    COLD SPRING HARBOR CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 October 9, 2018 Cold Spring Harbor Central School District The 2017-2018 school year was one in which we created a variety of new learning experiences for our students, all behind the efforts of Cold Spring Harbor teachers and leaders to prepare them for the future. Following the vision driving the district’s board of education goals, all teachers and leaders continued to build an awareness of the Next Generation Learning Standards through a diverse professional development workshops offered by staff developers from around the country and members of the Cold Spring Harbor faculty. Professional development occurred in numerous content areas such as English Language Arts, math, social studies, science, and technology. Teachers also received professional learning in the revised New York State Standards for the Arts. These efforts continue to support many goals including the district’s work in building authentic research experiences for all students in kindergarten through graduation. In addition, our Science Research Program continued to flourish and its expansion provided students with practical experiences and even an opportunity to highlight their work at the Science Research Symposium at the high school, a true example of providing students with opportunities to share high level research with their peers and the community. While there are many highlights to the school year in relation to the district’s goals in the area of technology, the Creative Learning Labs assembled at the two elementary buildings provided students, teachers, and even parents the chance to experience a truly redefined classroom. Designed by teachers and leaders, these state-of-the-art spaces outfitted with flexible furniture, afforded students with the ability to experience enhanced and differentiated learning environments.

  • Greening Synagogues: Lessons from the Jewish Greening Fellowship Prepared By: Dr
    SYNERGY VOLUME 12 | 2016 | 5776 Greening Synagogues: Lessons from the Jewish Greening Fellowship Prepared by: Dr. Mirele Goldsmith ©2016 UJA-Federation of New York Letter from UJA-Federation of New York In 2008 UJA-Federation of New York leaders began to consider how to respond to growing concerns about climate change. They also explored emerging perspectives about how environmental, social, and political aspects of sustainability will impact the Jewish community in the future. One response was The Jewish Greening Fellowship (JGF), which was launched in 2009. UJA-Federation’s Commission on Jewish Identity and Renewal (COJIR) recognized the opportunity to catalyze caring, connection, and inspiration with people who would be engaged in environmental stewardship. COJIR also recognized “greening” as a way for Jewish organizations to provide leadership to Jewish communities that were interested in taking on the challenges of climate change and sustainability. This report reflects UJA-Federation’s commitment to sharing innovations and strategies that help synagogues thrive. Greening a synagogue’s operations provides meaningful opportunities for members to use their expertise and become involved in this area. Taking action on climate change and sustainability provides a direct way for the congregation to make its vision and values matter. The experience of synagogues participating in the JGF demonstrates that greening is also good for the bottom line. Steps that congregations take to reduce energy consumption and waste also reduce expenses and free up funds for other, more important purposes. From the beginning, UJA-Federation of New York anticipated that the organizations participating in the JGF would be well positioned to provide leadership in mobilizing the wider Jewish community to practical responses to climate change and sustainability.

  • Silver Anniversary 25Th Annual Julian Y
    Silver Anniversary 25th Annual Julian Y. Bernstein Distinguished Service Awards Ceremony Thursday, June 4, 2020 12 Sivan 5780 Julian Y. Bernstein Julian Y. Bernstein, z”l was a well-known and admired leader in the Westchester Jewish community. Some of the organizations that benefited from his leadership were UJA-Federation of New York/Westchester and the Jewish Community Center of Harrison. Julian was also a long-serving Executive Committee member and board member of the Westchester Jewish Council. Julian believed that doing tzedakah was just as important as giving tzedakah. The Westchester Jewish Council Distinguished Service Awards, named in memory of Julian, is our recognition and appreciation of his visionary leadership, guidance, and friendship. It is the highest honor we can bestow on those with whom we celebrate this evening. The Westchester Jewish Council connects and safeguards Westchester’s Jewish communities and strengthens relationships among Jewish organizations and other ethnic and faith based groups, elected officials, Israel and the community at large. The Council provides a wide range of programming, services and resources to help strengthen our community. Through our Roundtables the Westchester Jewish Council brings professional and lay leaders together to share information, form friendships and strengthen communications and connections. Bonds are formed and best practices are shared on a variety of relevant topics and issues. The expanding list of roundtables, some of which are done in partnership with our member organizations, includes Synagogue Executive Directors, Synagogue Presidents, Agency Presidents, Government Relations, Youth Professionals and Volunteers, Marketing Professionals & Volunteers, Israel Volunteers, Interfaith Volunteers, Parents of Lone Soldiers, Security Volunteers and Liaisons, Mosaic/LGBTQ Inclusion, Jewish Continuity and more.

Dissertation Advisor: Michèle Lamont Author: Nina Gheihman Veganized: How Cultural Entrepreneurs Mainstreamed a Movement Abstract In the last few years, veganism transformed from a marginalized animal rights movement into a mainstream lifestyle. This shift occurred through the promotional work of change agents called cultural entrepreneurs. Drawing on over 150 interviews with these movement leaders, I describe three archetypes that emerged inductively from the analysis: Icons (image entrepreneurs), Informers (knowledge entrepreneurs), and Innovators (market entrepreneurs). Collectively, cultural entrepreneurs sacrifice ideological purity in pursuit of popularity. However, they are both enabled and constrained by the national contexts in which they are embedded. I compare the United States with two “shadow cases” that represent barriers to (France) and openings for (Israel) cultural diffusion.

  • Animal Morality: What It Means and Why It Matters
    The Journal of Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s10892-018-9275-3 Animal Morality: What It Means and Why It Matters Susana Monsó1 · Judith Benz‑Schwarzburg1 · Annika Bremhorst2,3 Received: 10 April 2018 / Accepted: 24 September 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract It has been argued that some animals are moral subjects, that is, beings who are capable of behaving on the basis of moral motivations (Rowlands 2011, 2012, 2017). In this paper, we do not challenge this claim. Instead, we presuppose its plausibility in order to explore what ethical consequences follow from it. Using the capabilities approach (Nussbaum 2004, 2007), we argue that beings who are moral subjects are entitled to enjoy positive opportunities for the fourishing of their moral capabili- ties, and that the thwarting of these capabilities entails a harm that cannot be fully explained in terms of hedonistic welfare. We explore the implications of this idea for the assessment of current practices involving animals. Keywords Nonhuman animals · Animal ethics · Animal morality · Moral emotions · Capabilities approach · Welfarism · Harm Introduction Rowlands (2011, 2012, 2017) has recently argued that some nonhuman animals (hereafter ‘animals’) may be moral creatures, understood as creatures who can behave on the basis of moral motivations. He has argued that, while animals prob- ably lack the sorts of concepts and metacognitive capacities necessary to be held morally responsible for their behaviour, this only excludes them from the possibility of counting as moral agents.
