  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

Coming to Boston for PoCC/SDLC is historically significant as NAIS originated at offices near Faneuil Hall on Tremont Street. The rich density of inde- pendent schools in and around Boston, many with historic commitments to and success in building and sustaining inclu- sive school communities, makes bringing the conferences to South Boston ideal, particularly as this part of the city under- goes revitalization while PoCC has undergone a redesign. The new approach to PoCC is actually a return to its original purpose, providing people of color in our schools a sanctuary and a “voice,” a means for support and networking, and a chance to celebrate their roles in independent schools.

  • S a School Ar Approach Rchives in H N Action: : a Practi Ice-Based D
    School Archives in Action: A Practiice-Based Research Approach SARAH A. BUCHANAN The Meadows School, Las Vegas, Nevada Abstract: School archives consist of documents, artifacts,, and ephemera such as artwork and uniforms which form the foundation for understanding and constructing an individual school's history annd broader educational memory. Successful school archives have implemented research recommendations which have established the archival value of preserving these matterials, and their utility in support of community identity and service-learning. This paper surveys the development of school archives within their innstitutions and reports on continuing professional development activities worldwide for school archivists. The concept of practice-based research is applied in order to identify archival programs and examine specific uses for the hiistorical materials found in school archives. Introduction While archival materials have been housed in schools for generations, their visibility has increased in recent years as scholarly cultural and historical research has shifted in visible ways from the study of bureaucratic and organizationaal records to tthe study of the daily lives and everyday activities of citizens. The primary sources for such cultural studies increasingly derive from local communities, schools, and family archives.1 Public and nonpublic schools in the United States have collected materials since their rapid establishment nationwide in the nineteenth century. When recognizing their founding through a centennial celebration or related anniversary, many school administrators today have chosen to devote renewed attention to their heritage by establishing and supporting an archival program. This practice-based research surveys the development of school archives and is contextualized by a school archives literature review and professsional analysis.
