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 />
