A LETTER FROM OUR HEAD

dear friends, Near the end of our Senior Awards Assembly each June, Associate Head of School David Brown gives our newest Lion alumni a sage piece of career advice: Consider becoming a teacher. Like his predecessor John Holden did for decades before, David asks each senior class to think about the impact that St. Andrew’s teachers and staff members have had on their growth as people and learners, noting that educators never have to question the purpose of their work, or wonder whether they are making the world better each day. Like David, I am now in my 33rd year of teaching and leading schools, and I can vouch for the wisdom of his advice.

St. Andrew’s has grown dramatically in many areas over the past two decades: new buildings and fields, the size and diversity of our faculty and student body, the range and ambition of our athletic and artistic offerings, the innovation and expansion of our academic programs and student leadership opportunities. While we take pride in those accomplishments, the articles in this magazine demonstrate that our school’s greatest impact has been on teaching and learning, both within and far beyond St. Andrew’s.

Through its in-person and virtual programs, our Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning has trained thousands of teachers and administrators from hundreds of schools worldwide, and the scale of The CTTL’s impact on public and private education continues to grow. Growth-minded educators are increasingly drawn to St. Andrew’s culture of growth, collaboration, and research. Against a backdrop of growing teacher and leadership shortages nationwide, this ability to attract, develop, and retain committed educators is more crucial than ever.

Due to the inspiration and examples they have received from their St. Andrew’s teachers and staff, education is a leading career pathway for our Lion alumni after college. I hope you enjoy their stories in this magazine, particularly the growing number of younger alumni who have returned to St. Andrew’s as teachers and administrators in recent years. I feel tremendous pride and joy to welcome my former students back, and to see them grow, thrive, and serve St. Andrew’s as colleagues.

Thank you all for making St. Andrew’s a place of singular growth and myriad possibilities, and for keeping each of our Lions – young and old(er) alike – in your hearts.

Faithfully,

Robert Kosasky Head of School

TWENTY YEARS OF LEADERSHIP

BUILDING A LASTING LEGACY

With a growth mindset, Robert Kosasky has led St. Andrew’s to a golden age

BY RICHARD COCO

St. Andrew’s and its Board of Trustees have always risen to challenges and opportunities during the school’s 44-year history. From scraping together the rent for a church basement in 1978 to opening the doors of the Postoak Campus 20 years later, St. Andrew’s leaders have consistently asked how we can best know and inspire students, and how the school and its Lions will grow and thrive in future decades. On November 19, 2001, that desire to preserve the school’s warm and inclusive Episcopal spirit while continuing its remarkable growth led the St. Andrew’s Board to ask Robert Kosasky to become the School’s fourth Headmaster (a title that Robert and the Board changed in 2006 to Head of School).

Just 33 years old when hired, Robert had already put together a distinguished career. He began by teaching Middle and Upper School Latin, History, and English and coaching debate and multiple sports at Rockland Country Day School outside of New York City. By 25, he was Head of the Upper School there and later became Assistant Headmaster before moving to Friends Select School in Philadelphia in 10

SAES.ORG

Under Robert Kosasky’s 20 years of leadership, he has helped St. Andrew’s navigate a recession, a merger to expand to become a preschool through grade 12 school, given the green light on the creation of the CTTL, overseen new and improved facilities, navigated distance and hybrid learning, and helped build record enrollment.

1997. He was serving as Director of Upper School at Friends Select when he was asked to interview at St. Andrew’s.

“When Dr. Cantwell retired as Headmaster of St. Andrew’s, it presented the Board of Trustees with a particular challenge,” said Carter Keithley, who chaired the Board during the search process that landed on Robert. “Only three years before, the school had taken on significant debt to acquire a brand-new campus, and we needed a new Headmaster who could meet those challenges and still preserve the school’s very special character. After an exhaustive search across the entire nation, we selected three extremely well-qualified finalists. We met with each at length, and it was immediately apparent that Robert was the right person. Although he had not had prior experience as a headmaster, Robert had such wisdom and grace and energy and intelligence, we sensed at once that St. Andrew’s would not only survive and preserve its character under his leadership, it would thrive. We were right.”

Robert remembers “being inspired by St. Andrew’s founding story and its then-recent acquisition and creation of the Postoak Campus, which spoke to the school’s ambition, optimism, and adaptability. The school was solid and established yet still young enough to be formed over time; it combined a humility of spirit with an openness – even excitement – for growth and new ideas as it matured. I was so fortunate to find St. Andrew’s 20 years ago.”

After accepting the Board’s offer to join St. Andrew’s, Robert worked with Carter and incoming Chair Tim Matlack to create three multi-year goals before Robert began his headship in 2002. First, to nurture and

strengthen the faculty and staff. Second, to promote continued improvement in school programs and increase the broad diversity of the school community. Third, to establish strategies for enlarging the school’s endowment and other financial resources to secure the school’s future and fund strategic initiatives.

Robert vividly remembers those original goals, which continue to drive him today.

“After a decade focused on acquiring and building the Postoak Campus, the Board wanted to support and develop our current faculty and staff by increasing retention, investing in professional growth and leadership opportunities, and hiring top-caliber new colleagues when openings arose. The Board also recognized the educational imperative of increasing the economic and racial diversity of our school community, because broadly

diverse communities improve every student’s learning and growth. Finally, the school needed its new head to be a strong fundraiser and financial leader who could help build endowment and eventually new buildings, clearly communicating how increasing St. Andrew’s financial resources would benefit our faculty and students, preserve our mission, and secure our future.

St. Andrew’s has always had a compelling story to tell, and I’ve hugely enjoyed my role as narrator over the past 20 years.”

In line with those early goals, Robert focused on building relationships and trust with families, colleagues, and trustees, along with earlier generations of St. Andrew’s leaders and alumni. This work paved the way for the Touchstone Campaign (20042010), which built the school’s first sizable Continued on page 12

St. Andrew’s growth was catalyzed by the 2008 acquisition of St. Francis Episcopal Day School, which became St. Andrew’s Lower School and led in turn to the creation of the Intermediate School the following year. This transformative effort was partly a response to the shrinking number of “feeder” elementary schools and early signs of a softening admission market for independent schools locally and nationwide. However, Robert and other leaders also saw the long-term educational advantages of adding a Lower School.

in a more complete and profound way,” Robert said. “We could create a core of St. Andrew’s families who would grow up in, and contribute to, our community for decades. Equally importantly, we could create a faculty of experts in every stage of child and adolescent development. Those experts would make each other better educators, and by being able to enroll their own children in St. Andrew’s far earlier, they would be even more motivated to make the school their long-term home and invest their full talents here. Becoming a Preschool-Grade 12 school strengthened our resources, programs, culture, and pride.”

In 2021, St. Andrew’s graduated students from the school’s first-ever kindergarten class, and several students who first came to the School as two-year-old preschoolers will graduate in 2024.

“The merger of St. Andrew’s and St. Francis came at a time when the School was ready to grow and expand,” said Anne Wallace P ’04, ’05, ’08, ’12. Anne served on the Board for a dozen years, including four years as Chair of the Board. “Robert saw that need and was savvy enough to understand St. Andrew’s strengths and how to capitalize on that. Through the merger, St. Andrew’s was able to offer its excellent education to children at a younger age and build up the Middle and Upper School.”

In 2009 a leadership retreat of trustees, administrators and faculty, and other community members came together to brainstorm how to further distinguish St. Andrew’s in a crowded independent school marketplace. Robert remembers the group asking where the school could excel, and how best to support the pride and the faculty of the newly expanded,

two-campus school.

“I have always believed that faculty culture and quality shape students’ growth and well-being as well as a school’s longterm health,” Robert said. “In 2009 St. Andrew’s leaders believed we could become a destination school for cutting-edge teaching. That vision, so clearly grounded in our founding mission to develop each child’s potential, could in turn attract and inspire stellar faculty and families across both campuses and all 16 grade levels. In the face of the most challenging market independent schools had faced in two generations, we believed that St. Andrew’s could excel at faculty growth and research, and thus accelerate both student learning and the school’s future.”

The first step was committing to having 100% of faculty trained in the fundamentals of Mind, Brain, and Education Science, so that every St. Andrew’s teacher would understand how learning actually happens and adapt their pedagogy accordingly. With the support and advice of trustees and key

donors, in 2009 Robert and Dean of Studies Glenn Whitman forged the school’s first research-based partnerships with faculty from Johns Hopkins University and the local chapter of Teach For America.

This nexus of St. Andrew’s, university researchers, and public and private school teachers working together to improve education both within and beyond St. Andrew’s led to the creation of The Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning (CTTL) in 2011, with Glenn as its founding executive director.

As The CTTL grew into the leading school-based MBE research center in the country, it became the recognized bridge for connecting hundreds of schools and thousands of preschool through grade 12 educators with cutting-edge research into teaching and learning. The CTTL’s outsized public impact in the last decade has been matched by its transformative impact on research-informed teaching, learning, and achievement at St. Andrew’s.

In 2013, as St. Andrew’s and The CTTL’s reputation continued to grow, Robert received The Washington Post Educational Leadership Award. “Not bad for a little school that started in a church basement,” Robert wryly observed at the time.

Robert recalls with particular pride how The CTTL worked with individual researchers from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education in 2013 to demonstrate the strong correlations between student happiness, intrinsic motivation, and achievement at St. Andrew’s.

“I tell every prospective family that at St. Andrew’s happy students learn more, that feeling a deep sense of belonging in

your school leads to greater effort and greater success in the classroom, playing field, and beyond,” Robert said. “Our founders believed that 44 years ago, and now we have the data to prove it. That joy and belonging, along with the shared opportunity to grow, are also why my outstanding colleagues work so hard and love this school so much. That’s also why I care so much about preserving St. Andrew’s enduring warmth and welcoming Episcopal spirit.”

By 2015, St. Andrew’s had entered what Robert considers a “golden age” of the school. The size and diversity of our student body and faculty were increasing steadily, and athletics and the arts were enjoying new levels of growth and success.

Innovative new programs in design thinking, technology, and student wellness were complementing the school’s enduring strengths in writing, research, lab science, and service. And with a strong vision and

The Postoak Campus forever changed in May of 2015 when the school broke ground on the 43,000-square-foot Student Center and Izzo Quad, which were completed under budget and ahead of schedule in September 2016. Just two years later, St. Andrew’s campus began to grow again, this time with a new 31,000-squarefoot Lower School, built in just 13 months, replacing the former Intermediate School.

The following summer, despite the challenges of the pandemic, the school added a new parking deck, complete with adjacent event space and viewing areas for the fields below. Simultaneously, all of the athletic fields were renovated with new turf installed along with baseball and softball dugouts, and track facilities. During this five-year period, the school completed two successful capital campaigns, raising more than $20,000,000 to support campus improvements, CTTL initiatives, and the endowment. “​​The growth in the community’s gifts to the School’s endowment, Lions Fund, capital campaign and CTTL programs is a critical component in the School’s success over the past 20 years,” said Karen Smith P’17, who served six years on the Board, including several as Board Treasurer.

“Fundraising dollars provide more budget flexibility, allowing the School to invest in important areas that support its mission, such as student financial aid, faculty salaries and professional development. Additionally, the School’s fundraising success signals the strength and support of our school community to outside lenders and grantors, as evidenced by the creation of The CTTL, and the successful financing and completion of the Student Center, Lower School and parking deck construction projects.”

“True to our history, our leaders continue to turn crises and challenges into opportunities,” Robert reflected.

“Every building project required intricate financial and logistical planning, energetic philanthropy, and plenty of boldness and hope. Just as when the school needed to find a new home 30 years ago, our Board, administrators and faculty, and broader community have continued to step up, to believe in St. Andrew’s promise and possibilities, to imagine our future and then to make that future real.

“When I became Head of School twenty years ago, former trustee Terry Finn told me to treat the campus as sacred ground, 14

because its creation saved the school in the 1990s. I keep his note in my desk drawer, and in every stage of campus growth and design, we have kept that trust with our predecessors. We wanted our campus to feel like a small college, a light-filled home built around a central quad where Lions of all ages could gather and interact, and in which the buildings and surrounding land would convey a sense of welcome, connection, and beauty. That same optimism, preparation, and bold agility have carried our community through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic.

There’s nothing this school won’t do to realize the potential and support the wellbeing of our students and the adults who care for them.”

In June, the Board of Trustees announced that Robert had agreed to extend his headship through June 2028, when St. Andrew’s will celebrate its 50th anniversary, with more than half of those years taking place under Robert’s leadership.

“I am thrilled that Robert has agreed to extend his headship at St. Andrew’s through June 2028,” said Sheila Maith P ’12, ’20, who spent more than a decade as a St. Andrew’s parent and has served on the St. Andrew’s Board for eight years, including the past two as Chair of the Board. “Our ability to retain a leader with his experience and creativity is a wonderful statement about St. Andrew’s.

in which less than 5% of heads of school remain with their institutions for 20 years or more, Robert’s continued service is a strong statement about his partnership with the Board of Trustees, our senior administrators and our faculty and staff.

I look forward to the next seven years as Robert takes us to our 50th Anniversary.”

Tom Taylor ‘00 has served on the Alumni Council and is currently Vice Chair of the Board. He also has been an independent school educator for more than 15 years, including Upper School Head at two different schools. He saw the school

both before and after Robert’s leadership.

“It’s almost impossible to overstate how exciting St. Andrew’s growth over the past 20 years has been,” Tom said. “To be sure, the campus improvements, the addition of a Lower School, and the growth in enrollment are all concrete metrics that demonstrate the school’s success. What’s perhaps even more impressive, however, is that in those 20 years the school’s profile, both locally and nationally, has improved dramatically, while keeping the core of what we as alumni remember the same.

St. Andrew’s is now nationally recognized for its position as a school that is research informed in all it does, while also ensuring that each student within its walls is seen and known. As a fellow educator, I’ve never been more proud to call myself a St. Andrew’s alum than now!”

Staying true to the school’s mission has been critical as the school has expanded in grades and size. David Brown, who has been at St. Andrew’s since 1989 as a math and science teacher, master scheduler, Assistant Head of Upper School, Head of Upper School, and, since 2014, Associate Head of School, credits Robert with ensuring that happened.

“Prior to Robert’s leadership, we referenced our two paragraph philosophy statement to guide our growth and decision making,” said David, who is currently Acting Head of School during Robert’s four-month sabbatical. “Early in Robert’s tenure, he worked with a small group to distill those two paragraphs into our one-sentence mission statement. Among his many accomplishments, this has been fundamental to ensuring the direction of all future growth. Throughout the growth and expansion of the past 20 years, we have remained true to our mission by hiring faculty and staff who all have one thing in common - a love of working with children and seeing them grow and thrive.”

Even after 20 years of headship, Robert hasn’t run out of ideas or dreams for St. Andrew’s. He is excited about the faculty’s ongoing efforts to ensure that the school’s curriculum promotes

interdisciplinary learning and supports student belonging and well-being at every grade level. The school has also begun planning for its next rounds of campus improvements, including upgrading the energy efficiency of the main building, renovating the historic Kiplinger House, and restoring the adjacent Bruder Garden. And Robert spoke with particular passion about supporting the growth and leadership of his colleagues.

“The future of St. Andrew’s and other great schools will depend on the talent, culture, and long-term commitment of our faculty and staff. By its 50th anniversary St. Andrew’s should be the destination school for growth-minded, researchinformed, student-centered educators who reflect the diversity and life stories of our students.

Individual and collective growth is a core value of St. Andrew’s and has been crucial to the School’s success. Can St. Andrew’s continue to have the energy and imagination to grow without losing the warmth and inclusive Episcopal spirit it has worked so hard to preserve?

“Yes,” says Robert, “because that’s who we are as St. Andrew’s.”

RESEARCH-INFORMED TEACHING & LEARNING

TEN YEARS OF TRANSFORMATION With St. Andrew’s as the incubator, The CTTL innovates and inspires

BY KIRSTEN PETERSEN

In the past 10 years, The Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning (The CTTL) has impacted tens of thousands of educators around the world – from presenting to, working with, and training more than 10,000 teachers and school leaders, to disseminating the insights of teacher-researchers through four volumes of its internationally recognized publication “Think Differently and Deeply,” to engaging thousands online through the self-paced Neuroteach Global suite of micro-courses.

This impact is beyond what Glenn Whitman, The CTTL’s Executive Director, and Dr. Ian Kelleher, Dreyfuss Chair of Research, could have imagined when they began teaching strategies informed by Mind, Brain, and Education Science (MBE) research. What they could fathom — and what they made a reality — is a future where 100% of St. Andrew’s preschool through Grade 12 teachers could provide their students with the highest quality MBE research-informed teaching possible.

“The school has been the incubator for every new innovation that has then been shared with the global community,” Whitman said. “The chief beneficiaries, at the end of the day, are St. Andrew’s students, and students around the world 16

who have teachers who understand the research of how the brain learns, works, and thrives and can apply it to how they teach and how each of their students learn.”

FORMALIZING THE WORK A handshake agreement between Whitman and Head of School Robert Kosasky led to the creation of The CTTL in 2011. The decision was both missiondriven, to fulfill the school’s promise to know and inspire each child, and sustainability-driven, to help distinguish the School amongst its peers in an economy transformed by the Great Recession.

“There was this really brave moment where we said, ‘The way we’re going to secure the School and, more importantly, benefit our students, is, we’re going to own great teaching, and we’re going to do it through our understanding and implementation of research,’” Kosasky said. “We knew what a yawning gap there was between what researchers knew and thought would work, and what teachers were actually testing in the field. We also knew this was a way to bring in great faculty and appeal to people who really cared about the quality of teaching, and associate them, in their minds, with St. Andrew’s.”

The School began to lay the groundwork to fulfill this vision in 2007, when, thanks to early intellectual and philanthropic support from Doug Smith and Gabriela Smith, Founder and Executive Director of Crimsonbridge Foundation, St. Andrew’s first trained its entire faculty in the Teaching All Kinds of Minds neurodevelopmental framework. This framework provided faculty with a common language for working with students through an MBE lens.

The shift from training St. Andrew’s teachers to empowering them to train other teachers was ushered in by partnerships with Crimsonbridge and other Washington, D.C. region foundations, such as CityBridge and the Marriott Family Foundation, who helped St. Andrew’s to cultivate relationships with local public schools and Teach For America (D.C. Region) corps members. In addition, the Omidyar Group played a critical role in funding early CTTL

activities, such as “Think Differently and Deeply,” as well as the sustained training of St. Andrew’s faculty in MBE. These collaborations were key to The CTTL establishing an authentic public purpose, and for the Board of Trustees, led at the time by Anne Wallace, to see what a future Center could be for public, private, and charter school teachers and leaders.

“That’s when we realized we can leverage the internal talent and journey we were on to support St. Andrew’s teachers and educators around the world,” Whitman said.

When the Board of Trustees approved the creation of The CTTL, they gave Whitman four charges: The CTTL would make St. Andrew’s a laboratory for MBE research-informed teaching and learning excellence; it would lead and inspire research-informed practices and improved outcomes among a global network of like-minded schools; it would promote an institutional culture that attracts emotionally intelligent, highly motivated educators, and encourages faculty and student growth; and it would generate sustained philanthropic and programmatic revenue to support The CTTL’s current and future initiatives.

Ten years in, these core purposes hold

“The chief beneficiaries, at the end of the day, are St. Andrew’s students, and students around the world who have teachers who understand the research of how the brain learns, works, and thrives and can apply it to how they teach and how each of their students learn.”

PARTNERSHIPS, PUBLICATIONS, AND POSSIBILITIES One of Whitman’s first tasks to build The CTTL was to start closing the “yawning gap” between researchers and teachers.

Some of his first university connections would be The Center’s most significant: Dr. Mariale Hardiman of The Johns Hopkins University School of Education would help launch St. Andrew’s first research study in 2012, in which students in grades 2-8 contributed saliva samples and completed surveys to test the correlation between peer relationships, stress, and academic success.

In 2013, St. Andrew’s was the eighth school in the world to be invited to become part of the Research Schools International program, a collective of schools around the globe that conducts cutting-edge research, leads professional development, and disseminates research findings to the broader educational community alongside individual researchers at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education (HGSE). Intellectual and philanthropic support from Meg Guerin-Calvert and Preston Calvert P’ 04 made this collaboration with Dr. Kurt Fisher and Dr. Christina Hinton of HGSE possible. It led to exciting opportunities for St. Andrew’s 18

faculty and students, including a study published in 2015 that measured happiness, motivation, social relationships, and academic achievement among St. Andrew’s students in grades 4-12.

It was also critical early on to elevate the reputation of St. Andrew’s teachers as expert educators and teacher-researchers.

The vehicle for this would be the first volume of “Think Differently and Deeply,” which was published in 2012 and featured articles by faculty, coaches, and alumni on how they had applied MBE to their classrooms, sports practices, and life after high school. Since that first volume, more 20,000 copies of the four volumes of “Think Differently and Deeply,” which expanded to include student and parent authors, have been shared with educators and policymakers around the world as a model for school or district-wide MBE translation and integration.

Whitman and Dr. Kelleher began to see a niche that The CTTL could fill – taking insights from MBE researchers and sharing them with preschool through Grade 12 teachers as “next-day strategies” and pathways for professional growth, what The CTTL calls “translation” work.

In 2015, The CTTL got the backing it needed to make it happen – a $250,000 EE Ford Educational Leadership Grant, which helped launch the first Science of Teaching and School Leadership Academy in 2017.

Since then, through the annual summer Academies, The CTTL has supported

nearly 1,000 teachers and school leaders who work with more than 60,000 students.

Also in 2017, The CTTL established its largest public school partnership to date, with Frederick County Public Schools in Maryland. Meg Lee, Director of the FCPS Department of Organizational Development, said the district’s partnership with The CTTL, which has included enabling staff to attend the Academy, read Neuroteach, and enroll in “Neuroteach Global,” has been key to developing their staff’s expertise in evidence-based instructional practices, strategies, leadership skills, and professional learning.

“Mind, Brain, and Education Science is not an ‘initiative’ in our school district – it is the way we make research-informed decisions and progress on our systemic priorities,” Lee said. “Our partnership with The Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning has enhanced and accelerated our work in many ways over the last six years.”

In-person events were not the only tools The CTTL team leveraged to deliver translation work. Whitman and Dr. Kelleher co-authored “Neuroteach: Brain Science and The Future of Education,” published in 2016, inspiring schools across the country to begin their MBE journeys with a “Neuroteach” book study. And in 2018, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative approved a grant to help fund a Neuroteach Global pilot program, which would lead to the development of 12 online microcourses that cover learning environments, curriculum design, pedagogy and assessment, and student success and wellbeing. They would ultimately award The CTTL a $1 million grant to expand access to Neuroteach Global, joining the Omidyar Group in backing the project.

As the reach of the Center got bigger, the contributions of St. Andrew’s faculty deepened. St. Andrew’s teachers served as translation leaders at the Academy, guiding educators who teach the same subject or grade level on ways to apply the research to their classrooms. Leaders in Diversity, Equity and Belonging and Design Thinking at St. Andrew’s recognized the connection between MBE and those curricular and programmatic areas of the school.

And, when learners who are enrolled in Neuroteach Global complete a microcourse assignment, called a “mission,” it is St. Andrew’s teachers who are assessing and grading them.

IMPACT AT ST. ANDREW’S To date, 40% of current St. Andrew’s faculty members have led workshops, authored articles, or actively contributed to The CTTL’s body of work. English and Psychology Teacher Andrew Seidman said his work with The CTTL – as a beneficiary of professional development, an author for “Think Differently and Deeply,” and a mission grader for Neuroteach Global – has made him a radically different educator from when he first began teaching.

“The CTTL hasn’t just helped me reconceptualize my curriculum, it’s allowed me to really deeply consider the goals that I have for my students and, perhaps even more importantly, the strategies that I use to help them reach those goals,” Seidman said.

Christine Lewis taught kindergarten through fourth grade before transitioning to her role as The CTTL’s Lower School Research Lead. In addition to translating research for elementary educators, Lewis and her Lower School colleagues led the research and design for the new “MBE Strategies Roadmap” for elementary educators, which provides teachers with easy access to MBE-informed research supporting well-being, achievement, pedagogy, literacy, and numeracy.

“The greatest benefit has been just the underlying affirmation, year after year, that educators are learning scientists,” Lewis said of being part of The CTTL’s work.

For students at St. Andrew’s, The CTTL has influenced the entire day-to-day school experience, from informing the daily class schedule and start and stop times, to reimagining final exams to include time for deep reflection and feedback, to creating opportunities for students to work directly with The Center as Finn Family Student Research Fellows or Academy Interns.

Student Fellows have played an important role in affirming research-informed improvements at St. Andrew’s, including most recently the revised effort rubric.

Dr. Ian Kelleher, Dreyfuss Chair of Research, and Christine Lewis, Lower School Research Lead, lead a session at the 2019 Science of Teaching and School Leadership Academy, which draws hundreds of teachers and school leaders from across the world each summer.

​​What’s on the horizon for the next 10 years of The CTTL? The next frontier is creating resources designed for students.

Neuroteach Global Student, set to launch next year, will help students build academic confidence, resilience, and performance by helping them learn how their own brains work and how to apply that knowledge to their own learning. The value of this initiative was affirmed by an additional EE Ford Educational Leadership Grant, making St. Andrew’s the first school to ever receive two such grants from the Foundation.

“One of the EE Ford Foundation goals in our Educational Leadership Grant Program is to help catalyze programs that we believe have the promise to expand far beyond the school seeking our support. This has clearly been the case with CTTL,” said John Gulla, the Foundation’s Executive Director.

At the end of the day, students have always been, and will continue to be, the “why” for St. Andrew’s commitment to professional development.

“We know our students better because of our training. We inspire our students better

The student speed pitch sessions are a

highlight of the Academy. Students from

across the DMV present to teachers and school leaders how they learn best, and how teachers can help them be better students.

and we serve our teachers, and teachers around the world, better because of this work, because every day, in every classroom at St. Andrew’s and beyond, every student deserves a teacher who knows how their brain learns, works, and thrives” Whitman said.

HOW ST. ANDREW’S AND ITS ALUMNI ARE IMPACTING

EDUCATION

BY RICHARD COCO AND KIRSTEN PETERSEN

There is cause for celebration this year

at St. Andrew’s. After more than a year of

distance and hybrid learning, the Postoak Campus is again filled with the joyful

recognition for its commitment to Mind, Brain, and Education Science research-

informed teaching and learning (page 16).

This magazine honors how St. Andrew’s

energy of students as they learn and build

and The CTTL have impacted education,

and design labs, on the fields and stages,

what happens on our campus and in

connections together in their classrooms and everywhere in between.

Two landmark achievements in

St. Andrew’s history are celebrating

anniversaries in 2021. As you just read,

this year marks two decades since Robert

Kosasky was named Head of School, a hire that launched the School into a golden era of strategic growth and innovation

(page 10). This year also sees St. Andrew’s celebrating 10 years of The Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning —

the first-of-its-kind research center that,

through the work of our faculty and staff,

has catapulted the School to international

but the School’s contributions go beyond our classrooms. The most widespread, transformative impact St. Andrew’s

has on education is through its alumni

who have chosen to pursue careers as

teachers, administrators, professors, and professionals who support students and educators. In the following pages, you will learn about the scores of alumni

who answered John Holden’s Honors

Day Assembly call to “seriously consider

becoming a teacher” and are transforming the lives of young people around the

world and, for some, current students back home at St. Andrew’s.

ALUMNI AT ST. ANDREWS

ALUMNI WHO WORK AT ST. ANDREW’S

LIZ (REGAN) KIINGI ’87 Liz Kiingi is in her 15th year of teaching at St. Andrew’s, so it would be easy to think that teaching was always her career path. But Liz spent the first half of her professional life working in a variety of roles, most prominently international development.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emerson College, she spent a few years working on Capitol Hill as a liaison between Members of Congress and members of the press. During that time, she returned to school and earned a Masters of Arts from George Washington University in Public Policy and Women’s Studies. That’s when she knew she had to leave the D.C. area. She had always been fascinated by East Africa and chose to work with an organization called Visions in Action, which, unlike the Peace Corps, allowed you to pick the country you went to. She had planned to stay for a year, but that was before meeting her husband, Stephen.

The couple stayed in Uganda, with Liz going on to work for USAID where she was a project development officer, an acting supervisory program officer and finally a senior strategic planning and development officer. “I had been working at USAID at a pretty high position,” Liz said. “I was burning out a bit and my kids were young and my mother was missing them and I felt like it was time to come back.”

When she completed her undergraduate degree, Liz had thought about teaching, but wasn’t interested in pursuing a masters in education. Things were different in 2007. “I happened to look on the St. Andrew’s website and saw the job of English teacher and soccer and basketball coach and I thought, ‘This position was literally made for me,’ Liz said. “So I got in touch with (Assistant Head of School) John Holden and he contacted me right away.”

After a couple of years teaching at St. Andrew’s, Liz enrolled her sons, Baraka ’18, who was part of the founding fourth-grade class, and Kisa ’20, who began his time at St. Andrew’s on the Potomac Village campus. Liz holds a special place in St. Andrew’s history as an alumna who has been an employee, a parent, and now the parent of two alumni.

“What’s interesting and still holds true of the school is the accessibility of the teachers,” Liz said. “They were always

willing to meet and help students and they were fun. I think that having teachers that were accessible and seemed to engage with us was something I enjoyed. (Now) it’s not the same campus but it is the same feel.

There’s still the sense of community and the four pillars are still really much a part of the school’s identity. I love the focus on community service and diversity. I think the school embraced diversity in the 1980s but nothing like today. I think the focus on creating more diversity has been so great.”

SAMANTHA SPEIER ’95

HUSAM SHABAZZ ’15 Husam Shabazz earned a bachelor’s degree from Widener University and quickly went to work as a business development representative at Higher Logic, a computer software company working in cloud-based engagement platforms. When the opportunity presented itself to come to St. Andrew’s as a teaching assistant, he took it. This summer, he transitioned into the role of Admission Assistant as well as becoming a Middle School Advisor and the advisor for the Students of Color Association (SOCA). One of the things Husam finds unique about working at his alma mater is “the special feeling of having relationships with the same teachers I had as a boy, and how those relationships have improved for me now as a young man.”

Samantha Speier didn’t venture far from home for college, earning her undergraduate degree from George Washington University. She spent her first year out of college working at McLean School before returning to St. Andrew’s to teach sixth and eighth grade English and serve as a Middle School advisor. While teaching, she earned a master’s degree in school counseling from The Johns Hopkins University. In her more than 20 years at St. Andrew’s she has taught in both the Middle and Upper School, served as Director of Student Activities and an academic dean in both Upper and Middle School, and for the past eight years, served as Director of the Education Center. “Even as far back as being a bright-eyed five-year-old, I wanted to teach,” Samantha said. “I can vividly remember lining up all my stuffed animals and playing teacher. I bet a lot of young kids can say they played teacher with their toys at one point or another during their childhood, but my passion for teaching did not end in my youth. Throughout my life and for as long as I can remember, I have always answered the question, ‘What do you want to be?’ with a resounding ‘A Teacher!’

LAUREN (MELVIN) JOHNSON ’11 Lauren Johnson earned a B.A. in Psychology from Bryn Mawr College and shortly thereafter returned to St. Andrew’s in the Admission Office. She spent four years working to bring new students into St. Andrew’s before leaving for a year to become the Director of Admissions at Hyde Park Day School in Chicago.

She returned to the Postoak Campus this summer to take over as Upper School Dean of Students and the academic dean for the Class of 2025. “I most enjoy being at a school that gave me opportunities to grow, where now I am able to provide help and guidance to our current student body,” Lauren said. “I have an understanding of the school that allows me to give back in a much more meaningful manner.”

MARI (PALMER) MCDONALD ’95 Mari McDonald is currently in her second year as Director of the Lions Fund at St. Andrew’s. The 1995 graduate previously worked in the advancement offices at both Madeira and The Lab School of Washington, and in the Middle School at Holton-Arms. She served on the Board of Children’s National Hospital Foundation, and has served on the Board of Trustees at Sheridan School for the past nine years. Before working and serving throughout the D.C. region, she spent time abroad at Queen’s University Belfast, had a one-year internship with Street Law, Inc. working on human rights education, and spent a semester in Baja Mexico becoming a Wilderness First Responder through the National Outdoor Leadership School. “What I find most enjoyable about working here is becoming colleagues with the folks that helped to shape my moral compass,” Mari said. “Giving back to the community that gave me grounding, direction, and love.”

JORDAN REILLY ’15 Jordan Reilly earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began. When St. Andrew’s needed teacher’s aides to assist in the classroom, she stepped into the role, working with fifth-grade students during the 2020-2021 school year. This year, she is in the permanent position of associate teacher, working with students in K-5. “I love when students tell me that they love school or that they’re so happy they came to St. Andrew’s,” Jordan said. “I’ve been a part of this community since I was 12, and I’m glad that I now have an impact on how our younger students experience this school and this family. It’s exciting to see how the school is evolving and growing, both physically and culturally. I feel at home on this campus, yet I feel challenged and pushed to constantly learn and grow.”

JARENA HARMON ’15 Jarena Harmon was one of the most decorated athletes in school history when she left to attend college on a soccer scholarship. She began her career at Pitt before transferring and finishing at the University of Maryland, where she had an internship after graduating. That’s when she began coaching at St. Andrew’s, working with soccer and track athletes, and also assisting with Summer Programs. In the summer of 2020, she took over as the Upper School Administrative Assistant.

“One of the most enjoyable things about working here is getting to watch the student body grow and develop,” Jarena said. “I enjoy having the opportunity to talk to students about the progress and changes that have been made to the curriculum since I went to St. Andrew’s and how the school can continue to grow into a more inclusive environment.”

LIZ NAAB ’15 Liz Naab has stayed close to home since graduating from St. Andrew’s.

She earned her bachelor’s degree from The Catholic University of America and spent time working in social media and marketing for a local construction firm. When the pandemic hit, she transitioned to working as a teaching assistant at St. Andrew’s before becoming her alma mater’s Director of Alumni Relations and helping coach JV volleyball. “It’s so rewarding to have come full circle and remain an active member of a community that has been so warm and welcoming to my entire family,” said Liz, who is one of four Naabs to graduate from St. Andrew’s over the past decade. “I enjoy working alongside the faculty and staff who taught and mentored me. Their compassion and dedication to their current and former students are inspiring.”

DREW SINGLETON ’14 Drew Singleton earned an undergraduate degree in education and teaching from Ohio Wesleyan University but didn’t wait until graduating to start making an impact on young students. He was a teacher’s aide while in college and served as a reading tutor for fourth graders. He did his student teaching in Chicago before returning to the D.C. area and working at Holy Trinity and Sandy Spring Friends School before finally returning to St. Andrew’s, where he currently teaches Middle School Humanities to sixth graders.

“I pursued a career in education because I've always loved working with kids, but also because, in my own personal educational journey, I only had one black, male teacher from Pre-K to senior year of college,” Drew said. “I felt that it was important for all students, but especially students of color, to see a black man in my role. I learned what it meant to be a great educator because of all of the incredible teachers I had at St. Andrew’s. I learned about the importance of relationships and knowing students as people first, which has helped my teaching immensely. I wouldn't be the teacher I am today without St. Andrew’s, so I’m extremely happy to be part of the community again.”

ALUMNI WHO WORK IN K-12 SCHOOLS EDIE (SYMONS) STANTON ‘91 AND CARA (SKUBEL) HOADLEY ’05 Edie Stanton has been an elementary educator for 22 years, teaching fifth grade, third grade, and second grade, and is now a math specialist. Cara Hoadley is in her eighth year teaching and currently works with third graders.

The pair have found themselves colleagues at Lafayette Elementary School in Northwest Washington, D.C. Inspired by her teachers at St. Andrew’s, Edie attended Guilford College and double majored in Education and Sociology with a minor in Art. Before Lafayette, Edie taught at schools in North Carolina and California. As an educator, Edie strives to be “as passionate as Mr. Rogers, kind as Ms. Goodrich, have high expectations like Ms. Weingarten, and be as knowledgeable as Mrs. Walsh.”

Cara earned an undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University and began tutoring elementary school students in her free time. When she realized that time was the highlight of her week, she decided to become a teacher. She spent a year teaching in the Dominican Republic before returning to earn a masters in Elementary Education from George Washington University. “I love working with kids, especially third graders,” Cara said. “It is the perfect age. They are responsible, independent, and so excited about learning. I love making connections with my students and every day, I leave with a feeling of accomplishment and joy.”

MARYANN (MEENAN) HEIM ‘95 At a young age, Maryann Heim realized what a difference a teacher can make in a child’s life and entered the profession with the hope of having a positive impact on students’ lives. Now the parent of a St. Andrew’s tenthgrader, she has spent the last twentythree years working at Beauvoir, The National Cathedral Elementary School.

During her time working there she has been fortunate enough to have many professional opportunities-- teaching in pre-kindergarten, first grade and third grade as well as working in the admissions, development and technology offices. Her most recent work has been focused on the math curriculum and supporting students on their mathematical endeavors in the role as a math specialist. Throughout her career, she has learned something very valuable- – students can also have a positive influence on their teachers. She says there is no better feeling than the one you get as you watch a child work on something, possibly even struggling at times, and then, with perseverance and patience, they accomplish their goal. The joy that then comes over that child’s face with the realization that they can now do (or understand) something they could not before is the gift that comes with teaching.

MAY WALLACE ‘17 May Wallace is teaching pre-K at Stults Road Elementary School in Dallas, Texas as a Teach For America corps member. “I joined TFA because I love working with children, and I want to make an impact in their lives, just as my teachers did for me,” May said. “I want to be that person who my students can look up to and feel safe with. Every single child deserves to be seen, heard, loved, and supported, and I want to be part of their journey.”

As a student at Santa Clara University, May volunteered at the Chandler Tripp School on a weekly basis to assist teachers and staff as they supported students with disabilities and learning differences.

LIZ (THORNTON) BOWLING ’88 Liz Bowling has been teaching for quite a while – a quarter century now.

An Upper School Spanish teacher at Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia, Bowling is also a department chair, student advisor, and member of the school’s JK-12 inclusion team. She went into teaching after earning a B.A. from Colby College and a M.Ed. from Longwood College.

DELONTE EGWUATU ’12 Delonte Egwuatu began teaching almost as soon as he graduated from Morehouse College. After a year as an associate teacher at Beauvoir, he came to St. Andrew’s where he taught both Lower and Middle School students and coached tennis. In 2020, he left to become the Assistant Director of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, and teach Upper School Spanish, at Pennington School in New Jersey. He also helped found the St. Andrew’s Black Alumni Collective in June 2020.

CARRIE MASLOW ’88 Carrie Maslow has taught a variety of subjects to high school students over the past two decades after earning an undergraduate degree from Brown and a masters from UC Berkeley. She has taught at a number of schools but is currently in the San Francisco Bay Area at Lick-Wilmerding High School where she teaches Anatomy and Physiology and a course called the Compassion Course which includes both psychology and neuroscience. Her original interest in science was inspired by former St. Andrew’s educator Gabe Hodziewich, who taught her in seventh, ninth, and twelfth grade. “I taught at a camp for emotionally disturbed children in upstate New York for many summers and that experience inspired me to pursue a career in teaching,” Carrie said. “I have stayed in education because the students are extraordinary and I love to collaborate with my colleagues. I can't imagine a more rewarding profession.”

KRISTIE (KIRKPATRICK) CHAPMAN ‘87 Kristie Chapman attended Stetson University to study elementary education and graduated a semester early, allowing her to start teaching immediately as a substitute at schools in Jupiter, Florida.

She just completed her 30th year of teaching at Lighthouse Elementary School, where she has taught third grade, kindergarten, and now first grade.

Her students motivate her to continue teaching, especially when she witnessed their resiliency and willingness to rise to the occasion during the pandemic. “It is a wonderful job because every year is different, “ Kristie said. “New students bring new challenges and rewards.”

CARA BORRELLI ’08 Cara Borrelli attended Franklin & Marshall College where she got a B.A. in Psychology before adding a Masters in Elementary Education and Teaching from American University. She stayed in the Washington, D.C. area where she now is in her fifth year as a first-grade teacher at North Springfield Elementary School in Fairfax County. “Pursuing a career in education was not my first career choice,” Cara said. “I knew I always wanted to work with and help children, I just didn’t know how. In college I completed a variety of internships that focused on children (social work, child life specialist, student teacher, etc.). After these internships, I first decided to pursue a career as a child life specialist, but that did not pan out.

So after college, I completed a year with AmeriCorps as a corps member in City Year DC. From this experience, I saw the positive impact my corps members and I were having in the school. I continue to work in education because I see the daily positive impact that my fellow teachers and I have on students’ self-confidence and growth into well-rounded individuals. My favorite thing about being a teacher is seeing a child’s growth and development over the course of the year. I get to witness the moment a child ‘gets it,’ the moment when you see their face light up because they met a goal, conquered a challenge, or just developed a new skill.”

ALEX FREEMAN ‘05 Alex Freeman is an early childhood educator at Capitol Hill Day School, where she teaches a mixed-age classroom of pre-K and Kindergarten students. Freeman earned degrees in Elementary Education and History at the University of Maryland, College Park and, from Johns Hopkins University, a Masters of Science in Educational Studies, with focuses in Educational Leadership in Independent Schools and Emergent Literacy. “From moments in elementary school when I would babysit younger children or when I worked with 4Steps Therapeutic Riding Center during high school, I have always enjoyed working with children,” Alex said. “While working with our youngest learners, I am motivated every day by helping them not only learn their beginning math and reading skills, but also by helping them grow socially and emotionally and begin their journey as change-making members of society.”

EMILY (WIDRICK) CARPENTER ’04 Emily Carpenter, the director of institutional music at Northwest High School in Gaithersburg, always knew she wanted to teach. “I have many family members that are in education and I think that influenced my life,” Emily said. “I was also very fortunate to have many awesome teachers growing up, many of which are teachers I had at St. Andrew’s! Roy Barber and Vince McCool had a profound impact on me and are one of the reasons I became a music teacher and one of the reasons I got into music school.” Emily, who attended the University of Miami, is the daughter of long-time St. Andrew’s preschool teacher Jody Widrick. “I am still teaching because I love it. I love working with high school musicians and watching them grow and succeed. I love giving them music that they think they cannot play and then watching them as they realize they not only can play it but play it successfully at a concert. Many of them will not play past high school, but if they have a love for music then maybe their kids will play, too.”

DAVID BRIDGEMAN ’09

TARA (PRUGH) EVANS ‘87

David Bridgeman attended Goucher College where he earned a B.A in Jazz Studies. He turned that love of music into a career in education. Bridgeman currently teaches preschoolers at Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center where he is also the preschool music teacher. “I initially did not want to teach,” David said. “I was happy just focusing on music. However, during my senior year at St. Andrew’s, I had a memorable conversation with the music teacher (at the time) Dr. Wooley. It was late spring, and graduation was roughly in a month. She and I were discussing future career paths or what I wanted to pursue in college. She thought that I should look into teaching, (I didn’t consider it as) a profession or career worth pursuing. I dismissed it at first, because I solely wanted to focus on jazz, but I eventually gave it a shot. So why bother teaching? Why join or to stay in an extremely arduous and everchanging field? Why join or stay in a profession that is very much under-appreciated and often disrespected? Why bother staying in a field that is underpaid? These are all valid questions and should be addressed and solved with appropriate solutions. But in the end, the arts are an integral and central part to not only society but also to just being a good human. So to even be able to participate in something like that is humbling and rewarding.”

Tara Evans has taught at Rocky Hill Middle School in Clarksburg for 26 years, first teaching science, world studies, and television production before transitioning to teaching sixth-grade science full time.

Tara also sponsors the school’s Green Team, where she said she is able to build relationships with students and see them do what they love. “I chose teaching because I love working with kids and it is so rewarding,” Tara said. “Making a difference in a child’s life is what motivated me. I have learned so much about myself and life as a teacher. I love my job!”

She then attended the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts and worked as a professional puppeteer before beginning her teaching career as a drama teacher at Barrie School.

After six years there, Jessica moved to National Cathedral School where she taught English and added other roles along the way, including Eighth-Grade Dean, SEED Seminar Leader and her current role as Acting Associate Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “I did not want to pursue a career in education; I simply wanted to teach performing arts. That was partly because I had great drama, dance, and music teachers at St. Andrew’s.

I thought they were cool people in addition to being good teachers, so why not follow in their footsteps? Once in the classroom, I became really inquisitive about how learning works. I went to USC for an MAT and fell in love with teaching and learning. We learn in spaces where we feel seen and known.

We learn in environments where we feel safe enough to be authentically curious and take risks. I know that firsthand because I got that as a student at St. Andrew’s. Working for equity and inclusion in my classroom was part of my practice from day one. Over time, I saw I could do more to have a wider impact in the school, so I began to take leadership opportunities. I am still in education because I believe every kid deserves the best we have to give, and because I think I can help make independent schools more equitable and inclusive spaces where all kinds of people can learn together.”

Amy Helms has been working in education for more than a decade. After earning a B.A from Tufts and a Master’s in Elementary Education and Teaching from American, she spent two years working with Teach For America and another two working at a D.C. charter school. She then spent three years as an elementary teacher at St. Andrew’s before earning another Master’s, this one in school leadership, from Harvard Graduate School of Education. Since then she has risen from Assistant Principal at D.C. Prep to her current role as Head of School at D.C. Scholars Public Charter School, a PK-8 coed school. “Deep down, I think I always knew I was destined to be an educator,” Amy said.

“In college, I pursued other interests I had cultivated at St. Andrew's, including history, politics, and French. But, upon graduation, I realized I ‘accidentally’ minored in child development because I elected so many courses related to the development of young people, schools, and education policy. At St. Andrew’s, I had the privilege of having so many outstanding educators who built my self-confidence, cultivated my passions, and helped me better understand my strengths and weaknesses. I wanted to have that same

impact on young people. And the more I became aware of systemic inequities in our education system, the more resolved I became that all students, regardless of race, zip code, or economic status, deserve an outstanding education like the one I had. Now, as a Head of School, I have the privilege of hiring a new generation of educators and equipping them with the resources and development to ensure that our students have world-class learning opportunities.”

TOM TAYLOR ’00 Tom Taylor was a star on the stage at St. Andrew’s and now he’s a rising star in the independent school world. After leaving St. Andrew’s, he attended Oberlin and upon graduating went to work (inspired by Kurt Sinclair) as a physics teacher at Riverdale Country School in The Bronx. During his time there he was Director of Financial Aid and Outreach before becoming Dean of Students. He earned an M.A. from Teachers College of Columbia University before relocating to Minnesota where he was the Upper School Division Director at Breck School. In 2020, he returned to Riverdale Country School, this time as Head of Upper School. He is on track to earn his Ph.D. in Education Policy and Leadership next year.

DANNIE (MOORE) NGALIBIKA ’09 Dannie Ngalibika has spent much of her life at St. Andrew’s, first as a student, then as a teacher. After graduating in 2009, she attended George Washington University and then spent two years with Teach For America in Atlanta. She went back to school, earning a M.Ed. from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and then returned to St. Andrew’s where she taught elementary grades from 2016-2021.

She left St. Andrews at the end of the 2021 school year to pursue a lifelong dream of establishing her own Christian school. She is currently serving as the Vice Principal of Cornerstone Academy in Mount Airy. “During college as I was trying to finalize the career path I’d take, I took some time to reflect on all the jobs and volunteer opportunities I had to that point,” Dannie said. “There was a common theme among most of them: children. I realized I loved working with kids because they have such a joy for life! Also, I really enjoyed the opportunities I had to build relationships with families and students. It was great to be able to see the impact of the work I was doing had on their lives.”

STACY (HOUGH) SMITH ‘91 Stacy Smith wears many hats at Edmund Burke School. She is a codirector of Leadership Development, a Health, Values, & Ethics teacher for middle and high school students, and the JV volleyball and varsity swim team coach. After graduating with a B.A. from San Diego State University, she began her career at Edmund Burke, and is now in her 24th year at the school. “I attribute my love of teaching to my time at St. A’s with some of the best teachers in the world...McMillen, Warren, Weingarten, Airey, Mr. V, Mrs. Walsh, Ginger Cobb, Phyllis, and Ruth,” Stacy said.

DANIEL HARTMANN ’00 Daniel Hartmann completed all of his course work for a Ph.D. at George Mason University. While working on his masters and Ph.D. he began teaching at The Lab School where he first taught history before becoming a technology specialist.

Nine years ago he became The Lab School’s Director of Educational Technology.

“I knew I wanted to pursue a career in education during my sophomore year of college,” Daniel said. “Learning how the brain learns information as a psychology major fascinated me. I secured an internship after graduation at The Lab School to see if working in a special education environment lived up to my belief that this was the work that I indeed wanted to pursue. I have been lucky enough to be allowed and encouraged to keep growing as a professional in the same work environment.”

MARIAN (GODDARD) CARPENTER ‘03 AND NORA GODDARD ‘07 Marian Carpenter is a College Counselor, Internship Coordinator, and Humanities Teacher at The Siena School, an independent school for students with language-based learning differences. “I feel so fortunate to have had amazing teachers at St. Andrew’s.

They launched my interest in a career in education,” Marian said.

“The struggles I experienced learning to read and being bullied before arriving at St. Andrew’s piqued my interest in teaching students with learning differences.” She earned a B.A. from Bates College where she studied English, Creative Writing, and History, and a Master in Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the University of Maryland after producing a book-length manuscript of original poems. Her article, “Time travel is just too dangerous: Helping High School Students Visualize their Futures through Internships,” was recently published in the magazine “Link for Counselors.”

After earning a B.A. in psychology and education from Hamilton College and a Master’s degree in School Counseling from Boston College, Nora Goddard began a career as a counselor in independent schools. Today she works at Fairfield Country Day School, an all-boys independent school in Connecticut, where she provides individual student counseling, teaches a socialemotional learning class to sixth graders, consults with teachers and administrators, and supports parents with their questions and concerns. What she enjoys most about being a school counselor is helping children see themselves for their strengths and working collaboratively with them on their goals. As a true believer that education is a lifelong journey, Nora lives by that motto by taking graduate courses at Fairfield University to become a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, with the long-term goal of expanding her support of students to private practice counseling.

ROBIN KAHN ‘92 Robin Kahn has more than 20 years of experience in the field of Jewish education. In 2015, she became the Director of Education and Teen Engagement at Temple Israel of Natick in Massachusetts, and before that held leadership positions in the Boston and Philadelphia areas. “As I learned about Christianity and other world religions (at St. Andrew’s), I became even more interested in learning about Judaism, Jewish history, traditions, culture, and theology. My four years at St. Andrew’s enabled me to better articulate why being Jewish is important to me,” Robin said.

“I became a Jewish educator because it is the perfect way to share my passion for learning and Jewish history, culture, and tradition with Jews of all ages.” Robin earned a B.A. and M.A. from Brandeis University in Modern Jewish History and an EdM from Harvard University in Learning and Teaching. In addition to her work at Temple Israel of Natick, Robin directs the Undergraduate Fellows Program at Brandeis University’s Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education, where she mentors and teaches undergraduates teaching in Jewish supplemental schools.

MARK SHANOFF ‘88 Mark Shanoff is Chief Operating Officer for Volusia County Public Schools in Florida, where he leads a team of 1,200 employees and manages a $550 million annual budget. “My desire to serve was codified during my St. Andrew’s experience,” Dr. Shanoff said. “Between my community service experiences at the Allen Outreach Center in Anacostia and my summer in Tela, Honduras, I saw how schools were powerful symbols of hope no matter the community.” Prior to this role, Dr. Shanoff served as a high school, middle school, and elementary school principal, and earned accolades including National Distinguished Principal for Florida and National Association of Secondary School Principals State Principal of the Year in Florida. “Bringing the principal’s perspective to this job allows me to keep our large Operations Services Team focused on our core business of developing successful young people—both academically and socially/emotionally. The motivation is the same, but my levers in leadership have changed.”

AMY SELINGER ’88 Amy Selinger has spent 17 years working at Buckingham Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, Mass. Amy, who attended Colby College and got her M.Ed. from Harvard Graduate School of Education, began her career teaching history (and like St. Andrew’s teachers, she coached as well) and she is now the Director of College Counseling. “I always just felt a pull towards the work,” said Amy. “I did my senior project at St. Andrew’s at a school and I was sort of off to the races from that point on. I remember so many of my teachers and coaches at St. Andrew’s so fondly and they were great role models. To say that the foundation of my career was built on my experience at St. Andrew’s is an understatement. Beyond these inspirational educators, I believe that working with students is my calling and my opportunity to influence the future. Schools, students, parents, and times change, but working with young people is remarkably consistent. The teen years are so critical to our moral and intellectual development that having people who are willing to stand in the storm with these young people as they navigate a world that none of us could have imagined is a total privilege. If I have even a portion of the impact on my students that the caring adults at St. A’s had on my life, I will consider my career a success.”

ALUMNI WHO WORK IN HIGHER EDUCATION

KEITH ZIMMERMAN ‘84 Keith Zimmerman had no plans to become a university administrator. He took his first job at Exeter University as a way to finance his graduate studies while raising a young family and juggling gigs as a bookseller, sailboat captain, and professional chef. “I shortly came to realize that I was better suited to the variety and teamwork involved in the running of universities than to teaching and research itself,” Keith said.

Today, Zimmerman is the University of Bath’s first-ever Chief Operating Officer, where he develops and implements the university’s strategic plan. He is also responsible for a range of the university’s corporate functions, 36

SAES.ORG

including Estates, Human Resources, Digital, Sports, Arts, Legal, and Commercial services. When he joined the University of Bath in April 2020, he remarked on the enthusiasm students and staff have for the future of the University, as well as their commitment to caring for each other during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The role of universities will become even more important as societies emerge from the current crisis, and I look forward to working with students and colleagues to help the University of Bath make an even bigger impact on our world.” He was among the administrators who guided the University back to on-campus learning and the regular operation of school services.

Zimmerman has held a variety of

university leadership roles over the past 25 years. As the Group Chief Operating Officer at The Open University, he led the comprehensive transformation of many university departments, including student services, human resources, and information technology. At the University of Oxford, he secured significant investments in student services, especially those that addressed well-being among students of all abilities, as Director of Student Administration and Services.

What motivates him to stay in this field? “A firm belief that universities, in all their variety, are essential to making the world a better place. And seeing the impact that professional staff can have in helping students and researchers to excel.”

BRYN (WHITELEY) SEABROOK '08

FIKILE R. BRUSHETT ’02 Fikile R. Brushett ’02 spent the first part of his post-St. Andrew’s life furthering his own education. An undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania was followed by graduate degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since then, he has focused on teaching and research at the university level. He is currently an associate professor of chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “I have the chance to teach, work with, and ultimately learn from some of the brightest students in the world, both in the classroom and in the laboratory. The most rewarding part of my job is helping students wrestle with and ultimately master complex concepts through the development of systematic thinking and flexible problem-solving skills. A close second is the relationships that I am able to build with students during their time at MIT and I always appreciate hearing about all the great things my former students are doing!”

LIBBY BARRINGER ‘00 Dr. Elizabeth (Libby) Barringer has made learning a life-long pursuit. After St. Andrew’s, she went to The College of William and Mary and double majored in government and fine arts. Next she earned a Masters in Political Theory from the London School of Economics and Political Science. After two years working at The American Enterprise Institute, she continued her schooling, working on a Masters and a Ph.D. at UCLA, completing her dissertation Mortal Democracy: Confronting Death in Political Life in 2016. She is currently an associate fellow at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. She teaches political theory courses at Bard College and with the Bard Prison Initiative.

Bryn Seabrook pursued higher education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University after leaving St. Andrew's, earning a B.A, M.S., and Ph.D. during her time there. Awarded a doctorate in Science and Technology Studies, she currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Virginia. Bryn focuses on teaching engineering ethics and challenges engineering undergraduates to consider technology and society as integrated systems. “I started teaching engineering undergraduate students when I was in graduate school,” Bryn said. “Having this unique opportunity showed me that I could make a real difference.

From that point on, I knew that I had to be in the classroom.”

Seabrook has continued to work in education “because I am inspired by my students. Each semester is an opportunity to learn.”

ALUMNI WHO WORK OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

EDIE DEMAS ‘83 An audition for St. Andrew’s production of “Godspell” transformed Edie Demas’s high school experience, and set her on the path to creating inspiring arts education programs for students across the country.

“Each new project is like the start of rehearsal for a new production. It’s creative, collaborative, challenging, sometimes boundary-breaking, and so very satisfying, but there’s more than that,” Edie said.

“This work connects me to the lost 15-yearold that found her way into the spring musical and never looked back.”

Edie Demas is President of the Edie Demas Group, where she works as a consultant and independent producer in

the fields of arts management, education, and production for clients ranging from Turnaround Arts at the Kennedy Center to Broadway on Demand’s Broadway Access Classroom. Previously, Edie led the Jacob Burns Film Center as the center’s Executive Director, consulted on the opening of The Wallis performing arts center in Los Angeles, launched the Teaching Artist Ensemble at New Victory Theater, and worked as a teaching fellow, festival and conference producer, and adjunct faculty member at NYU, where she earned her Ph.D. in Educational Theatre.

While at the JBFC, Edie created a new middle school social studies and film education integration program in partnership with Brooklyn Historical

Society, Turnaround Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, entitled “Image, Sound, and Story: Created Equal.”

Her contributions included facilitating strategic planning, program design, and implementation in service of whole-school arts education, with a special focus on equity, social and emotional learning, culturally responsive pedagogy, and shared leadership. “I am motivated because there are always more students and teachers ready for discovery and innovation, ideally via the support of a robust program,” she said. “Projects like this allow me to connect to kids and teachers alike and to address issues I am passionate about through the arts. It’s a challenge and a privilege and a responsibility. I view it as change-making.”

GREG ROSENBAUM ‘06 Greg Rosenbaum is the Head of SXSWedu, a conference and festival in Austin, Texas that empowers the education community to advance teaching and learning. Greg leads all aspects of the event, from programming and production to marketing and messaging.

He was hired by SXSW to launch SXSWedu in 2010, and led the transition of the festival from a large-scale in-person event to a fully online event in 2021. Greg and his team are planning a hybrid SXSWedu for 2022. “It feels more like we’re community organizers than event planners,” Greg said during a 2018 interview. “That’s in part because of the relationships we’ve cultivated over the years, which support and sustain great programming. Through those relationships I find the greatest joy in our work.”

ANDREW WAYNE ’88 Andrew Wayne has spent his professional and academic life focused on how to improve K-12 education. He earned a B.S. in Physics from Dickinson College, an M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin’s College of Education, and a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland’s School of Public Affairs. Early in his career, he spent time in the classroom as a middle and high school computer science teacher. Since 2004, he has worked at American Institutes for Research and is currently a managing researcher supervising and leading work designed to inform policy and practice in K-12 education. “I got interested in the idea of teaching towards the end of college,” Andrew said. “So, I tried it. I also learned a lot about K-12 education at UT-Austin. That’s really where I charted my path. Education policy seemed important, and I somehow found a way to become a social scientist who focuses on education—the policies, practices, and programs.”

Our brains grow and change through the process of neuroplasticity, which makes us lifelong learners who can overcome adversity,” Sharon said.

GABE PACHECO ’97

ADAM BARTON ’12

Gabe Pacheco began his journey in education in 2002 shortly after graduating from Bard College. After spending five years teaching science in middle and elementary schools in the New York City public school system (and earning a M.Ed. from City University of New York), he pivoted to arts education to complement his personal interest in creative writing and performing arts. Currently, he helps design curricula and lead professional development workshops with the Story Pirates, an international children’s multimedia educational organization. The primary mission statement of the Story Pirates is to honor the words and ideas of children. In most of their programming they use theatre and comedy to motivate students and to bring their words to life. He also is a museum educator with the New-York Historical Society and just before the pandemic, released a comedy album titled “Risky Behavior” which can be found on Spotify. “During the pandemic, I’ve been able to lead remote workshops on a variety of topics focusing on New York City, U.S. history, civics, protest, and activism. I used humor and my background in comedy to make the online lessons as engaging as possible,” Gabe said. “I spend my days entertaining and educating children on Zoom and spend my evenings performing stand-up comedy around the city. It is my belief that you can’t inspire engagement without being engaging.”

Adam Barton has been busy in the five years since finishing his undergraduate degree at Georgetown University. From traveling as a Princeton in Latin America Fellow, to working at the Brookings Institution, to working as a Visiting Fellow at the Asia Pacific Initiative, he has put education in the center of his life. He is currently a Cambridge International Scholar and Stamps Fellow at the University of Cambridge studying educational change and implementation, with fieldwork slated to begin in Brazil this winter.

2020-2021 annual report Thanks to a solid foundation, steadfast leadership, and the trust of our wonderful community, St. Andrew’s has been able to thrive during the continued uncertainty that surrounds us due to the ongoing pandemic.

The 2020-2021 school year brought record enrollment, a strong operating surplus, and positive cash flow, allowing us to comfortably meet our financial obligations and debt covenants. In addition to tuition revenue, the School’s financial health was further strengthened by the generous philanthropy of the St. Andrew’s community through gifts to capital giving, the Lions Fund, the annual gala, and the One Pride campaign.

Enrollment for the coming year is once again at record levels – surpassing 700 students for the first time. Additionally, as this school year began, St. Andrew’s was completing a refinancing of its debt at extremely favorable rates and terms, resulting in significant savings and helping to ensure that the School remains in a strong, healthy financial position.

The Board is encouraged by the positive financial results, as well as the continued strong support of our donor community. With your support, St. Andrew’s will continue to provide an extraordinary teaching and learning environment to our students and live our mission to know and inspire each child.

Why We Volunteer

Making the decision to volunteer was easy after seeing the excitement on our sons’ faces the moment they stepped on the St. Andrew’s campus. Volunteering has been a great way to support our children’s education while connecting with wonderful parents and faculty. It has allowed us great insight into their school experience while supporting and strengthening the school’s values of community and inclusivity. There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities at St. Andrew’s – SAPA, Lions Fund, etc. – and it is our way of contributing and building stronger for the next generation of Lions!”

Why We Give

‘A happy student learns best.’ When we first heard these words, they rang true to us.

Because St. Andrew’s fully embraces this principle — just one of many examples of research-informed teaching and learning that makes St. Andrew’s a global leader in the field — both of our sons have had positive educational experiences here. They have been fortunate to have exceptional teachers committed to applying the latest research and to their individual professional development. We are also proud of the strong athletics program and premier facilities that give students the opportunity to excel on the court or the field.”

Why We Give

As a family who recently immigrated to the U.S., diversity was an important value for us in choosing a school. What we love about St. Andrew’s is the warm and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the respectful attitude towards different cultures.

The unconditional acceptance from the faculty and staff gives us a natural sense of belonging and both of my children have blossomed in this environment. Taking part in the Lions Fund is our way of saying thank you to this wonderful school community who has been so supportive of us.”

Why We Give

St. Andrew’s is more than a school — it is a community woven together by faith, kindness, curiosity, and ingenuity. These timeless values are building blocks for our family. We invest in St. Andrew’s to bring alive and cement these ideals in the dayto-day lives of our children. It is a blessing to be a part of this community that not only seeks ‘to know and inspire’ our children, but also helps our children to know and inspire themselves. We are proud to see their confidence and individuality blossom.”

Why We Give

I often reflect on my St. Andrew’s experience and the impact it had on me and my classmates. It has always been about balance — between educational rigor and a nurturing environment, between academics, arts, and athletics, and the development of life skills. And I believe it’s that focus on cultivating those uniquely human attributes that truly differentiates St. Andrew’s and positions its students for all forms of success. I am so very grateful for my St. Andrew’s experience — it’s what led us to send our children here — and we wish to enable that amazing opportunity for other families.”

Why I Give

St. Andrews isn’t just a school, a building, a campus — it’s a community that I am honored to be a part of today — nearly 30 years after graduating. As a student, I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by teachers that were dedicated to their students’ success and an administration that supported those teachers and all the students’ families. I love my St. Andrew’s community, and I want to make sure that future students will have the best educational opportunities available to them for many years to come.”

Why I Give

I give to St. Andrew’s because I am grateful for my experience at the school. My six years at St. Andrew’s not only adequately prepared me academically for college, but allowed me to make lifelong friendships and connections with both my classmates and teachers. In particular, I give back through the Black Alumni Collective (BAC). As part of the BAC Leadership Team, I work to enhance and enrich the experience of Black students and alumni through fellowship, advocacy, and mentorship.”

Why We Give

We are so thankful to be part of the St. Andrew’s community. The welcoming atmosphere provided a wonderful environment for our daughter. Through the drama program at St. Andrew’s she met lifelong friends, learned how to handle herself under pressure, and gained invaluable confidence in her ability to take on any challenge. The inspired teaching gave her the skills she needs for future success, and most importantly, taught her to value learning for its own sake. We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to St. Andrew’s through the Lions Fund.”

“I believe strongly in St. Andrew’s and in its mission ‘To know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service.’ My children, Chas ’07, Brenton ’09, and William ’14, have different interests and passions. Their individual experiences at St. Andrew’s allowed them to explore and pursue those passions – whether it was in the arts, academics, or athletics.

St. Andrew’s ongoing commitment and dedication to each student as a unique individual is something that I want future families to experience, this is why I felt it was important to include St. Andrew’s in my estate plans.”

— Anne Duvall P’07, P’09, P’14

The Jess Borg Society If you have decided to include St. Andrew’s in your estate plans, we would like to show you our appreciation by including you as a member of The Jess Borg Society, an honorary designation named for our founding Head of School.

Members are invited to the annual spring Lions Pride dinner with the Head of School and Chair of the Board, and are recognized in school publications.
