Alan Shed/in Leads Faculty Workshop Alan Shedlin, Founding Director of the National Elementary School Center and Former Principal of the Ethical Culture School, Leads Workshop for Cardigan Faculty on Teacher Excellence During meetings held days before the opening of the 1993-94 school year, Cardigan faculty participated in a morning workshop lead by Alan Shedlin, a specialist in elementary school education with degr~es from Colgate and Columbia. Shedlin, a resident of Weston, Connecticut, is completing his doctoral work in educational administration at Fordham. The National Elementary School Center in New York City was founded in 1985 by Shedlin and an interdisciplinary group of educators and practitioners concerned with improving the quality of elementary schools. The Center identifies emerging educational and school related issues, develops initiatives, convenes conferences, designs programs, and creates materials to help professionals and the public address the needs of children. It is also a valued information source for families, media, and policy makers. In 1985, Shedlin wrote for Educa·tion Week calling for the formation of a national commission to study elementary education. Shortly afterward he was invited by then U.S. Education Secretary, William J. Bennet to serve as an advisor on just such a commission. Mr. Shedlin has written extensively on elementary education and child advocacy, and is in demand as a speaker by many groups around the country concerned with the optional development and learning of children. Alan Shedlin is no stranger to Cardigan. In fact, this visit was his fifth to Cardigan, one of his most recent being as Commencement speaker prior to Norrn Wakely' s retirement. Shedlin began the workshop with an overview of the state of childhood in the United States today, which he
indicated crossed all ethnic and class boundaries. He spoke of the pervasive social, economic, and political changes in the country which pose new realities for children and their families. For example, more than one third of all children under 18 are not living with both biological parents, thirty percent of all children are latchkey children, more than seventy percent of the teenagers have expetimented with drugs, and every day over 1800 teenagers drop out of high school. Shedlin commented that he does not like to use the phrase "children at risk/ because it implie_s these are . children from poor and disadvantaged families, when in fact, all children in the United States are at risk due to the extensive societal changes taking place. He used the term "affluenza" to refer to many children of the affluent who also suffer from absentee parents, the availability of drugs and so forth . Shedlin recognizes that schooling provides only one of the educational forces in most kids ' lives , and that there are other strong, often conflicting influences at work in society which mould childrens ' minds and behaviorthe media, peers, family , church and community organizations. He suggested that for many youngsters, schools may still be the most stabilizing force in their Ii ves . Certainly Cardigan, which provides a total educational experience because it is a

A Message From the Headmaster
Comments on Science and New Technologies in Education ... and for Cardigan Considerable attention in educa. tion cunentl y is focused on the teac hing of science and the use of new technologies , in part becau se there is a belief that American students are falling behind their peers in other countries , and will be unable to compete successfu lly in an increas-

ingly complex world. The study of science as an exploration of the material universe is being impacted by powerful new tools. These tools aid in the gathering, sifting, and analyzing of data so that we might better understand the nature of matter and the relationships of cause and effect, and so that we ultimately might find solutions to some of the problems which plague mankind and the planet earth. New technologies which have been developed over the past several decades have the potential to enhance the teaching and learning process . Consider that over70% of all students have access to a computer at home, at school orin their dormitory. Recognize too , that educational software is available that can help students visualize and analyze information as they graph data from experiments and lab reports . Electronic instructional media systems in science and math also include such marvels as video disc technology which allows students to have personal interaction with natural phenomena through the exploration of extreme weather conditions, physical and geological forces. Moreoverweare witnessing the increased use of graphing calculators which empower students to deal more easily with functions. In fact, recent national reports on school mathematics are recommending the incorporation of calculator and computertechnology into the study of mathematics.
The "knowledge explosion" since the second world war has made the technologies of information access, data manipulation, and analysis, not only an important teaching tool , but also necessary ones in the educational process . More and more schools today are using a variety of these new teaching tools to facilitate learning and augment the traditional information sources of books and audio visuals . Although the introduction of new technologies into science cunicula at the secondary and middle school level is relatively new , it is proceeding. Many educators are trying to define how these powerful new technologies will affect and perhaps change the nature of teaching and learning. They are asking such questions as: "Will the teachers of the future act more as motivators , facilitators, managers, and guides for their students?" and " Will students become more self-directed learners by being able to utilize the vast array of new technologies?". They are asking questions about how curriculums might be adapted to incorporate new ways oflearning made possible by these new tools . At Cardigan, the Trustee Committee on Education and Student Affairs has appointed a new Technology Committee to study and make recommendations about how Cardigan might best move forward with the use of new technologies in the educa-
tional program. Charles E . Hutchinson, Dean of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. and Cardigan board member, chairs thi s Committee which has been meeting regularly si nce September. Bob Small, Directory of Studies at Cardigan who aiso serves on the Technology Committee. stated in his preliminary comments to the Committee that "societal expectations today of how we prepare students fo r life-time experience, have led to the belief that old systems oflearning are no longer adequate", and that whether or not that premise is entirely justifiable, Cardigan teachers are aware that the new technologies can enhance the learning process for students at the middle school level. He also emphasized that technology should never be thought of as a "substitute for the human dynamics of teacher involvement", and that teacher and student training in the new technologies chosen as suitable aids for the Cardigan program would be imperative. I can only affinn that the faculty relationship and interaction with students at Cardigan remains one of om greatest strengths, and that the faculty wi ll be closely involved in determining in what way and to what degree we shall utilize new technologies to improve the educational progranrntCardigan. Ilook fmward to rep011ing to you later on the recommendations made by the Technology Committee to the Board ofTrnstees.

As a member of the new Iy formed Cardigan Technology Committee, Kris reflected the overall consensus of members that to assure excellence, Cardigan must define its general technology needs, including the particular needs for Library technologies, and prepare Cardigan students to meet computer literacy and technology challenges at their future schools. Kris stresses that "computers are tools to enlarge and enrich the learning process and are not meant to replace teachers who provide the necessary human exchange and guidance in the educational experience of students." When asked what she regards as most important to the educational process as it relates to the role of the library, Kris stated without hesitation that encouragement and development of a love of reading among students should be of first priority . She stated, "Reading develops (in students) a sense of wonder and imagination, it helps them learn the importance and power of language, and develops their ability to discern and organize their perceptions and thoughts; and out of this process they also develop their ability to communicate by spoken and written word."

Shedlin ... cont'd from p. 1 boarding school, has more opportunity to clarify the priorities and values for students and lessen the impact of the confusing array of pressures experienced by students, which can sometimes lead to negative consequences. Teachers, and excellence in teaching, Shedlin sees as key in affocting students, not only in their academic work, but in other aspects of learning as well. Students can and do observe in their teachers such qualities as compassion, dignity , and fairness, and learn from these exposures. Cardigan faculty were asked to identify from their own experience, the teacher that most affected them during their early educational years, and to isolate the enduring characteristics which made that teacher memorable. The faculty divided into 5 smaller groups to facilitate the process. Each group gathered a list of qualities which made teachers memorable for them. When the five groups reconvened to report on their findings , the qualities identified as most important in teachers included those also listed by 487 sixth graders in a survey conducted by Shedlin.
New Faces On Campus The Cardigan Community welcomes nine new faculty members this fall. G Jen Powell is originally from the Upper Valley region having grown up in neighboring New London, NH. He is a 1993 graduate of the University of Maine School of Law. He is also a

-- Respect for children: "A person who could talk to us like we were real people - who treated us like a person, not just like a child."
-- Wi llingness to listen: "She was really interested in what you said."
-- Sense of humor: "Somebody who thought it was okay to really laugh." -- Demanding expectations: "A person who wanted us to learn · for our good, not her good." -- Flexible firmness: "Somebody who knew when to be strict...only when it was really necessary. " -- Enthusiasm and resourcefulness: "Somebody who presented ordinary stuff in an interesting way." "She was able to get excited about what she taught ... " -- Cross-curricular teaching: "Somebody who helped us make connections between things we were learning." -- Making learning useful: "He helped us see why it was important to learn various things."
Cardigan faculty members listed other characteristics demonstrated by their favorite teachers which they felt were important in teaching today - a caring and nurturing style, honesty, generosity and kindness, fairness, consistency, and a positive approach. Because Cardigan faculty members deal with students not only during classroom hours, but also in the dormitory and on the playing fields, there is even greater opportunity to relate to students in meaningful ways in a broadened learning environment. The workshop ended with a short question and answer period. Faculty members left the session with a feeling of how important their work with children is both for the betterment and development of each individual child, and for the future of the nation. That future lies in the hands of today's children and the teachers who greatly influence them now.

The smile on his face told us he was glad to see us and had made the adjustment to the Cardigan family, the transition that all young boys must make that first year. We delivered a new word processor to him as his computerhadamajordiskfailure earlier in the week. We set it up and took the old equipment out to the car. We listened to Aris tell us how he does most assignments on the computer and is becoming proficient at typing. This is great. We then proceeded to the Headmaster's house for a meeting of the Parent's Council which we chaired. It was wonderful to talk with council members both old and new and share in their enthusiasm about what their sons are experiencing and in ideas they have for council activities.
We left our home on Cape Cod about 11 :00 a.m. and stopped briefly for chicken fajitas and coffee. Boston traffic was all jammed up so we took the alternate route, adding miles to our trip. 265 miles and four hours later we arrived Saturday - Day 2 at our hotel.

spoke to the faculty, and felt the Cardigan spirit, I wanted to become part of the school. As my son progressed from seventh to eighth grade and I witnessed his growth and development, I knew Cardigan was for me. When I received the call from Dr. Dewar, I felt this was a perfect match forme. Over the past couple years when I was involved with adult education for the towns of Kittery and Eliot, Mai ne, teaching middle aged women who were returning to work or were attempting to earn a G.E.D. (graduate eguivalency diploma), I became spoiled. From teaching adults who hung on my every word and thirsted for every bit of knowledge, to teaching a select group ofless motivated, less disciplined adolescent boys , was a bit of a culture shock. Also, things from my earlier teaching days have changed. The old filmstrip projector has been replaced by a high tech instrument which functions automatically. Yesterday, when I asked a boy why he had not handed in his homework he told me he had completed the assignment but that it was "locked in his computer" and he could "not get it to print." I then asked him why he just didn't take a pen and paper and write it out the "old" way. He looked at me as if I had just asked him for the moon . Things have changed!

Celebrating Education:
Jenging , but a good challenge." He recounts tales of the excitement of trap shooting, and rocks, ropes, and wilderness. This is our first experience with combining parenthood and boarding school. The level of caring exhibited by the staff and students impress us. Our son said it comes from living together, but we believe it's more than that. He lived with his brother and us, but there wasn't this level of dependency. At home, parents are in charge and too often responsible. At Cardigan students and staff depend on each other. This living together appears to bring out a quality of acceptance we have not seen before. As we toured the dorms and grounds on Parent's Weekend, we witnessed actions of kindness , respect, and appreciation. We saw young men relying on each other and that type of peer pressure brought out special qualities . If their room isn't clean, it is a concern for more than our son and his roommate. It affects his floor and his entire dorm. If a clean room is a legitimate challenge for a boy, it is in everyone's best interest to help him work through it. That doesn't mean cleaning it for him either; it means showing him how to work through that challenge. The clean room may be a small goal at C~rdigan, but we could see where that sense of responsibility for and to each other continued into many parts of their lives at Cardigan. In the month's ahead, this page will address the concerns of all Cardigan
parents. It will explore how we can continue to help our sons academically and personally, studies and opinions on single-sex schools, where our students go after Cardigan, and how well prepared they are for life here and beyond. We are like the new kids on the block. We don't quite fit in yet, but we felt welcome at the Parent's Social, at parent's meetings, at Headmaster Dewar's home and at Cardigan as a
whole. We hope we can positively contribute to the community and take from this experience new knowledge and new friends .
Perspectives of a first year parent When we sent our son to Cardigan Mountain School, located in the backdrop of New Hampshire's imposing countryside, we were hoping his future would be blessed with know ledge, challenge, accomplishment and happiness. From Cardigan Mountain we expect the best. We anticipate a program that celebrates who our son is and prepares him to be the best he can be. It is rewarding to see what people can do when given a chance. The benefits of education are highest when everyone is challenged. It is great preparation for the real world and we see tremendous potential in what Cardigan offers. Cardigan appears to pm.vide the consistent environment our son needs. He needs an environment that makes him accountable. This includes the gifts of time, patience and consistency that ensure he is participating in a world that defines his responsibility and provides rewards for positive efforts. We are lucky . Our son loves Cardigan. Beyond complaining that the muses of his life (young women are absent) he has not found fault with Cardigan. He says classes are "chal-

At least I think that is what you call it. We did manage t_o eliminate the candy from the list. I think the Canaan store must do a booming business on this weekend. We al ways look forward to chapel. Every time we go, we get a real sense of being a little closer to understanding our role as parents, like loving our children enough to let them go forward with their lives independently but with lots of support in all the right areas. Reverend Mahoney' s sermon always gives me something to contemplate on the ride home. We hope that your weekend with your sons was as rewarding and insightful as ours. It just keeps getting better.
capon ... cont'd from p.4 school mainly through visits to campus and through reports on my son, to being a teacher who is actively involved in the day to day life of the school, I have two words which for me sum up Cardigan--"kindness" and " supportiveness." The people at Cardigan have surrounded me with positive assistance and real caring. My son has been a great help too. Cardigan truly does what it says it does in the catalogue, not only for students, but for teachers as well--it is a supportive community. I have been asked many times, "how do you like it?" My reply is always the same, "I love it!" I wish all parents could go through one week of classes as a teacher so that they might experience the challenges, exhaustion, and happiness that teachers at Cardigan experience daily .

David Elliot '61 summed up the better part of the weekend best in one phrase after the Class of' 68 Softball Challenge, "I had the chance to go out there, and for a few short hours , be a kid again." The 1993 Fall Reunion witnessed one hundred pl us alumni , family, faculty , and friends enjoy a host of activities the weekend of October 1st. Friday evening started with a buffet dinner hosted by Dr. Cameron and Janet Dew ar at the Headmaster's Hou se. After the dinner and dessert, Dr. Dewar gave the alumni a private showing of the new Cardigan video which was produced by Courtney Galluzzo '71. The consensus of the group was the video was a first rate product. The guests were then entertained with the rare treat of watching a video of Bud E. Luv (aka Bob Vickers'68) . Bob ' s talentto lampoon the "lounge lizard" act amazed the viewers. Heis making quite a name for himself in the entertainment industry , appearing on shows such as NBC'sToday.

"It requires a concentration ofmuscle groupsfor sustained periods oftime," she continued, "and quick hands." Whatever the magic equation is, herson,John Torgerson '90, seems to have found the winning formula. This past May, while in his senior year at Avon Old Farms, John won the United States High School Single-handed Sailing Championship at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club in California. John captured the Cressy Trophy by taking first place in the Laser class event, earning him the title "National Champion". To win the event, John had to compete against the top forty finalists from around the nation in his respective class. I recently had the opportunity to visit with Mrs. Torgerson in Annapolis where she detailed some of John ' s sailing accomplishments.

Don't miss the action.
The Boston Chapter of the Cardigan Mountain Alumni Association will be host to this year's winter holiday weekend. The chapter will be sponsoring a host of winter activities which will include skiing at Loon Mountain and the 2nd annual Boston Bruins Alumni versus Cardigan Mountain Alumni Hockey game in Dartmouth's Thompson Arena. The dates have been set for Saturday February 12andSundayFebruary 13. The event is being sponsored in collaboration with Loon Mountain, New Hampshire Distributors, Lincoln Mill Associates, and Papa Gino's of West Lebanon. The Mill at Loon Mountain is holding a block of rooms in the Inn while Loon Mountain is offering tickets to Cardigan Alumni at a group rate. Loon Mountain and New Hampshire Distributors will be hosting
a reception in one of Loon's VIP rooms from 1-4 P.M. Saturday afternoon for those Bruins skiing with us and the Cardigan Alumni. Following the skiing, the Mill at Loon is hosting an evening reception at their mall for those Bruins and Alumni in attendance. On Sunday February 13, for those who do not elect to stay in Lincoln and ski, the Group will be moving down to Hanover where the Boston Bruins and

" John finds himself on the same team with several former competitors . "It is the first time I have ever sailed for a team. I like having other teammates to help me and to push me to be the best sailor I can possibly be." John is continuing to sail the Laser class at Old Dominion, but he adds that his coach would like him to move to the two handed FJ class or the five-man 124 Sloop class. When I asked John about his future goals he said he would like to compete in trials for the 1996 Olympics in Savannah. "There is only one slot for the Olympic team in the Laser class and about a million sailors who are good enough to make that one slot." John said. Ifhedoesn'tmakethe 1996Team, he hopes to gain the slot to compete at the games in Sydney in 2000. " I had the opportunity to visit Sydney while I was in New Zealand." John told me, "It is a real sailing town and I would love the opportunity to compete in the Olympics tnere ." When asked ifhe had any interest in the maxi-boats or the America' s Cup, John said that sooner or later he was going to have to earn a living and he would like it to be in the world of sailing. The crews of the large professiooal boats make a good wage and John said he would have to take any offer like that seriously. At present, however, he likes to compete in the Dingy class boats. 'Those big boats get to be a question of advanced technology and who can spend the most money. I do not thir)k that is really sailing and I am not a money sailor." John paused "I sail for my soul."
Cardigan Alumni will take to the ice on Dartmouth's Thompson Arena for the second year in a row . Following the game a reception will be held at Papa Gino's in West Lebanon. If you would like more details on the upcoming event, contact Chip Haskell in the Alumni Office at 603 .523.4321. If you are planning to stay in Lincoln, please call Chip quickly because rooms are limited.
C.M.S. Maintains Finnish Ties The strong connection between Cardigan Mountain School and Finland continues to flourish and this year has been no exception. Last year Cardigan Mountain School sent its first American exchange student to live and study in Finland. John D 'Entremont '94 has returned to C.M.S . after having spent close to twelve months abroad. The Cardigan campus is again host to another Finnish exchange student, Henri Tavanainen. The Finnish alumni gathered for a small event to send young Mr. Tavanainen off to Canaan. Those present were Pasi Koskinen, Kari Kon tu, J uha Hakala, Janne Lehtosalo, Hannu Lignell, Harri
Tavanainen, J ari Myllykoski, Jouko Jokinen, Vesa Suonpera, and Mika Suonpera. Mika Suonpera, correspondent for the group, sent Cardigan this update and says that they continue to gather for their "Sauna Night" two to three times a year, when the mandatory military service does not have the group ' s numbers busy. Mika is present! y working for Finlandia Junior Games as project chief. FinlandiaJu_n ior Games sponsors an international track meet for students between the ages of 9 and 16. This year it is celebrating its tenth anniversary and expects over 5,000 participants.

:::::::::ALUMNI NEWS CARDIGAN AT FENWAY: Boston Chapter hosts regional event On August 21st, the Boston Chapter of the Cardigan Mountain Alumni Association hosted a wonderful event that saw alumni family and friends enjoy a fabulous brunch and a sunny afternoon baseball game. Steve August'69, the traveling secretary for the Red Sox , in conjunction with Nate Pusey '75, Boston Chapter Chair, were instrumental in arranging the event. After having enjoyed a delicious meal served by the Club 600 staff, the group of forty moved down to the grandstand seats behind third base to watch Roger " The Rocket" Clemens wield his magical fastball against the Cleveland Indians. Unfortunately tpe Rocket left his potion at home that day . He got shelled the.first three innings and was quickly relieved to the sounds of a jeering home crowd, excluding the polite Cardigan community. Leighton D' Antoni '92 won the pool on the day's atteooance with the aid of his parents Richard and Maria. They accredited the winnings to Leighton 's statistical skills acquired in Coach Marrion' s math class. The D' Antoni's edged out a strong showing frorp The Pearson's (Jock '65, Barbara, Ginger, and John). Peter Albee '58 and his wife Patricia made the trip from their home in Sudbury. Patricia hosted
her own mini-event in the form of a roasted peanut contest. After much deliberation it was decided that the peanuts sold outside the park were comparable in taste but economically more frugal. A number of Hanover area alumni made the journey by way of a Cardigan school van. The travelers were entertained by faculty members Peter and Debi Trau and summer school faculty member Procter Smith who displayed their know ledge of useless baseball statistics.

Although raising money for Cardigan's Annual Fund is seen as the ultimate goal of these events, it is not the sole focus . Alumni participation, location of lost alums, and various other types of "friend raising" are seen as important additional reasons for hosting area phonathons. The two nights of calling generated$ l 1.695 in pledges from alumni, past and present parents and grandparents, and friends of the school. To date the alumni fund stands at $6,610 with 102 donors.
