2018 ANNUAL REPORT 1

FY18 Annual ReportMessage from the President

Happy 35th Anniversary, Stern Center! Having had the privilege of being at the helm of this wonderful organization since its inception in 1983, I can honestly say that few years have had the vibrancy, power and im-pact of this one. We are pleased to report success from both fiscal and mission-driven perspectives. FY18 was one of our best years for services across evaluations and instruction. Professional learning thrived as well. We ended the year with a modest increase in net assets.

And Happy 10th Anniversary to the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excel-lence (CKHIE) at the Stern Center! Home to professional learning, its growth over the past decade has been extraordinary. During the past decade, we awarded nearly $1 million in grants to educators and school system leaders. CKHIE grants have also supported students, specifically those receiving multi-hour instruction at the Stern Center.

In last year’s Annual Report, we shared that our Board and staff had embraced the start of a transformational journey. This bold transfor-mation spans the core services upon which we have built our esteemed reputation over the past 35 years and the professional learning which has extended teacher expertise in the science of learning through the CKHIE. It enables us to extend our core services in evaluations, instruc-tion and social learning/communication as we collaborate with school teams towards systems change in the science of reading. Its inspiration began with a presentation at an Annual Meeting two years ago which emphasized that change cannot happen without joint work characterized by mutualism and reciprocity. Today we are poised to work together with educational partners to tap their expertise and incorporate the awesome brain discoveries we have witnessed over the past 35 years. Together, thanks to technological progress, we can implement proven literacy practices beyond our walls.

We began our journey with a partnership with Champlain College’s David L. Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry, a strengths-based initia-tive that coordinates positive education with academic excellence. Fol-lowing a March Summit with school leaders interested in systems change to advance reading success through the elevation of teacher expertise, we engaged our first pilot schools. The first collaboration cohorts, Hines-burg Community School and Hardwick Elementary, began the journey with us this summer and we look forward to at least three other schools and districts coming aboard in FY19. We are delighted that all teachers across both pilots, not to mention numerous educational administrative leaders, are taking our Comprehensive Reading Course for Educators online. This knowledge expansion will be followed by onsite and virtual coaching across sites.

We were honored to receive grant funding from the Hoehl Family Foun-dation to recruit thought leaders for the Transformation through the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence. We welcomed Dr. Jane Ashby as Senior Education Director and Dr. Jennifer White as Innovation Specialist.

Dr. Ashby is a highly regarded reading researcher who relocated from Central Michigan University to help grow our core services as we extend our professional learning models. Dr. White excelled in her doctoral work in learning disabilities with our longtime professional learning partner Dr. Nancy Mather and will lead the development of our cutting edge online coaching.

Technology played a major role in FY18. Our eLearning program has ex-panded with participants from rural areas of Vermont as well as around the country. We also launched two online professional learning courses: our Comprehensive Reading Course for Educators produced by Mind-Play and our Building Blocks Online course produced with the Emergent Media Center at Champlain College.

Our social learning program spread its wings with the development of Activities, Games, and Lessons for Social Learning. This handbook, authored by Julie Erdelyi and supported by a private grant, was accept-ed by Corwin Publishing. Our Trauma of Poverty series as well as a new course on autism further helped teachers address the social emotional challenges many children face every day at school and at home.

This year’s Annual Meeting features a keynote speech by Zach Terwillig-er, U.S. attorney from Alexandria, VA who was a Stern Center student 28 years ago. This will be one of many success stories we will share at this 35th anniversary celebration. We will also honor the memory of Cynthia K. Hoehl and the thousands of educators who have partnered with us over the past 10 years to bring the science of reading into the classroom through the Institute for Excellence named in her honor.

Anniversaries celebrate memories of yesterday and hopes for to-morrow. We have a rich history punctuated by people who believed in our mission and by those who executed it. We thank our founding benefactors and all those who have so generously contributed to our growth and sustenance. We thank our Board and staff who extend their tremendous talents to deserving students so that learning can flourish. We have witnessed enormous scientific discoveries over the past 35 years that nourish our hopes for tomorrow – that those brain findings can become reflected in every classroom, bringing educational equity to every learner.

All of you reading this message have in some way been a part of the Stern Center and deserve to share the magic of this time. As we reflect with appreciation on the past and look with excitement to our future, we invite you to share the joy we feel today. Thank you for your support.

Blanche Podhajski, Ph.D. President

Pilot Partners Transforming Literacy Instruction

This year we began systems change collaborations with two pilot schools to

increase literacy knowledge among general education teachers. In March, using an Appreciative Inquiry approach, we convened 20 educators, including curriculum directors, principals, superintendents, classroom teachers, and literacy specialists. We presented them with professional learning opportunities we have designed to transform literacy instruction in all schools. In this new model, teachers will learn the latest brain science and the instructional strategies that best match the developmental levels of their students.

PILOTS

Hinesburg Community School Pilot

Elaine Pinckney, Champlain Valley School District Superintendent, invited Suzan Locke, Hinesburg Community School Co-Principal, to guide the district’s first pilot site. All of Hinesburg’s K-4 teachers along with the Director of Special Education, Director of Learning and Innovation as well as proficiency-based coaches and other special educators completed online training in best-practices related to literacy instruction. All teachers will be coached throughout the school year within their grade-level teams as they apply their new knowledge in their classrooms.

Hardwick Elementary School Pilot

Rhoda McLure, Director of Instruction, Assessment and Grants at Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union, invited Patrick Pennock, Principal at Hardwick Elementary School to have his school become our second pilot site. Classroom teachers, Special Educators, literacy interventionists, pre-K and unified arts teachers completed online training over the summer and are participating in coaching throughout the school year.

Celebrating 10 Years of the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for ExcellenceIn this 10th anniversary of the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence at the Stern Center, we have experienced greater outreach than ever. It is a great privilege to share how we advance teacher and student knowledge.

New Online Courses

Released in June 2018, MindPlay Comprehensive Reading Course™ is a 30-hour online course designed for educational professionals striving to increase their knowledge about how

to teach reading and spelling. It is an approach for general education teachers, special educators, reading teachers, interventionists, and speech-language pathologists who work with diverse age ranges and skill levels. Created by Blanche Podhajski, Nancy Mather, Janice Sammons and Marilyn Varricchio, it originated in 1995 as TIME for Teachers and has evolved in scope over 24 years.

Building Blocks for Literacy® is a new online, 1-credit course for early childhood educators that covers language development, shared book reading, phonological awareness, executive function, the speech to print connection (including alphabet knowledge) and early literacy research. BB online

was produced in collaboration with the Emergent Media Center at Champlain College made possible through a grant to Champlain College from the Morris and Bessie Altman Foundation.

2018 ANNUAL REPORT


This year we continued to provide live, in-person Building Blocks for Literacy®

trainings to early educators throughout Vermont as we have done since 1997.

We brought Building Blocks for Literacy® Birth-5 to early educators in Rutland through multiple grant sources totaling $31,000 including the Bay & Paul Foundations, the Turrell Fund and the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence. A Building Bright Futures (BBF) audit identified the Rutland region as an area wanting to target early literacy development using Building

Blocks for Literacy® specifically. The training includes area librarians, Head Start

teachers and local area early educators from the Rutland County Parent Child Center, Little Lambs Early Learning Center as well as the pre-kindergarten teachers in the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union. Mentor training with ongoing coaching throughout the year are part of this collaborative grant.

Vermont Head Start & Building Blocks for Literacy® Birth-5: An anonymous grant

This is the first year of a two-year $125,000 grant designed to provide Building Blocks for Literacy® to organizations with statewide networks of educators. Vermont Head Start teachers have been the primary beneficiaries of this professional learning opportunity with Building Blocks for Literacy® Birth-5 training delivered to teachers in six of seven VT Head Start Regions.

We celebrate 10 years of partnership with Wilson Language Training, an organization whose mission is to provide professional learning and ongoing support to literacy educators. This year we provided Wilson Training and Fundations K-2 workshops to 124 educators.


Orton-Gillingham (OG) is a multisenso-ry structured lan-guage approach to instruction. The Stern Center’s OG Institute is accredited by the Academy of OG Practitioners and Educators to deliver OG training and mentoring. Two hundred twenty teachers participated in our OG programs this year.

Reading and the Brain is an interactive course designed for elementary and middle school educators who wish to learn about the brain basis of reading and how to support children’s reading development in the areas of phonological awareness, phonology, reading and spelling development, reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Participants take away practical strategies they can immediately implement to help struggling readers in the general education classroom and Special Education classes. We delivered this course to 40 educators this year.

Our courses in the Social-Emotional realm benefit students who have difficulties with social communication due to a variety of conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, attention issues and/or emotional-behavioral problems. Courses are designed to help teachers use best practices to improve school and classroom climates and build positive social interactions within the student’s community.

“Because most of what goes

on in reading is subconscious…

there is a science of reading: to understand this complex skill at levels that intuition cannot easily penetrate.”

COMEDY NIGHT NETS OVER $10,000

The FY18 Laughter for Learning comedy event, which benefitted the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence, delighted hundreds

of attendees during four shows on two nights in May. The team of nationally acclaimed improv comedians, led by Steve Waltien,

includes his wife and two childhood friends, all with ties to Vermont. They returned May 23 and 24 for the 4th Annual Laughter for Learning event. We are pleased to have netted just over

$10,000 thanks to corporate and individual sponsors along with ticket sales to support the Institute! The comedy team has promised that this will be a “forever event,” so we already look forward to next spring.

Special EventsSIGNATURE EVENT: COACH BARN AT SHELBURNE FARMS

Our second annual Signature Event brought together over 100 guests who experienced intimate personal vignettes of learning success thanks to our evaluation, instruction, and professional learning services and relationships. Special guest speakers included alums Matt Zahn and Stephanie Hackett as well as Kristen Foley, mother of a current student. Each speaker captivated the audience with personal accounts of how

the Stern Center transformed their lives and helped them achieve their dreams. We also heard highlights of a four-year professional learning collaborative with the leadership and staff at Williamstown Elementary School, which saw student reading achievement increase across the board and,

for the first time ever, zero special education referrals for reading-related learning disabilities for three straight years. This Williamstown study serves as a catalyst for our Transformation.

Signature Event Planning Committee

We are grateful for the donors who met a generous challenge grant from the Swift/McCargo Family, O’Connell Family and Lili Ruane. With their help, we exceeded our ambitious FY18 goal of $150,000, raising $179,800 for the Stern Center.

Adolescent & Pediatric Psychiatry Fellowships

The Stern Center partners with the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine to provide

training for medical students and physicians. Julia Molson, Psy.D., Supervising Psychologist of the School Consultation Service of the Pediatric Psychiatry Fellowship, supervised two fellows this year. Fellows participate in multidisciplinary evaluations with our diagnostic team and provide staff with a workshop on a topic of common interest. This year’s fellows were:

• Christopher Archangeli, M.D, who provided staff with a workshop at the conclusion of his rotation on the state of the field with respect to apps for monitoring and improving mood and behavior.

• Brady Heward, M.D., who presented staff with a presentation on the complex medical, legal, and cognitive issues related to marijuana use.

Staff News

Blanche Podhajski, Ph.D.. and Melissa Farrall, Ph.D., were featured speakers at the International Dyslexia Association’s annual conference in Atlanta.

Melissa Farrall’s latest book, All About Tests & Assessments, 2nd Edition, was released in December. Dr. Farrall was a featured speaker at several

national conferences this year, including the International Dyslexia Association Conference in Atlanta, where she spoke on the assessment of listening comprehension in the scope of a comprehensive reading evaluation. She presented twice in Dallas, first regarding the role of language within the context of a

comprehensive reading evaluation and later on the topic of how evaluations can guide instruction.

Tracy Stein, M.S.Ed., and Abby Roy, M.A., NCSP, CAGS, completed the Stern Center’s Orton-Gillingham training and are engaged in a two-year practicum to earn Level 1 Certification for Practitioners. This training will enrich their skills as evaluators and permit them to bridge the gap between evaluator data and instructional recommendations.

As the Stern Center celebrates 35 years, we recognize the importance of capitalizing on our ability to offer our exceptional instruction to growing numbers of clients using high-speed, digital technology. Thanks to a generous gift from Rich and Tracy Appleton Tarrant aimed at building our reputation in the eLearning marketplace, Stern Center instructors provided eLearning to nine students this summer in a pilot project at significantly reduced cost, launching our eLearning program. The Rene Bloch Foundation provided support to continue those underwriting efforts, helping to establish the Stern Center as a high-level, widely respected eLearning resource, which is critical to our ongoing success and sustainability. In addition, we received a $2,000 grant from IBM to fund technology upgrades, digital strategy/channel development, educational transformation & Watson integration.

Corwin Publishers will publish a book of lesson plans describing Stern Center methods of instruction for social learning. Lead author Julie Erdelyi is at work on Activities, Games, and Lessons for Social Learning, and we expect to have a completed manuscript next summer with a tentative publication date in the winter of 2020. This project is made possible by a generous gift from Deborah Schapiro and Lou Polish.

New Grant ProjectsTrauma of Poverty Community Collaboration

A Kelsey Trust award for $5,000 and an Oakland Foundation award of $3,500 allowed us to bring our Trauma of Poverty series to a community of nonprofit partners who work tirelessly to reach marginalized members of our community. These grants provided us with a unique opportunity to enable shelter coordinators, peer outreach coordinators, housing navigators, family advocates and others to share their experiences and practices.

The Vermont Family Network (VFN) benefited from our Alma Gibbs Donchian Foundation grant for $8,500 to provide the Trauma of Poverty series to its entire staff, including extended community partners. This training enhanced VFN’s work to empower and support all Vermont families of children with special needs.

This year, we collaborated with Project Vision in Rutland, whose mission is “to address substance abuse, reduce crime, and build great neighborhoods.” Project Vision introduced us to the Agency of Human Resources Field Services Director, the executive director of the Mentor Connector, and the executive director of the United Way of Rutland County to bring our course, Supporting Young People through Poverty, Trauma and Adversity to the community. To date, we have secured grants for this work from the People’s United Community Foundation, Carris Reels, and the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence.

Ongoing Grants Woodside School

We completed year two of a three-year $270,000 grant from the Canaday Family Charitable Trust to offer customized instruction in mathematics

and literacy to students enrolled at the Woodside School. This grant enables us to offer ongoing instruction

as well as Professional Learning for the team of teachers and clinicians at Woodside including coaching and ongoing support in the areas of self-regulation and social-emotional development.

Boys and Girls Club of Greater Burlington

Richard Tarrant, Jr., and Tracy Appleton Tarrant continued their support of our work with the Boys and Girls Club for the second consecutive year. Our focus was on healthy social-emotional development, especially as it relates to helping children cope with adverse childhood experiences. Nineteen participants completed

the training, which included information and activities about the impact of poverty, trauma, toxic stress, and stressor-related disorders as well as strategies for managing anxiety.

Brewster-Pierce Memorial School

Private, anonymous donors supported professional learning with coaching in both mathematics and reading at Brewster-Pierce Memorial School in Huntington. This was our third year providing coaching in mathematics to reinforce and advance current practice with a focus on lesson planning in response to data.

Additionally, Brewster-Pierce teachers learned the science of foundational literacy skills across the curriculum to improve students’ reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Teachers in K-4 learned best practices in phonological awareness, early phonics, syllable types, word study, vocabulary, and morphology.

Stern Center staff has helped our students access academics, since the gaps in their prior learning are

precisely addressed. Now our students see a pathway to success and they

feel like they finally belong in school.”

Scholarship• Smallwood Family Scholarship

This year we proudly announce two new scholarships that reflect the enduring legacy of two special individuals. These

scholarships allow greater accessibility to more students to receive the help they need to find educational success: the Visionary Fund Annual Scholarship and the Eleanor “Chris” Pratt Memorial Annual Scholarship. Additionally, the Pat Greene Memorial Scholarship and the Friends Endowed Scholarship Fund were endowed this year thanks to the generosity of many.

The Visionary Fund Annual Scholarship was established by Deborah Schapiro, a former Stern Center Board member in memory of her father, David Schapiro with a specific aim to help a student in math and, when possible, a student with English language learning needs or immigration history. It is with deep affection and devotion to the Stern Center mission that Deborah established this special annual scholarship to remember her father.

The Eleanor “Chris” Pratt Memorial Annual Scholarship was established this year by Frederick Pratt in memory of his wife of sixty years, Eleanor B. Pratt. In her teaching career, Chris worked primarily with individual students, especially those with reading difficulties. She had a natural fondness for young people and loved seeing them grow and learn. She was keenly aware of the social and

economic inequalities that severely restrict many less fortunate children. Therefore, this scholarship specifically aims to provide financial assistance to younger children from disadvantaged backgrounds in the hope that they may improve their basic reading and writing skills, discover increased self-confidence and self-esteem, develop a greater appreciation for the natural world, and most importantly, that they go on to discover new and challenging educational opportunities in the future.

Joan Martin’s generous challenge gift of $3,500 established the Friends Endowed Scholarship this year and inspired a community of donors to contribute over $10,000 to ensure the longevity of this scholarship.

A generous anonymous donor who was grateful for the remarkable work of beloved instructor Pat Greene has provided the funds to endow her memorial scholarship.
