I anticipate the new level of professional gear will not only become a motivational tool for our students but will help them realize the full potential of their photography at this level. In terms of effectiveness on a departmental level, having a professional camera at school has become a life saver for me. I no longer feel obligated to bring my own professional gear back and forth from home risking damage in travel and taxing the gear for use in school. - Kari Giordano, Advanced Photography, Photo Journalism Grant Recipient 50 students were affected by this creative project. The dramatic impact of the music was effective, which led to a number of discussions by the choir of how the music influences the meaning of poetry. The students enjoyed working with a living composer, who gave them many of his ideas about the work, and what he was thinking of while creating it. - Christopher Clark, Mt. Everett High School Choral Commissioning Project Students are asked to identify three ways in which they can personally discourage and/or not encourage bullying behavior of themselves and others as well as three ways to support someone who lives with a disability. The students exceeded our expectations. 70% of the teachers completed evaluations. The ratings were based on the value of the workshop, skill of the presenters, curriculum and experiential exercises. We scored a 94% or 4.7 out of 5 with which we are very pleased. - Christine Singer - Empathy Awareness Mentoring Workshop Grant |
