANCISCO Fall Forum 2014 30 Years of Common Principles and Uncommon Schools

    30 YEARS OF COMMON PRINCIPLES AND UNCOMMON SCHOOLS COALITION OF ESSENTIAL SCHOOLS FALL FORUM NOVEMBER 7-9, 2014 SAN FRANCISCO Fall Forum 2014 30 Years of Common Principles and Uncommon Schools Dear Friends, Welcome to the celebration of 30 Years of Common Principles and Uncommon Schools! When the organizing committee for this year’s Fall Forum sent me this year’s theme I must admit that my eyes misted up just a bit. Could it really be 30 years of CES? And then I began to recall all the colleagues and friends that make up my memories of Fall Forum and the work of CES. All the schools that I know of that are, in their uncommon ways, making the world a better place for children and their families. The exhibitions of learning I have seen, portfolios I have read, advisory meetings I have sat in on, graduates I have heard give testimony to their school, and teachers telling me about the love they have for their work. Honestly, I get choked up again just writing those sentences. When our founder, Ted Sizer, began CES it was, I believe, in an elevator with several school leaders who shared a common belief. They shared belief that public education in our nation is absolutely vital to the preservation and advancement of our republic. Further, they knew that such an education required schools that were engaging, child centered, honored the work of teachers, and made students stand and deliver when it came time to show what they know. Beyond that they knew, from their years of experience, that reforms at the time (remember A Nation At Risk?) were not going to get us to those schools.

    CHILDREN’S DAY SCHOOL San Francisco, California MIDDLE SCHOOL DIRECTOR Start Date: July 2021 cds-sf.org Mission At Children’s Day School, what you learn and who you become are equally important. CDS is a welcoming community in the big city, a farm and garden among urban streets, an advocate for responsibility to others as well as individual achievement, an independent school with down-to- earth values, always asking how we can do this better. We strive for balance so students become both academically successful and grounded. They leave CDS confident, with the humility to listen and the resolve to speak up for what they see as right. Beliefs Learning is Active, Differences Lift Us, Community Matters Values Be Just and Courageous, Share Kindness and Joy, Stay Grounded OVERVIEW Children’s Day School (CDS) is a co-educational preschool through eighth-grade school serving over 481 students in the Mission Dolores neighborhood of San Francisco. Spanning two campuses, and home to a diverse community of students, faculty, and families, CDS is a vibrant learning community grounded in its newly adopted Mission, Beliefs, and Values. At CDS, teachers believe that when children are encouraged to fully engage with complex topics in myriad ways, they are learning the tools to become lifelong learners and passionate citizens of the world. Through a constructivist education, students at CDS grow into engaged community members through a unique combination of service, experiential learning, and social justice education. Assuming the role in July 2021, CDS is seeking an innovative, dynamic, and civic-minded Middle School Director to provide strategic leadership to build upon the strength of the current program for grades 5-8 and continue to learn together.
