The Field School

FIELDNOTES Autumn 2014

LETTER FROM DALE Our students are brave enough to handle dips in the road, and thoughtful enough to recognize and celebrate when the bravery of their classmates is on full display.

W

hat advice would you give to a student new to Field? As we began our 2014-15 school year, a randomly selected group of returning students was asked to respond to this question. Some gave practical advice: “go to pre-season sports because it’s a great way to meet other students and teachers” or “get involved in as many activities as possible.” But the most common refrain—heard again and again, from students of all ages—was “be yourself.”

In this issue of Field Notes, we observe the strength of Field’s culture—a culture that encourages students and faculty to be themselves at every moment of every day. In Rebels WITH a Cause, you’ll come to see how Field stresses the importance of each student finding their own voice in the world—using the power of their intellect to tear down barriers that perpetuate injustices, and build up ideas and a vision for a better community.

With Discovering the Spark, you’ll read about our efforts to seek and recruit extraordinary teachers—teachers who embrace Field’s distinctive approach to learning and come to school each day with fresh ideas and enthusiasm.

And finally, The Small School that Plays Big spotlights Field’s running program, which brought home our first ever PVAC banner 25 years ago. In those early years, there was such a great sense of pride that the little school on Wyoming Avenue—with no sports facilities of its own—could put together teams that could compete and win. We were out to prove that we could be serious and do the work required to be successful. We did, and still do.

In 2007, we defined among our core values ‘Field Celebrates Individuals’—and it’s the truth. Field is the ideal school to be an individual and to find one’s voice, because doing so requires practice—and practice implies there will be times when things fall far short of perfect. Our students are brave enough to handle dips in the road, and thoughtful enough to recognize and celebrate when the bravery of their classmates is on full display. It’s not uncommon for a brilliant failure to be exuberantly and genuinely

applauded by classmates and teachers—just because of the guts it took to try.

While there have always been, and will always be, individuals who achieve at the highest levels in athletics or academics, they are no more highly exalted in our community than the students who create incredible works of art, lead the effort to help restore a school in Anacostia, or guide our robotics team to the national competition in Iowa. Whether it’s students succeeding as individual leaders or coming together to compete successfully as teams, at the heart of The Field School is a philosophy—put into place by our founder, Elizabeth Ely, more than four decades ago—that celebrates and encourages every single member of our community.

This magazine arrives on your doorstep just days before we gather together to dedicated our new Meeting House to Elizabeth’s memory. As you turn each page, we hope you feel the warmth and the sense of community abiding in this new space—a space that allows everyone to come together, and for every individual to be his or her self. Please join us on Saturday, November 8th and help us celebrate this amazing tribute to Elizabeth and her legacy. I’ll see you there.

Dale Johnson, Head of School

SELF-DISCOVERY SKILLS OF MIND GENEROSITY OF HEART

ABOUT THE COVER On the first day of school, our community assembled to ring in the 2014-15 school year as we have for years: with an all-school assembly in the gym. When students arrived, we revealed a surprise—we would end the assembly in the new Elizabeth Meeting House. As we led students grade-by-grade into the new

space, the energy and enthusiasm was palpable. But nothing could surpass the excitement of our youngest students—the class of 2021—the first class at The Field School to live the entirety of their Field life on this completed campus. To finally see this amazing gathering place in action was a perfect way to begin the school year and this new chapter at The Field School.

A DREAM REALIZED THE ELIZABETH MEETING HOUSE & NEW SPACES ON CAMPUS After twelve years and numerous construction projects, our dream for a large space where the entire community can gather comfortably has been realized. The Elizabeth Meeting House—a tribute to our founder and consummate community-builder, Elizabeth Ely—is a beautiful, lightfilled space for classes, studying, and events, and it’s already become a favorite hangout spot for Field kids of all ages. And that’s just the interior! The Meeting House’s green roof is absolutely beautiful with green grass and comfy furniture.

It’s also the best spot on campus to watch a sports game!

The Meeting House isn’t the only new space. New, state-of-the-art science labs and classrooms pepper the campus, offering safe environments for students to exercise their minds; our new fitness room—nicknamed SAM, Strength and Movement—is a perfect place for students to exercise their body; and our new music room provides a large space for our musicians to play and record.

DISCOVERING THE SPARK FINDING AND NURTURING A MULTI-TALENTED AND VIBRANT FACULTY

N

ow in his sixth year of hiring at The Field School, Associate Head of School David Buffum is always searching for the perfect fit—those individuals who enjoy Pokémon as much as they do Chemistry; teachers as happy on the field as in the classroom.

“Since I arrived at Field 24 years ago as a new teacher, right out of college, I have always heard prospective Field parents question the apparent youth of our faculty— only to later rave about the outstanding and transformative impact Field’s faculty have had on their children.”

Dale Johnson, Head of School

Each year, Field receives between one- and two-thousand applications for general teaching positions. Of those thousands, 50 to 80 will spend an interview-light and observation-heavy day on campus, giving candidates a real opportunity to see Field classes in action and interact with Field kids. Field is a community with a wide variety of learners and our kids respond well to teachers who get their hands dirty every day of every week. It’s essential for potential teachers to decide for themselves if they love Field—if this unique environment is the right place for them.

A History of Hiring Beginner Teachers What sets Field apart when it comes to recruitment is the commitment to hiring beginner teachers.

These aren’t just teachers new to Field, but teachers new to teaching. A willingness to hire and train inexperienced teachers has truly been a pillar of Field’s success over four decades. It’s almost a part of the mission to provide beginning teachers with real responsibility and enough support to develop their teaching into a high-level craft.

Elizabeth Ely would always say, “I don’t have enough money to hire experienced teachers, but I can afford to hire new ones and provide them with the training they need to be successful.” Over time, Elizabeth entrusted the coordination and oversight of the recruitment process to others.

Robert Hoffman hired and trained a number

6 u FIELD N OTES t t

of new teachers in the early 1980s—including Mike Peterson, who was recruited while a senior at Williams College in 1981. Years later, Mike became Dean of Faculty and recruited Dale, and later, Carolyn Law. Carolyn succeeded Mike as Dean of Faculty in 2005 and led the recruitment and hiring efforts for a number of years.

Today, David Buffum steers the hiring ship; but all along the way, the Head of School—first Elizabeth and then Dale—has been a key part of the hiring practice, interviewing each and every candidate. It’s a highly collaborative effort.

Department Chairs are relied upon to determine that a candidate possesses a command of the subject, and David keeps his eye on their grasp of the mission and fit as a potential colleague.

“These things are very important to me too,” says Dale, “but with David and the Department Chairs on the case, I’m freed to focus even more on the personal qualities of the teacher—to get a sense of the depth of not only their intellect, but also their compassion, their character, and their potential to bring life and imagination to the classroom and the community.”

It may seem obvious, but there is no greater effect on school culture than the kinds of students and kinds of teachers that are brought into the community. The dedication to chasing the spark, finding the right fit, makes Field teachers exceptional.

w w w. f i e l d sc h o o l .o rg

“In hiring at The Field School, mastery of a subject is, of course, relevant—but to a point. What trumps that is the spark. We’re looking for someone who is going to be invested and engaged and get our kids excited about learning.”

Supporting Our Teachers The Field School expects the teachers—just as they expect the kids—to grow and learn by doing, and there is a strong structure in place to support that growth. Field has always had a new teacher

program, but it really took flight under former teacher Nate Edmunds, who reimagined and further developed the New Teacher Orientation program and a yearlong curriculum. Today our New Teacher Orientation Program lies in the capable hands of long-time teacher, Gil Gallagher.

MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY

F

ield makes a conscious effort to hire faculty of color—not to meet an arbitrary quota, but because the school is dedicated to creating a more multiculturally competent community. Each year, several faculty members attend the Carney Sandoe & Associate’s annual teacher recruitment

conference in Boston, the Nemnet diversity recruitment fair, and the Eastern Educational Resource Collaborative fair to meet candidates of color who would be a perfect fit for Field; candidates with the spark. In the past three years, over 50% of new faculty hires have been teachers of color.

For two weeks at the end of each summer, new teachers come to campus to absorb everything they can about Field before they’re thrown to the wolves—or, in this case, the students—on the first day. The first several days of orientation are very broad: who are ‘Field Kids’ and what makes them tick? What is Field’s mission and why is it challenging and wonderful? Then, new teachers are introduced to the people who will support them throughout the year—mentors, second-year teachers, co-teachers, and even office-mates.

This group of colleagues provides weekly—and sometimes daily—support and encouragement, offering advice about every aspect of teaching:

grading, one-on-one interactions, and classroom dynamics. They are an indispensable resource.

Co-teaching—or Team Teaching, as it is referred to at Field—is required for all new teachers. Team Teaching originated as a way to give new teachers a built-in support system in the classroom—a place where they can learn the curriculum, see a certain subject taught by a veteran teacher, and receive feedback. But it’s not all about the young teachers. In recent years, the Team Teaching model has evolved and an increasing number of veteran teachers have been paired together to explore the creative possibilities in the classroom. F

w w w. f i e l d sc h o o l .o rg

FRED AND SOPHIE

T

his year’s most dynamic duo is veteran teacher, Fred Tyner, and first-year teacher, Sophie Sommer. Fred and Sophie Team Teach statistics, a course designed and taught by Fred for the past eight years. For Sophie, as a new teacher, it’s a wonderful learning experience: “It’s great for me because I never took stats in High School. Over the past year I’ve worked for a company that did statistical analysis of clinical trials, so I’ve been exposed to the material but never learned it in a classroom setting. These concepts come very naturally to me, and I’m learning from Fred how to present them in an organized way for students.”

It’s easy to assume, with this sort of veterannew teacher pairing, that it’s the new teacher doing all of the learning—learning how to teach a new subject, learning about the school culture. But in this case, working with Sophie has been just as much a learning experience for Fred.

Fred has taught a bevy of courses: Science 9, Advanced Chemistry, Intro to Chemistry, Statistics, and Neurobiology. In all of his eleven

years at Field, he’s never taught an honors class—until now. At the beginning of the year, Sophie proposed a math theory honors course, Can we ever be certain?

Weighing the evidence, and Fred agreed to help, despite the fact that he’s never taught math. “Sophie knows a lot more about math than I do,” Fred explains. “I’d be terrified to stand in front of even an Algebra 1 class alone.” It’s the perfect Team Teaching model: two teachers, each with differing strengths and expertise, coming together to teach kids—and teach each other.

By actively seeking teachers with the spark, and then nurturing their growth—both at the start, and throughout their career—we build a faculty that is unique and engaging.

These teachers bring their varied experience and knowledge into the classroom, and we provide the kind of professional support that builds confidence and allows them to take risks and push their creative boundaries. The result is the kind of faculty that students love, that parents trust, and that alumni never forget.

“In a classroom with one teacher, there’s a limitation to what you can do—in the same way that a teacher with 35 students in a classroom can’t do the same things as a teacher with 11. It’s incredibly valuable for someone who has been teaching a class for a while to have another teacher come in with new ideas, new questions, and new perspectives.”

REBELS WITH A CAUSE FIELD’S STRONG STUDENT LEADERS, HARNESSING THE POWER OF THEIR COMMUNITY

R

ebel /n/: a person who rises in opposition against the establishment. Field students are redefining what it means to be a rebel: they’ve shattered the traditional educational mold that dictates that, in a school, it’s solely the teachers and staff—adults—who are responsible for creating opportunities

for fun activities, defining spaces for intellectual exercise, dealing with multicultural issues, or handling academic oversight. Picture a Field student and you may not immediately think, “rebel.” But maybe you should.

1 0 u FIELD N OTES t t

w w w. f i e l d sc h o o l .o rg

Field’s student leaders are everywhere. They’re striving to change the multicultural landscape of our school in groups like G.S.A (“Gender and Sexuality Alliance”) and A.W.A.R.E. (“Always Wanting Acknowledgment, Respect and Equality”). They’re helping fellow students succeed academically in Peer Tutoring and Honor Council.

They’re sharing their interests and having fun in clubs like Sabermetrics, Disney/Pixar, Tea Party (not a political group, but rather, a group that actually gathers together and drinks tea!) and Robotics. Nurtured by a school culture that values and respects student leaders—a culture that stresses the importance of each student finding their voice in the world and using the power of their intellect and character to bring their ideas to the forefront—Field kids have taken their education into their own, very capable, hands.

Multicultural Leaders Every day we take thoughtful and deliberate steps toward making Field a more multiculturally competent community—we organize faculty and student “Affinity Groups,” where those who identify as different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and more can come together to discuss their individual perspectives and experiences.

Faculty, staff and administrators participate in Multicultural Implementation Groups (“MIG”) that meet regularly to discuss issues of diversity in the classroom and the workplace. But our work would be impossible without the support and leadership of our students.

When thinking of multicultural work at Field, two student-run clubs immediately come to mind: A.W.A.R.E and G.S.A. This year, these two groups are led by a fearless bunch of seniors—Jack Tobe, Maya Nagan, and Claire Hunter for G.S.A, and Finnian Day, Connor Madan, Aaron Mermelstein, Saige Honig, Sierra Jones, and Sydney Klaiman for A.W.A.R.E. These leaders are the social conscience of the student body. They meet weekly outside of class to plan for upcoming meetings—to set goals, to research material, to prep. Like teachers, these students are expected to prepare for a 40-minute class, and to really own the content and the discussion. Together, they tackle tough issues with their peers—gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, ability, and more. These students do for their peers what the faculty

A utumn 2014

multicultural team—Anne Foley and Desmond Beach—do for our faculty and staff: they work to create a safe space where everyone has the confidence to be themselves.

The trust we place in these student leaders instills a self-assurance in them that allows them to become leaders around campus. They are student government executives, leaders of our Middle School Buddy program, leaders on their sports teams and within their peer groups. The kids who really care about the school feel just as passionate about our multicultural work as the faculty.

Supporting Each Other Academically Not only do Field’s student leaders strive to impact change to benefit their community, they are dedicated to helping each other succeed academically. No one knows Field teachers and classes better than students—they’re the experts!

We’ve tapped into that expertise and emerged with two student-driven groups dedicated to academic support and oversight: Honor Council and Peer Tutoring.

Honor Council is comprised of Field’s Academic Dean, Anne Foley, and a diverse group of juniors and seniors selected through an anonymous written application process. When cases of academic dishonesty arise, two students are chosen to serve on a panel along with Anne and the appropriate grade head. These gatherings are very student-centric. The student members of the Council ask the majority of the questions and, together with David Buffum, the panel works to determine the appropriate consequences.

The Honor Council follows what Anne refers to as a “Growth Model”: rather than a punitive committee that doles out harsh punishment to students accused of academic dishonesty, the Council works very hard to figure out why individual students may cheat and how to prevent it in the future. “Having students present throughout this process helps the student at fault to open up more,” explains Gideon Blum, class of 2015. “They’re more comfortable knowing that there are people their age who really care about what happens to them in the future and want to make sure they succeed.”

“I think it’s really important for the Council to be made up of people who are on the ground, who experience the ups and downs and the stresses of being a student.

As adults, we don’t know what it’s like to be a student— they do. And they take it very seriously.”

David Buffum

On the flip side of the academic support coin is Peer Tutoring. Twelve dedicated student

“There’s a real sense of trust—on both sides of the coin. We trust them to tackle these tough issues, and they trust that we’re here as their safety net, ready to catch them if they fall. But they never hesitate to walk that tightrope. They’re fearless.”

Desmond Beach, Multicultural Coordinator and co-faculty sponsor of A.W.A.R.E ]

leaders manage the day-to-day running of the Peer Tutoring Center—a strong and cohesive tutoring platform created by merging floundering programs like Math Squad, the Writing Center, and Language Lab. Together, these twelve students train, schedule and oversee daily tutors, spread the word about the center, and work with teachers to review specific assignments and create plans for helping individual students.

In addition to helping students succeed in their classes, peer tutors are becoming more selfaware as both learners and instructors. “They may know a subject intrinsically,” explains Laura Gill, faculty sponsor, “but they have to learn how to teach—and that’s hard. They are also placed in a position of unbelievable responsibility, and they learn to step up and become strong leaders.”

Rebels, Having Fun Not all student leadership at Field is causedriven or academic. Some of it is just plain fun.

Through our student-run activities program, students of all ages are given the opportunity to flourish as leaders by creating a club that reflects their interests. Maybe it’s Top Gear club, Seinfeld club, or Texas Hold ‘Em club.

No matter the activity, for a 40-minute block between Lunch and 5th period once a week, our students take the wheel, and drive their own experience.

Last year, the love of baseball thrust one of the youngest members of our Field community into a large leadership role. At the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, then-7th grader Adam Bressler proposed Sabermetrics—the empirical analysis of baseball. Sabermetrics met once a week all year long, and with help from his faculty advisor, Adam designed the curriculum and managed every aspect of the experience for students his own age and older.

In one Sabermetrics class, Adam split the middle school and high school students into teams and asked them to choose a team name, players, and even the food served at the

LEADERSHIP IN THE CLASSROOM

F

or some, leadership manifests itself as a strong expression of individuality—taking complete responsibility of your own schoolwork, studies, and actions. Our World Cultures class—new this year—nurtures this idea of individual leadership, challenging each student to choose their own topic of research for the year. These topics include the history of mythical sea creatures, Asian fairy tales, the consequences and decline of the United Fruit Company, traditions of Japanese food, and more!

“Activities are a hallmark of student leadership built into our curriculum.

These student leaders are supported to take risks in leadership that are unmatched in many other areas of our school’s programming.”

of the school’ or ‘the best of the best.’ It’s about students taking control of their experience, being a rebel. It’s about kids sharing knowledge with their peers. It’s about harnessing the power of community to impact change, about helping each other succeed academically, and about creating something out of nothing. It’s leadership— Field style. F

THE SMALL SCHOOL THAT PLAYS BIG BE TRUE. FLY HIGH. GO FIELD! “Field values sports because they provide another outlet for students to learn about themselves— they learn how to be part of a team, confront challenges and work towards goals.”

Bridget McKeogh, Athletic Director

hen you walk down the stairs into the gym, your eye immediately goes to the far wall where row upon row of PVAC championship banners are proudly displayed.

Fifty-nine flags, each representing an athletic program that challenges everyone to give it their all, and athletes who accept that challenge with sweat, with confidence, and with unbelievable generosity of heart.

At Field, everyone plays. This results in teams that run the whole gamut, from kids who compete at the highest levels to kids who, until Field, have never touched a ball or run a mile. But lack of experience doesn’t hold our student athletes back—they grab the ball, and run fearlessly into the fray. ‘Field Celebrates Individuals’—and yes, there are individuals at Field who have reached the highest levels in athletics. But these individuals are no more highly exalted in our community than any others. Our athletic successes are defined, not by the might of the individual, but by the strength of the team, the power of the whole.

Twenty-five Years and Still Running Strong

Wells Dwiggins-Thomason ’17 (left) and Sami King ’16 (right) are two strong leaders of our amazingly talented 2014 Cross Country team.

Last year marked twenty-five years since our Boys Track Team brought home our first PVAC Championship banner—and today, Field Running is still a force to be reckoned with. Since 2010, Field Running has brought home eight of the thirteen PVAC championship banners that adorn that far wall in the gym. Last year, they famously— well, famously around campus—dug a path in the snow to run in the dead of winter. They are intense, dedicated, and take running very seriously.

Here’s what Field Running coach, Jesse Gaylord, says about this small team that competes at a big level: “We don’t think that having a small pool and a wide range of abilities is a detriment to our ability to compete with the biggest private and public schools in the area—we think it’s an advantage.

We also believe in track and XC that ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.’

Even though some kids may go to Gonzaga and Visitation for sports, that doesn’t mean that they are training or racing to their potential. On our teams, we believe that if we get the best out of all of our runners, then we can be confident going against any team that can compete.”

As a result, we have won big public school invitationals—despite, in some cases, having 2000 fewer students to pull from. One of our relay teams was top 30 in the country in 2013 and Sami King ‘17 is one of the top 100 female distance runners in the country. In the past four years, we have never been ranked out of the top 5 in the city—amongst both public and private schools— in track and field.

he achievements of one team do not dilute the successes of another—and our athletics program is full of successes, both big and small. Here are a few highlights from our 2014 sports seasons: Fall 2014: This fall, 338 of 369 students are participating in the athletic program—that’s 92%!

• GIRLS VARSITY SOCCER • GIRLS JV SOCCER • BOYS VARISTY SOCCER • BOYS JV SOCCER • BOYS MS SOCCER • GIRLS MS SOCCER • BOYS/GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY • GIRLS VARSITY TENNIS • GIRLS JV TENNIS • GIRLS VARSITY VOLLEYBALL • GIRLS JV VOLLEYBALL • ULTIMATE FRISBEE PE • BASKETBALL PE • PE DANCE FITNESS

Spring 2014: After an exciting and hard-fought season—our Boys Varsity Tennis Team destroyed their opponents in four of five PVAC championship matches, bringing home another banner!

Our success lies in the fact that we believe everyone has a role on the team, that we meet our athletes where they are, and that we expect our kids to compete with the best. When our kids put on our jerseys with the Field “F” on the front, they believe that they can go toe-to-toe with anyone.” F

MEET A FEW OF OUR DONORS!

BRAD HOLMES & LORETTA POLK CURRENT FIELD PARENTS What makes the Annual Fund a priority for you?

The Annual Fund is a priority for our family because, quite simply, it enables Field to provide a truly unique, high quality education for its students.

What is one crucial Field moment that sticks out in your mind?

Seeing our son deliver an amazing lead performance in the high school musical—as a 9th grader—was a moment we will always cherish. Field gave him the opportunity to show his strengths—and shine.

THE LAST WORD

by Tait Colberg When alumni return to Field for a visit—whether they are graduates, parents, or former faculty—they sometimes ask me worriedly if Field has changed in their absence, fearing that it may have strayed from the mission and character they so loved as its facilities and population have grown. I usually reply, “No, Field is much more the same than different.” The Elizabeth Ely Meeting House is the strongest and most noticeable example today: it is so well integrated physically and philosophically that it does not raise the question, “Is this genuinely Field?” but “How did we ever get along without this?”

The need for such a gathering space has always been apparent. The Wyoming Avenue campus—two refurbished townhouses and the tiny carriage houses behind them—offered no place to gather the entire student body. For school-wide assemblies, we walked a few blocks to and from the Friends Meeting House or Our Lady Queen of Americas Parish. Even the informal gathering spaces within our buildings were small, with no more than half a dozen students clustered during breaks between classes.

As we planned and executed the move to Foxhall Road, we made deliberate decisions to retain the virtues of the Old Campus. We kept the original Cafritz house largely intact, maintaining its domestic interiors and even their names: the Living Room, the Dining Room, the Club Room (with its light-up dance floor). We wanted Field to continue feeling like home, albeit a more spacious one. The new buildings that we constructed on either side of the house likewise included eccentric classrooms and hangout spots to reduce any institutional feel. For the first time, we had a playing field, a theater, and a gym. Yet we still lacked a gathering space. We managed to hold ordinary assemblies and formal events like graduations and anniversary celebrations in the gym, but it was too large and too utilitarian to host non-athletic events comfortably. Erecting one more building that would contain a lecture hall with a stage and stadium seating—part of the original Foxhall plan—seemed too tacked-on and still inadequate.

The new Elizabeth Meeting House that we have begun to enjoy this year finally addresses the need for a school-wide gathering space, casual or formal, without compromising the principles and identity of Field’s past. The Meeting House easily accommodates a quick assembly of the entire student body for nuts-and-bolts announcements and creates a beautiful environment for more

structured events with guest speakers and visitors. The Meeting House is no lecture hall, however; there is no stage, no rows of hard, fixed chairs.

Students sit on the plush, modular furniture, the carpeted floor—or on each other, as Field students always have. The space is equally useful and pleasant as a lunch destination, an extra-classroom activity zone, and an all-weather throughway between the other buildings.

Leaning into a couch and gazing out one of the floor-to-ceiling windows at a game in progress on the field, the monuments of the National Mall studding the District’s skyline, and planes tilting their trajectories toward Reagan National Airport might provide the most leisurely justification for the great space. For all of these reasons, the Meeting House is naturally and heavily populated throughout the day: before school, between classes, and after.

The Meeting House easily accommodates a quick assembly of the entire student body for nuts-and-bolts announcements and creates a beautiful environment for more structured events with guest speakers and visitors.

Attaching the name of our founder, the brilliant, brave, and beloved Elizabeth Ely, to this structure is therefore a fitting tribute. I invite alumni of all sorts and eras to visit her and our Meeting House, as well as the other new spaces on campus, for confirmation that the best traditions of Field not only continue, but grow fuller and stronger.
