w w w. m o e l l e r.o rg Renowned education leader Dr. Willard Daggett has collaborated worldwide with principals and superintendents, leaders of national organizations (including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), state governors, and education ministers of several countries, working with them to move educational systems toward more rigorous and relevant skills and knowledge for all youth. Dr. Daggett is best known within these circles as the creator of the Rigor/Relevance Framework, a practical planning and instructional tool that helps determine Education exists in the largest how relevant courses are and how well they apply to real-world situations.

context of society. When society goes through a fundamental structural change, education, too, must change if it is to remain viable.

Two years ago we were privileged to have Dr. Daggett give our faculty an in-service on his framework, and this past October his center provided a follow-up session, with Jim Warford, another dynamic educational leader, speaking to our teachers. Both presenters reinforced the same message: The world in general – and America in particular – is being pushed by Willard Daggett, President, International fundamental changes caused by both globalization and technology. The Center for Leadership in Education implication for what students need to know and be able to perform is increasingly dramatic. Therefore, the new 3Rs of education – “rigor, relevance, and relationships” – is even more critical in preparing our students for success in a world marked by globalization, wars, economic crisis, and increasing technological demands.

features

As a Catholic school in the Marianist tradition, one of the key characteristics is educating for adaptation and change. Change is inevitable. All one has to do is look at the technological advances that have been made over the last 25 years. Many of us can remember the first mainframe computers that filled an entire room, requiring four technicians to operate by feeding punch card data. Today, microchip computers allow us to carry a much more powerful tool in our pockets! No doubt the changes our students will encounter will be even greater than the advances already occurring in the technology field today. It is therefore imperative that we provide them with a world-class education that prepares them for the issues of today – and the ability to adapt to the changes of tomorrow. Dr. Daggett’s Rigor/Relevance Framework is a key tool that will assist us in these efforts (see page 12).

Consistent with the Marianist Charism, we will continue to research and then implement the best practices that will allow our students to grow and thrive in every aspect of their lives – spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Toward that same end, last March our faculty and staff began a long-range strategic planning process, culminating in a day-and-a-half “Convocation” or community gathering in September. The Convocation included faculty, staff, administration, current and past parents, Advisory Board members, and various religious and civic leaders. Together we examined nine planning areas that will allow our school to continue to be a leader in Catholic education. The preliminary results of this process are chronicled in our cover feature (see page 8).

The ultimate purpose of this strategic planning process is to accomplish this vision: To become one of the top 10 Catholic high schools in the nation. The final goals that the Moeller Advisory Board will define in the upcoming months will serve as the catalyst to move us in this direction. Then, using the synergy of the entire Moeller community – including our alumni and friends – we will make that vision a reality!

JOURNAL FROM UGANDA: Educating Children, Building Schools, Saving Lives (See story on page 6.)

fromtheeditor UNIFAT: A story of hope, education, and love* This past June, math teacher Connie Ring, religion teacher Paul Kindt ’90, and alumnus Michael Zimmer ’67 took a group of students and parents to Northern Uganda to visit the school (UNIFAT) and people they’ve been passionately supporting for the past few years. Their trip is featured on pages 6-7, but there’s so much more to the story than what we can cover in two pages. For more about the trip, I encourage you to read Connie’s personal journal, visit Paul’s photo gallery, and watch the student-created movie, which are available on our website.** But for those of you unfamiliar with this story, I can offer you a brief glimpse of the chronology.

The spark that ignited the flame within Connie Ring began in the fall of 2005 during a Mayerson leadership conference. She and several students watched a video about the “invisible children” of Uganda. The film was created by three college students who stumbled across a humanitarian travesty in the northern part of that country. They discovered that children of all ages had to walk miles each night, fleeing their villages to larger cities to avoid abduction by a rebel militia known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The students filmed their plight and began a youth grassroots effort to highlight the tragedy of this nightly pilgrimage. They focused national attention on the massive kidnappings of these children and the horrors they had to face as “killers” for Joseph Kony, the militia’s rebel leader.

To date, more than 30,000 children have been kidnapped, and the civil war continues.

Touched by the Invisible Children movement, Connie and her students immediately got involved. They showed the film internally, raising funds to support the cause. Then they expanded their focus, getting other schools and students involved. We chronicled their passion, programs, and success in the spring/summer 2006 edition of Moeller Magazine, and an alumnus, Michael Zimmer ’67 contacted Connie.

He told her about his work with an elementary school in Northern Uganda called UNIFAT (Upper Nile Institute for Appropriate Technology). He and his wife Jill had been working with an amazing woman named Abitimo Odongkara, a 73-year-old educational leader who had singlehandedly developed this school in Gulu to save the city’s children and families – and I mean that literally.

Connie and her students knew immediately they wanted to help.

Along with Michael, they began a dynamic collaboration that has enveloped Moeller and 12 additional schools in a targeted effort to support Abitimo’s school. They renamed their organization, calling it Unified for UNIFAT. We featured the current results of that effort in our last edition of Moeller Magazine. But the bottom line is this: Connie and her army of supporters – including Moeller teachers, staff, and parents – raised $47,000 last year, and they are now supporting 120 students, which includes tuition, food, clothing, and health care. During her first trip to Uganda (and I assure you there will be many more), she and her crew were able to see the manifestation of their efforts. The vivid and intimate descriptions pouring from her journal describe it best. But this story is far from over. And I’ll keep you informed along the way.

As always, please keep in touch,

FALL/WINTER 2008

Moeller senior Derek Bresnen assists math teacher Bruce Nelson with a calculus experiment that closely resembles a famous one by Galileo. “While ours is electronic, Galileo had to use candles sticking up through a wooden ramp,” says Nelson. “Both Galileo’s and our experiment are investigating acceleration (how an object’s velocity is changing), specifically the force of gravity. What does calculus have to do with this? It is calculus that allows us to look at both the average velocity over a given period of time and the instantaneous velocity at any given moment in time. If we send our car down the ramp, we can easily calculate its average speed. But a more interesting question is, ‘What was its velocity at the 4th second or the 7th second as its speed was increasing due to the force of gravity?’ These and other questions/experiments led Newton and Leibnitz to independently develop a branch of mathematics to help answer them – calculus!”

Moeller Math Teacher Initiates Accessible Calculus Course MOELLER MATH TEACHER Bruce Nelson believes all students can learn – even if it’s calculus!

Beginning this fall, non-AP students have the opportunity to learn calculus at Moeller.

The course promises hands-on learning opportunities and an in-depth study of history (yes, history!) to give students a new

perspective of this seemingly esoteric study.

“Mathematics is often taught with a ‘mechanics’ perspective,” says Nelson. “In other words, here is how you do ‘this’ – and now here are 20 more problems like ‘this’ for you to do. It is all about the process, with no point of reference about where or why ‘this’ came to be the way

it is. Almost every subject, from literature to psychology to art, is taught historically. You learn from studying the great people who founded or advanced their subject. If you want to be a great writer you would study, say Shakespeare or Hemingway. In psychology you might study Freud or Jung. It seems though in mathematics we rarely do this. We rarely look at the works of those who advanced mathematics – how and why and what motivated them. So teaching mathematics from a historical perspective is about teaching our subject like other subjects are taught.”

“A course such as this encourages our students to appreciate the academic disciplines as interconnected and complimentary, as opposed to isolated in both comprehension and application," says Academic Dean Chris Wilke. "They learn that in reality, all subjects are connected – from math to history to English to science. Teaching calculus from a historical perspective also puts the subject in context and enables students to see more clearly the relationship between the past and present.”

Teaching modern calculus by studying the past also increases retention and has a greater overall impact on student learning, says Nelson. “Some (math) teachers do interject (historical) snippets during

their teaching, which certainly makes for a more interesting lecture, and studies show that giving students a point of reference increases retention,” he says. “Greater impact, however, may come from actually going back to the original document that was published (or its earliest translation) in order to truly give a student a deeper perspective.

To study those who had a tremendous impact on the formation of calculus, from Archimedes in about 250 B.C. to Newton and Leibnitz in 1700 A.D., is to gain insight and breadth of knowledge that can only be gained by studying the masters. It is like comparing a degree from technical school to a degree from a liberal arts college. They both may be able to do the job, but the bachelor of arts has a greater depth and understanding of the ‘big picture.’

Obviously, this needs to be combined with other teaching methods, such as hands-on experimentation, but it is the melding of all these into one class that will yield the greatest impact and depth of learning.”

“Even more, the beauty of this course is that it is accessible to most all students and not just those who pursue AP-level curricula,” says Dean Wilke. “I applaud Mr. Nelson and the Math Department for being so progressive.”

PHILANTHROPY. The very mention of the word elicits images of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the good work they are doing with a billion-dollar budget. Philanthropist. Now the image is a wealthy, middle- to late-age person, most likely a man! But the students at Moeller are breaking that paradigm.

Because of the generosity of a local philanthropist, the students are “giving away” $12,000 and learning firsthand the complete process of being a philanthropist. The Youth Philanthropy Council was the first of its kind at a Cincinnati area high school when it began just two years ago. Now there are more organizations of this type springing up in high schools and colleges throughout the greater Cincinnati area.

The Moeller Youth Philanthropy Council (MYPC) began in 2006 when a generous donor approached the Pastoral Ministry Department with an idea to truly engage the students in the philanthropy process. Moeller agreed and asked for student applications to form a council. Once the students were selected, they spent many hours learning about philanthropy with the assistance of Xavier University’s Dr. Gene Dupres. They also spoke with recipients of donations from charitable organizations, as well as local philanthropists, and with a representative from Impact 100- the local organization that makes a one-time donation once a year to a nonprofit in Cincinnati (most recently, two $111,000 donations).

The students learned that philanthropy is much more than just the giving of money. It involves establishing a process to solicit grant requests, learning about the organizations that are asking for financial assistance, and the actual decision-making process of awarding the money.

The criterion set forth was simple: the project must be led and executed by students at the schools, and it must benefit the community in a way that has not been implemented before. The councils have the flexibility to award the money to one project or to multiple projects.

After reviewing 16 grant proposals from their peers, the

council chose to fund 13.

One grant, Moeller Advocates for Life Without Limits, involved purchasing a computer and a Wii for the United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) agency in Cincinnati.

This enabled Moeller students to work with the agency’s clients at the Alfred J. Rendigs Center, helping them with online tools like Facebook so that the clients could connect with friends and family. In addition, the students played games on the Wii (a perfect tool for those with limited mobility) to encourage physical activity.

“It was a great privilege for us to have the opportunity to work with a team of young men committed to others in the Cincinnati community who are living with disabilities,” said Denise Durel, UCP’s development director. “We would like to commend Matt Almario for his leadership and insight in understanding our need, as well as his determination to see the project funded... The gift of creating a world of acceptance and understanding simply cannot be measured.”

MYPC members are already experiencing the many rewards that come with giving. Matt Almario ’09 said, “The (council) is such a great opportunity because it allows Moeller students like us to support groups and projects that are the most important to our classmates. In addition, it has… created a sense of responsibility to give back (now and in the future) to the communities who contributed to the person I am and will be.”

Election Offers ‘Teaching Moment’ REGARDLESS THE OUTCOME of the November election, the historic level of the presidential campaign this year provided lots of fodder for classroom discussion. Two teachers specifically took advantage of the “teaching moment”: English teacher Mike Moroski and religion teacher Anthony Corder.

Moroski had his students running a campaign, in conjunction with an argumentative essay in support of a candidate. Using a debate-style format, he then split the class into two teams. Each student wrote a five-paragraph essay, offering specific reasons for their support. Then they elected a campaign manager who compiled all the data from his team. Each side also elected a student to represent their candidate, who took the role seriously, wearing a coat and tie for his role in the debate.

Meanwhile, students on both sides collected election memorabilia – campaign posters, stickers, t-shirts – even Busken cookies. “It’s a neat assignment, and the boys really dig it,” said Moroski. “The neat thing is that the boys in my other classes also got into it and brought in their own campaign posters to support their brethren.

Fun stuff.”

New religion teacher Anthony Corder worked with his seniors on a unit called, “Justice and Peace: Faithful Citizenship.” He had his students read the US Catholic Bishop’s document, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.” Then the students researched issues and candidates in preparation for a group presentation. “Groups presented on a topic, like immigration or abortion, giving the background information, church teachings that address the issue, a current event that helped us to see the human face of the issue, and a comparison of the candidates' platform on the issue,” said Corder. “With several groups presenting, we had an opportunity to explore Catholic social teaching on a variety of issues and see where the candidates stood. Also reinforced was the Catholic teaching on political participation: ‘We are called to bring together our principles and our political choices, our values and our votes, to help build a better world’ (USCCB May 2008). With the election just after the conclusion of our unit, our month's faith formation was clearly relevant.”

MOELLER SENIOR EARNS YMCA CHARACTER AWARD: Moeller senior Michael Glaser, son of William and Paulette Glaser of West Chester, received the 2008 YMCA Character Award. He is a straight “A” student and a leader within Moeller’s House System. Michael swims year round on three different teams and is an active volunteer. A budding entrepreneur, he operates a landscaping business with his older brother. “We landscape and maintain approximately 20 yards within our neighborhood,” he explains. Another service he provides is free landscaping for his elderly or sick neighbors. In addition, Michael is an accomplished musician. “I have been taking piano lessons for almost 11 years and fill in occasionally as a sub at my mom’s music school,” he said. “I have been playing saxophone for almost nine years. Last year I was one of the first chair alto saxophone players in the Moeller Symphonic Winds.” Michael uses this gift to serve others by performing concerts for the retired residents of Chesterwood Village, playing the national anthem at swim meets, and teaching piano lessons to elementary students. “Service to others” has been a theme of Michael’s life, so it’s no surprise that this isn’t the first honor he has received. A few years ago he won “Outstanding Student of the Year” from the Kiwanis Club of Mason.

SENIOR MARK NUGENT was selected to attend the 2008 Leadership University in Washington, D.C., sponsored by LeadAmerica at Gallaudet University. “Leadership University” is a college-accredited, invitational leadership program for academically talented and promising young leaders from across the United States and around the world.

By Johanna Kremer

JOURNAL FROM UGANDA: Educating Children, Building Schools, Saving Lives SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 2008: At one point as we were walking to the new building, Abitimo said, "This is what you have done. You finished this building for the children. Because of this building, our class sizes will decrease, and we will hire more teachers. Those teachers will be paid, and they will in turn save more lives of the families. This is what you have done."

Quotes like these smacked the kids and me square between the eyes. This is what we have done.

We are educating children, providing income for construction workers and teachers, saving lives in Northern Uganda. This is what we have done. This is what we are doing…

Those are the words from the journal of math teacher Connie Ring. In June, she and religion teacher Paul Kindt ’90 and alumnus Michael Zimmer ’67 took four students and three parents to Northern Uganda for two weeks. Together they met the children and families and visited the school they have worked so passionately to help support for the past two years.

The journey in June was life-changing for all people involved. But for Connie, it was also the affirmation of what she has determined is part of her life mission: To support the Northern Ugandan children of Gulu and their school, UNIFAT. The trip to Uganda was the natural progression of an odyssey that began three years ago when Connie and several students attended a Mayerson leadership seminar. (See “Editor’s Note” on page 2 for more background

information.) It has since evolved to an organization known as Unified for UNIFAT (U4U), currently involving 13 public and private schools and countless students. Last year they raised $47,000, helping to fund a building that was desperately needed. The money also supported 120 students, paying their tuition, food, clothing, and health care. In addition, U4U sought grant money from Moeller’s new Youth Philanthropy Council (see MYPC, page 4), and they were able to provide much-needed mosquito nets to help prevent malaria and other diseases.

During the trip, Connie kept a daily journal, complete with pictures and reflections along the way. She intimately described the day’s events, the people she met, the culture she encountered, and her reflections along the way. “The audience for the journal was originally my husband,” she said.

“There is an Internet café in Gulu, so I would send him installments of the journal while I was there.

Weeks after returning home he told me that he would be glued to the computer every night reading it, laughing, crying… He said it made him understand on a deeper level why I’m so attached to Abitimo and the children in Northern Uganda. He suggested that I share it with my family and friends, and it just kind of mushroomed from there. We have actually received donations from journal readers as a result!

Who would have thought that?!”

Religion teacher Paul Kindt ’90 photographed the Ugandan trip in detail. “Winston Churchill called Uganda ‘the pearl of Africa,’ and I’m convinced that even the worst photographer can find beauty

there,” he said. “The students, the school, the teachers, the landscape – it seemed everything was photogenic.

Northern Uganda makes its own pictures. I just pushed a button on a camera...about three thousand times.”

Oh, and one more thing: The U4U students also produced a movie about UNIFAT. U4U’s Billy Yates ’08, currently a Miami University student majoring in photography, pursued another grant from Moeller’s YPC that enabled them to purchase HD video equipment to record their trip. “All video (of the trip) was shot by Billy and ’07 grad Will Tardio,” said Ring. “Hours of editing were completed by Will and senior Eric Werner.

Eric also narrated the film. I have never been involved in making a movie before, so I had no idea the time and detail involved. Will and Eric would work eight hours and have two minutes of completed film by the end. And neither of these guys have any experience – 6 • FALL/WINTER 2008

they are completely self taught! They never cease to amaze me! I couldn’t be more proud of the film and of the boys.”

They named their film “UNIFAT: A Story of Hope, Education, and Love.”

All three resources – the journal, the photo documentary, the movie – vividly narrate the story of UNIFAT, and they all are available on our website (see below). But this tale is far from over. Stay tuned for the sequel. There will be much more to come. * Connie’s personal journal, Paul’s photo gallery, and the student-created movie can be accessed at www.Moeller.org under the News & Events tab (select “Moeller Magazine”).

M

To become a top 10 high school in the nation in Catholic education, as

defined by the Acton Institute Catholic High School Honor Roll.* To accomplish this, the school embarked on a long-term strategic planning process last spring, using the synergy of the Moeller community to examine nine specific “planning” areas. The community involvement is a key component in this process, says Principal Blane Collison. “What’s unique about the Marianists** is that they are a community of equals,” he says. “Everyone’s opinions, ideas, and thoughts are of value to the whole community.”

The facilitator of this seven-month planning

In September, more than 100 members of the Moeller community joined in fellowship, convening for a day-and-a-half “Convocation” – a critical culminating event of the strategic planning process.

“The Convocation served as the mechanism to ensure that all stakeholders’ ideas and input were a part of this process to move us forward in achieving our vision,” said Collison.

The Marianists are members of the Society of Mary, which is a worldwide organization founded by the Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade. Moeller’s vision of education is grounded in Fr.

planning process, this is well underway.”

Using the power of community to help guide the way, the administration and Advisory Board invited constituents from all areas – faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and friends of Moeller. In September, more than 100 members of the Moeller community joined in fellowship, convening for a day-and-a-half “Convocation” – a critical culminating event of the strategic planning process.

“The Convocation served as the mechanism to ensure that all stakeholders’ ideas and input were a part of this process to move us forward in achieving our vision,” said Collison.

During the Convocation, all the prior months of research and evaluation undertaken by the nine planning areas solidified.

First, all members of each planning area voted on the main issue or top priority in their area.

Using these priorities and challenges as a guide, as well as the additional priorities each planning area developed, the administration and Advisory Board will now work with the Convocation community to formulate goals and timelines to chart the future of Moeller High School. “With the Advisory Board now established and

the governance structure firmly in place, it was the appropriate time to embark on this long-term planning process,” said Collison. “Over the next few months we will work together to create a comprehensive, five-year strategic plan, ensuring that every area and every goal is successfully addressed.”

“This long-range strategic plan has been quite an undertaking for Moeller,” said Donaldson. “Key aspects of the planning process have been successful because of the excellent input and school leadership. We feel it is important that the school celebrate the completion of this planning process. It is a wonderful achievement! There has been extensive input from many; key areas have been affirmed; and key areas are ready for implementation.

This is not a plan for a few. It is a vision for many.” M

Technology Pathway To ‘Rigor & Relevance’

English Department Chair Ken Keener leads his department’s discussion on effectively integrating technology.

Students learn how to repair laptops by assisting Moeller’s Help Desk.

Faculty discuss technology issues during Technology Forums.

12 • FALL/WINTER 2008

Moeller freshmen received a state-of-the-art laptop computer this year. It’s the IBM Lenovo tablet/ notebook series that offers a 12.1 inch flip screen with an X60 Wacom pen, enabling students to write directly onto the touch screen as if it were a regular notebook. This tablet is wireless, providing a wide range of freedom – students can use it almost anywhere.

Technology has been part of Moeller’s educational culture since the ‘80s, and the Moeller faculty is continually learning how to effectively integrate technology into the curriculum. Part of that integration includes working smarter, not harder, said Jim Warford at a recent teacher in-service. “The days of ‘drill and kill’ worksheets are over,” he said. “You know what I mean – the low-level knowledge dissemination that concluded with a test on Friday.”

Warford is from the International Center for Leadership in Education, and he spoke to the faculty about moving instruction from low-level to high-level knowledge – and from low-application to highapplication skills. This concept is embodied in the “Rigor/Relevance Framework,” a tool that provides educators with a way to help them evaluate how relevant their courses are and how much they apply to real-world situations. “Students today are ‘wired’ differently,” he said. “And I mean that literally.”

Warford then displayed comparative brain scans, showing visually the difference of today’s youth. He explained how this re-wiring requires a new approach to instruction. “The days of ‘sit down, shut up, and study’ won’t work today. This is why the new 3Rs (rigor, relevance, and relationships) are critical for 21st century learners.”

“The new 3Rs are not ‘new’ to our faculty,” says Principal Blane Collison. “Building effective relationships is part of our Marianist philosophy of ‘educating in the Family Spirit.’ Our House System is a concrete example of our commitment to that principle. As for ‘rigor and relevance,’ we continue to examine and revise our curriculum and teaching methods to ensure our students are receiving a world-class education. Technology is a critical tool we use that helps us deliver courses that are both academically challenging and relevant.”

Using Technology to Deliver ‘Rigor and Relevance’ “The goal of the Technology Department is simply to improve learning,” said Technology Director Jeff Gaier.

“Going to the tablet has expanded our opportunities.

(The teachers received new tablet computers last year.) Using this tool, we are working with the faculty in a variety of ways to change the way we teach that best addresses how kids today learn. The teachers are using the tablet to enhance ‘rigor and relevance’ in different ways, depending on their subject.”

While all teachers are using tablets as part of their educational “toolbox,” the following faculty members provided a glimpse of concrete examples of “R&R” in the classroom: Jim Bauer’s Information Systems Course: Now that the freshmen have new tablet computers, the course to teach them how to use this dynamic tool has evolved. The students are learning to use software that mirrors the business world and keeps them organized, a key to academic success. “One of the (academic) improvements is the exclusive use of Microsoft’s Office software OneNote and Outlook,” said Jim Bauer, Business Department Chair. “In demonstrating and modeling the advantages of note taking in OneNote and the efficiency of organizational skills found in Outlook, our students can begin building the foundation of organized discipline needed for success in our digital world. The tablet PCs have also allowed our students to be more creative and intuitive in their approach to academics by allowing them to write (and not type) their notes, projects, papers, etc., which is more natural than typing and more engaging than we have ever had in the past.”

Andy Pokupec’s Physical Education Courses: Obesity among children is a hot-button topic today, and Andy Pokupec’s PE classes are working to address it electronically through the use of heart monitors. “By using Polar E Series heart-rate monitors, students in my class are learning how to avoid the dangers of obesity and how to stay fit for a lifetime,” he said. “The technology allows my students to gain vital feedback about their own fitness and motivates them to improve. The really nice thing is that it challenges each student based on his present level of fitness.”

Dave Faller’s World War II Online Course: Social Studies Department Chair Dave Faller teaches an online Honors elective that enhances students’ understanding of war.

They read first-person accounts of WWII from multiple perspectives – American, Japanese, German, Russian, British, and French – then they answer reflective questions online, providing virtual classroom discussions. The course also includes a quarterly research paper, field trips, and hands-on experiences. “The course is a lot of work for the guys,” says Faller, “but a lot of fun, too.”

Alberto Delgado’s Spanish Courses: Spanish Teacher Alberto Delgado uses technology in several ways.

“I am using a voice recording system to improve the pronunciation of the basic grammar I am teaching now to freshmen,” he said. “During the next two quarters they will tape their conversations (two students having a dialogue) as part of their final exam.” Delgado also uses a website tutorial resource to enhance his students’ knowledge of the language.

Connie Ring’s Math Classes: The Math Department has harnessed the potential of technology to deliver “R&R” in a variety of ways. Several faculty members use “Cognitive Tutor,” software that functions like a personal tutor, providing immediate feedback to students, along with data that allows the teacher and student to focus on the user’s key learning challenges.

Math teacher Connie Ring uses a website called “Explore Learning” that creates computer simulations called “Gizmos” for math and science. “The kids use Gizmos in a variety of ways – to discover concepts, to review before a test, to take class material to a deeper level, to apply what they are learning to real life,” she explains.

“Brain research tells us that learning must be connected and relevant to be remembered,” emphasized Warford during his presentation to the faculty. Moeller teachers agree. And they are using the R&R framework to evaluate their curriculum – and the power of technology to change course, when needed. “It is said that the only constant is change,” says Bauer. “And Moeller not only reflects this through (the Marianist Characteristic of) ‘adaptation and change,’* Moeller leads this necessary attitude and skill.”

Jeff Gaier, Technology Director, updates faculty on new software.

Social Studies teacher Bob Tull incorporate technology seamlessly throughout his courses. Pictured left is a glimpse of one of his AP Government classes. Tull explained that previously his students watched a documentary at home using a resource from the library called “United Streaming.”

During the first 30 minutes, he discussed the video and assessed his students’ comprehension. Next, they took notes (on their laptops) from a PowerPoint presentation he gave on the Congress.

“The best part about our technology is tha the PowerPoint presentation can include graphics, maps, charts, or pictures,” he sai “It’s not just an electronic chalkboard.

For the last 30 minutes, his students used their laptops to work on a "How a Bill Becomes a Law" project. “Students are able to access websites and network resources that have replaced textbooks in AP Government,” he said. “The material is out there for free, and we are no longer spending tens of thousands of dollars on textbooks that quickly become outdated anyway.”

*Teaching for “adaptation and change” is one of the five Characteristics of a Marianist education. The other Characteristics include teaching for faith formation and for service, justice, and peace; providing a quality and integral education (meaning that Marianist educators use a holistic approach, engaging the mind, body, heart, and spirit); and teaching in the Family Spirit (a Marianist education emphasizes establishing meaningful relationships).

Moeller Honors Distinguished Alumni MOELLER ALUMNI AND PRINCIPAL Blane Collison honored five people who have made significant contributions to the growth of Moeller High School on Wednesday, November 12, at the annual Alumni Awards Dinner. The awards go to those who exemplify the Moeller Spirit.

Tyler Frankenberg ’08 Gold Shield Award: Presented to a graduating senior who through his academic achievements, co-curricular activities, and apostolic life best exemplifies the Moeller spirit.

Bob & Joan Maegly Brother Lawrence Eveslage Award: Presented to an individual who through years of tireless effort has made significant contributions to the growth of Moeller High School in the spirit of Moeller’s first principal, Bro. Lawrence Eveslage, SM.

Keith McCluskey ’78 & Joe Uecker ’73 Distinguished Alumni Award: Presented to an alumnus who has given outstanding service to his community and has distinguished himself as a Moeller alumnus.

Why I Give A strong moral foundation is vital to our burgeoning youth, and Moeller exemplifies the code of ethics and the role of religious faith that must be instilled in young men today.

For several years after graduation back in 1985, I helped make phone calls to alumni for the Annual Fund Drive. It was a time to reunite with classmates, share some free pizza, and give back to the institution that helped grow me into a man. I continued to give financial support for a few years, then like many others, I found myself caught up in career pursuits, moving across the country, and pursuing lifelong dreams.

To be honest, I haven't given back to Moeller in quite a long time. But that is changing this year – as I am once again reminded of the importance of the Catholic education that I was so fortunate to experience at Moeller. It continues to shape the very core of my thinking – especially in this tumultous political year. A stong moral foundation is vital to our burgeoning youth, and Moeller exemplifies the code of ethics and the role of religious faith that must be instilled upon young men today. It’s hard to say where I’d be without the continuing influence of the Moeller Family and the friendships that I made during my high school years.

It's time to step up again and answer the call to be a Crusader. Please join me by making a financial contribution to continue the teachings of the “tradition of excellence” that Moeller stands for. With your donation, you give a boy a chance to be “Man of Moeller” – and with a little luck and God willing, one day you may just call him President!

Moeller to Build Veterans Memorial Archbishop Moeller High School will honor graduates, faculty, staff, coaches, and friends of Moeller who have served honorably in the military services with a veterans memorial. The memorial will be located in the area of the flag poles at the main entrance of the school, a prominent spot fitting of the sacrifices made by those who have served our country. Target completion is summer of 2009 with a dedication in the fall.

The veterans memorial will consist of an engraved wall surrounded by personalized pavers. The wall will honor Moeller alumni who have served or are currently in the military and faculty and staff with military service and a minimum of four years service at Moeller. The pavers will be available for all individuals and businesses who wish to honor relatives and friends who have served honorably.

Pavers are $100 each, three for $250, or five for $400 (when purchased at the same time) and can be ordered online at www.Moeller.org.

Funds to build the memorial will be generated by selling pavers and from donations.

Donations can be made to the Moeller Veterans Memorial Fund at Moeller High School, 9001 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati 45242-0452.

Alumni and friends of Moeller who are in the contracting business and want to donate materials and/or labor should contact the school.

Moeller’s Main Event: More Than An Auction...

“At Moeller, we teach in the Family Spirit,” says Principal Blane Collison. “We work with our students to develop meaningful relationships. It’s part of what makes us unique. It’s a characteristic embedded in our vision of education – the vision the Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade articulated nearly 200 years ago.

“But we do more than just “teach in the Family Spirit” – we work to build a Family Spirit within the entire Moeller community, which is also a critical component of Fr. Chaminade’s vision.”

One important way Moeller builds Family Spirit is by engaging as many people as possible in the school’s annual Main Event. “The Main Event does this by working all year, bringing people together to support a common cause – our students – and connecting them under a common umbrella,” says Debbie Geiger, Main Event Director. “We really do provide a way for the Moeller Family to establish new relationships and to deepen ones they already have.”

“Through the Main Event, we not only come together for a fun-filled, action-packed night of adventure,” says Mary Fischer, a veteran Main Event volunteer, “but we also celebrate who we are, what we have accomplished, where we are going, and the enormous impact we have on the future of our Men of Moeller.”

Already, the Main Event has sponsored numerous gift gathering parties, offering an opportunity for parents, friends, and alumni to support the students, while spending an evening relaxing with a specific group or organization within the school.

Another way the Main Event brings the community together is through volunteer work. “It takes literally hundreds of volunteers to make this gala come alive,” says Fischer. “And by working side by side for a common cause, you feel the Family Spirit in action.”

Ultimately, the Main Event’s impact to the students is tangible and immediate. Last year the Main Event netted $263K, which benefited every Moeller student through the school’s student services programs and tuition assistance. The Fund-A-Need program alone raised $38,800 to purchase new student desks for every room.

“All students benefit from the proceeds of the Main Event,” says Geiger. “But also, all people benefit who participate in event. Which is why it’s more than just an auction – it’s a way to celebrate our Marianist spirit.”

Moeller’s Main Event Auction 2009: Save the Date!

The Moeller Men’s Club Wants You! THE MOELLER MEN'S CLUB (MMC) is a social organization made up of alumni, fathers of past and present students, teachers, and friends of Moeller High School. It is within this social atmosphere that we hope to promote the Moeller Family Spirit, the tradition of excellence the school has established, and its Marianist foundation.

As we look forward to celebrating Moeller’s 50th anniversary in 2010, the philosophy of the MMC remains the same: We want to conduct first class social events that appeal to a wide group of alumni, parents, and friends. The results of these events are donations back to various programs and functions, which result RYAN LUKENS ’04 makes his mark on Ohio State University football. in the betterment of the He was recently featured on the cover of OSU’s alumni magazine. school. Since its inception, Although Harvard offered him a wrestling scholarship, Lukens the MMC has given followed his dream to play for the Buckeyes as a walk-on player. more than $100,000 to the school, various programs, and affiliations of the school, including donations to the Capital Campaign, Kairos, Pastoral Ministry, a Marianist school in Africa, need-based scholarships, and direct tuition assistance.

When you compare the MMC, however, to similar organizations at Elder, St. X, and LaSalle, we definitely have room to grow. Each of these organizations donates more than $100,000 each year to their schools. To match these schools, we've set a goal to grow our participation to $100,000 annually by our 50th anniversary. With your help, it’s a goal we can achieve. Please consider volunteering for events that MMC sponsors. We need help planning, marketing, and running each event we sponsor. Upcoming events include the Sports Stag (winter '09), the Crusader Classic (spring '09), and the Jordan Bessey Flag Football Tournament (fall '09).

If you are interested in joining or volunteering at any MMC event, please contact the Development Office at Alumni@Moeller.org.
