Spaulding High School Students Receive<br />
Robert M. Burdett Memorial Award<br />
Spaulding High School has a unique award: the Robert M.<br />
Burdett Memorial Award. While serving as assistant principal<br />
and principal of Spaulding High School, the late Mr. Bob<br />
Burdett was the champion of the unsung heroes within the<br />
student body. He believed that this core of earnest, hardworking<br />
students formed the backbone of Spaulding High School,<br />
and that they would become, in time, the nucleus of their<br />
communities and of our country.<br />
To be eligible for this award, students must demonstrate, at<br />
all times and in all activities, consistent behaviors indicative<br />
of respect, accountability, and effort. <strong>The</strong>se students, who, by<br />
their regular attendance, friendly demeanor, cooperative<br />
behavior, and earnest desire to do their best, contribute to the<br />
positive atmosphere of the school. <strong>The</strong>y are then recognized<br />
at a quarterly Principal’s Breakfast.<br />
Spaulding High School is proud to announce that the following<br />
students are the recipients of the Robert Burdett Award<br />
for the first quarter of this year:<br />

Bryan Memorial Gallery, in<br />
cooperation with Goodspeed<br />
and Bach Travel, presents a day<br />
trip to the Peabody Essex<br />
Museum in Salem Massachusetts<br />
for a traveling exhibit of art,<br />
photographs and fashion by and<br />
about the legendary painter,<br />
Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 –<br />
1986) titled Georgia O’Keeffe:<br />
Art, Image, Style.<br />
Leaving from four locations<br />
in Vermont (Burlington,<br />
Jeffersonville, Montpelier, and White River Junction) on<br />
Tuesday, March 27, the bus will depart in the morning, with<br />
Bryan Gallery Executive Director Mickey Myers providing<br />
an orientation to O’Keeffe’s artwork on route. Upon arrival in<br />
Salem, Massachusetts, lunch will be served at the iconic<br />
Hawthorne Hotel, after which travelers will walk over to the<br />
Peabody Essex Museum.<br />
Private guides will lead the participants through the exhibition,<br />
the first exhibition to explore the art, image and personal<br />
style of one of America’s most iconic artists. O’Keeffe’s<br />
understated and carefully designed garments, many never<br />
before exhibited, are presented alongside photographs of her,<br />
and paintings by her, illuminating O’Keeffe’s unified modernist<br />
aesthetic and distinctive self-styling.<br />
For more than 70 years, O’Keeffe shaped her public persona,<br />
defied labels and carved out a truly progressive, independent<br />
life in order to create her art. Her aesthetic legacy<br />
— compact masses, organic silhouettes, minimal ornamentation,<br />
and restrained color palettes — continues to capture the<br />
popular imagination and inspire leading designers and tastemakers<br />
of our day. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, this<br />
multi-disciplinary exhibition is the first to focus on the relationship<br />
between O’Keeffe’s art and her personal style,<br />
including how she was captured on film by the outstanding<br />
photographers of her day (including Ansel Adams and<br />
O’Keeffe’s husband, Alfred Stiglitz.)<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be time to explore the exhibition after the tour,<br />
and to visit other parts of the museum, including the Peabody<br />
Essex Museum’s famed Chinese House: Yin Yu Tang. <strong>The</strong><br />
return trip to Vermont will have participants home in the evening.<br />
Goodspeed and Bach Trip Director Deb Flanders will manage<br />
the trip which includes entrance to the Peabody Essex<br />
Museum, lunch at historic Hawthorne Hotel: appetizer,<br />
entrée, dessert and coffee; private guided tour of the exhibition;<br />
ticket entrance to the entire museum; tour host and tour<br />
manager, luxury motor coach transportation with departures<br />
from Burlington and Jeffersonville; gratuity for bus driver and<br />
trip manager.<br />
For those interested in giving this trip as a gift, Bryan<br />
Memorial Gallery has specifically designed gift certificates<br />
available. To register, go on line to www.bryangallery.org/<br />
events by February 1. Bryan Memorial Gallery is at 180 Main<br />
Street, Jeffersonville, VT., 802-644-5100.<br />
Vermont State Board of Education Adopts<br />
Updated Technology Standards for Students<br />
At its November meeting, the Vermont State Board of<br />
Education unanimously adopted the International Standards<br />
for Technology Education (ISTE) Standards for student learning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> adoption of this framework is aligned with the state’s<br />
Education Quality Standards (EQS). <strong>The</strong>se standards outline<br />
what Vermont students should know and be able to do with<br />
respect to information technology, and will guide and inform<br />
the work of our schools as they prepare students for college<br />
and careers that have been dramatically transformed by information<br />
technology.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se new and updated ISTE standards replace outdated<br />
standards, and will help bring our education in line with innovations<br />
and best practice in use of information technologies in<br />
schools.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> State Board of Education has been updating our<br />
adopted standards to be more in line with the requirements of<br />
proficiency-based graduation,” said State Board of Education<br />
Chair Krista Huling. “<strong>The</strong> ISTE student standards will help<br />
assist all educators in the goal of how to deliver and assess<br />
progress through various academic areas. <strong>The</strong>se standards<br />
also strengthen Vermont’s commitment to citizenship in the<br />
digital age at a time when civic engagement at all levels are<br />
key to strengthening our democracy.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> ISTE Standards are in line with Vermont’s longstanding<br />
emphasis on not just learning skills, but preparing students<br />
to apply those skills in novel and purposeful ways.<br />
Vermont has long been committed to providing its students<br />
with the most current innovations in technology and practices<br />
regarding classroom and school level technology use.<br />
“In a 21st Century information economy, what will matter<br />
most is what students can do with what they know,” said<br />
Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe. In their emphasis<br />
on student-directed learning and student application of information<br />
technology skills, the new ISTE standards will support<br />
the efforts of educators to ensure learning is a student-driven<br />
• • •<br />
• • •<br />
process.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ISTE student standards focus on areas that will help<br />
prepare today’s learners for the evolving technological landscape<br />
including teaching digital citizenship, understanding<br />
how to be a computational thinker and using digital tools to<br />
collaborate with others locally and globally.<br />
Educators across the state understand how the broader concepts<br />
around the ISTE student technology standards can be<br />
taught in the classroom, as well as the real-world implications<br />
that help prepare students. For example, in light of the recent<br />
natural disasters and the refugee crisis, Brattleboro Area<br />
Middle School students worked with a local architecture and<br />
engineering firm on a project that challenged students to consider<br />
how they would design safe and sustainable shelters for<br />
displaced families to live. Students used the design thinking<br />
process to imagine, plan and create their projects to address<br />
issues such as flooding, access to safe drinking water, excessive<br />
heat and safety.<br />
“Our schools have been working hard to ensure all our<br />
students have access not just to technology, but to how technology<br />
is used in careers and post-secondary education.<br />
Success in the 21st Century will require our students to negotiate<br />
not just the physical world, but a digital world. <strong>The</strong> ISTE<br />
Standards provide a road map our educators can use to prepare<br />
our children for that world.” Secretary Holcombe said.<br />
“This is particularly important in some of our more rural<br />
areas, where the future of our communities may depend on<br />
digital access to support economic development.”<br />
Vermont is one of several states and school districts to formalize<br />
use of the ISTE Standards including the states of<br />
Connecticut and Texas, and Los Angeles Unified School<br />
District. Many others are currently working on adoption and<br />
are expected to endorse or adopt the ISTE Standards in the<br />
coming months.<br />
