Since 1960 the Massachusetts Teacher of the Year program has honored a Massachusetts teacher who exemplifies excellent teaching. Now in its 50th year, the program’s purpose is to identify a teacher who is worthy of publicly presenting the importance of the teaching profession, and representing the positive contributions of all teachers in the Commonwealth. When one considers that there are more than 69,000 teachers in Massachusetts it is apparent that finding the single person to hold the title “Teacher of the Year” is no easy task.
All too often you will read articles in the newspaper about principals who unveil new programs in their schools, superintendents who make valid arguments for more funding for education, the donations of wealthy people to the schools, and school facility upgrades (if and when they happen). All of these things are good, but when it comes to schools the most important and relevant articles that should be written everyday are not. These are the articles that pertain to the miracles that happen in each and every school, public or private, in every town in America every single day.
An article a day could be written about teachers who make differences in the lives of their students. These differences come by way of instruction, conversation, feedback, reward, and redirection. Accountability standards and state regulations aside, teachers work incredibly hard and our communities need to know that. So let this article serve as a thank-you to all teachers as I write about one who I have come to know quite well. After my first observation of her in her classroom three years ago, I told her that I was not comfortable evaluating her. Rather, in my time spent in her classroom observing like a good little administrator should – I was witnessing and learning about teaching at its very finest.
Anne Grosky is a teacher in the Ralph C. Mahar Regional Middle School. She works with eleven students who have unique learning styles. Her students enter her classroom having learned that learning is difficult for them, and because of this, they are in a different educational setting than their same aged peers. Anne however, does not see this as a challenge. Rather, she told me that she sees her job as an opportunity to “straighten sagging shoulders” and “raise heads that are pointed to the floor.”
The students in Mrs. Grosky’s class work in a system by which they earn certain tokens at the end of each school day. These tokens are earned for positive peer interactions, completion of assigned work, helping others during the school day, and for their participation in learning at the highest level that these seventh and eighth graders can. The tokens are then deposited into an account, and then at the end of the week these students can write checks to the “Grosky Store” for school supplies, books, and other items that pertain to school. The students also have the option of saving their tokens in their accounts so that they may purchase the ultimate item from the proverbial “top shelf” of the “Grosky Store.”
The best item in the “Grosky Store” is Sunday Dinner at Mrs. Grosky’s home. When Mrs. Grosky first came to me with this idea, I did not know what to say. In ten years as an educational administrator I had never been approached with such a request. Once I had a clear understanding of what she was thinking, I had to accept the idea. Anne and her husband Mitch (a retired principal) have now taken to having Anne’s students over the house each week. There they assist in planning, preparing, eating, and cleaning up after a meal with Anne’s family. On one Monday in particular when Anne showed me the pictures of one of her students making a Caesar Salad something dawned on me. I was looking at a picture of a student, who at the age of thirteen and due to the situations of his life had never had the opportunity help prepare and enjoy a meal in the fashion that Anne had provided. My heart melted.
When I watch Anne teach and I see her science experiments, her class plays, and her truly multi-sensory approach to teaching, I know that miracles are happening in her room everyday. When I see the pictures from her home each Monday, I know that the miracles are now taking place on Sundays as well. What a treat…a teacher who loves her work, loves her students, and truly changes their lives. I believe that all teachers should be recognized, and as you have read, especially Anne.
So about a month ago, I got together with some of Mahar’s employees, parents, and with the students in Anne’s class. We decided that she should be the one who is called the “Teacher of the Year” and we put together a packet of information on her behalf. Just a couple of days ago, Mrs. Grosky was informed that out of the 69,000 teachers in Massachusetts that she has been named a Top Ten Semi-Finalist in the competition. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education still has much to do to identify the person who will hold this prestigious title. The winner, by the way, is automatically entered into the National Teacher of the Year Competition. Because of rules that govern confidentiality, I cannot write about how Anne has helped each student individually, but I think that President Obama is going to be delighted when he meets her and learns about what she has done.

Cellular Phones = Handheld Computers: Parents Beware!
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to read over state legislation that is proposed to limit bullying in schools. It is apparent that this law has been drafted in reaction to a recent tragedy in which a student who was being harassed by her peers made a drastic decision to take her own life. The legislation will offer school administrators increased flexibility in taking steps to eliminate bullying in schools while at the same time mandate that students be educated about these negative peer interactions.
In the wake of the tragedy that has driven this legislation, administrators all over Massachusetts and in many other states have been taking steps to ensure that their schools are free of the types of student behaviors that brought about this event. More specifically, my fellow Superintendents, Principals, Assistant Principals, Counselors, and Technology Directors have focused in on “Cyber Bullying,” what it is, and when and where it takes place.
It is not that we didn’t know about “Cyber Bullying” at Mahar. Each year we have guest presentations for our students that pertain to their behavior on the Internet and next month we will have a presentation for parents. We have known for a long time that just as the Internet provides a new method of communication for everybody, it also provides users with the idea that their one-way communications can remain anonymous. We spend a lot of time informing students that this is not so. Further, we have other concerns about students’ safety on the Internet because of the potential for them to be endangered by the predatory behaviors of some, identity theft, and other outright scams.
We thought that the aforementioned feared activities could not take place in school because we have such an elaborate technology system in place that simply will not allow it. In school, every move that a student makes on the Internet is monitored, and every word that is typed can be recorded. These filters are in place because of laws that exist to help us protect our students. But what I have learned recently is very important information, not only for teachers and administrators, but for parents as well.
When I was a child the Atari, the Apple II, and the Commodore 64 dominated the industry. There was no Internet and cellular phone calls were reserved for those in the military or those who were filthy rich. Today, the cellular phone is not just a phone – rather, cellular phones are handheld computers. A student who has a phone with a data connection can do anything that can be done on a computer, and this fact is one that needs the careful scrutiny of parents.
Those parents who are proactive and put surf controls on the home computer, limit time on the Internet for their children, and take other steps such as having the home PC in plain view might not be doing enough to protect their children from the dangers that exist on the “Net.” Even with all of the controls that are available, students can still use their phones – sometimes right in front of their parents and teachers to connect to the net and communicate with others. A student appears to be checking the time might be on Facebook, MySpace, sending a text, and/or so much more.

500 Lunches in 90 Minutes or Less!
Tonight I used the Internet to see if I could find out how many restaurants there are in the United States. I learned that there are approximately 750,000 in total and that of these, more than 50,000 are classified as “Fast Food.” McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and KFC all operate on pretty much the same premise – people walk in to the restaurant, wait in line for a relatively brief amount of time, then they get their food and leave, or they sit down and eat it pretty quickly.
It is likely that there is tremendous research on the eating habits of fast food lovers. For instance, it would be interesting to know the average number of minutes a person stays in one of these establishments. I would be curious to know how much money the average person spends and how many people can be served in one hour. The caloric content of fast food meals has been under intense scrutiny in recent years along with fat content and sodium levels – yet these establishments continue to flourish with hungry customers.
If I were to offer fast food franchise owners the opportunity to have more than 500 customers a day for 180 days a year, most would likely jump at the opportunity. This proposition would provide a chance to serve more than 90,000 meals a year. Let’s say I was to tell the fast food owners that the 500 meals per day would be served in less than 90 minutes? I think that would make the offer even better. Imagine the profits that could be made!
Now imagine that any meal served must meet Dietary Guidelines, which recommend that no more than 30 percent of an individual's calories come from fat, and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. These regulations also establish a standard for meals to provide one-third of the Recommended Daily Allowances of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories. And one more thing….the maximum that can be charged for a meal is $2.50 (and it must include milk).
Mahar parents were recently notified of a twenty-five cent increase in an individual student lunch. The current fiscal situation both locally and nationally made this a very difficult decision to make. Mahar’s commitment to providing nutritious meals for its students remains – but it is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain.

Racing to the Top - We Have to Wait and See
Lately the Race to the Top has been the topic of conversation in our schools and in the media. The Race to the Top is a competitive $4.35 billion dollar education reform program that could award Massachusetts up to $250 million dollars in additional funding for education. In order to obtain these funds the Massachusetts Department of Education has had to work collaboratively with State Legislators and stakeholders in drafting its proposal to the Federal Government.
On December 11, 2009 Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Commissioner, Mitchell Chester sent a letter to School District Leaders asking that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) be signed by School Committee Chairpersons, Massachusetts Teachers Association (Union) Presidents, and District Superintendents stating that their districts would commit to implement the initiatives named in the state’s proposal to the Federal Government. The Commissioner states very clearly in his letter that if Massachusetts were to be awarded the aforementioned funding, at least half of the grant award will be distributed to those districts who submit MOU’s that are signed by all three parties.
The MOU has been the topic of discussion since the release of the Commissioner’s letter, and for many more reasons that there is time to write about. First, in order for an MTA President to sign the MOU he/she needed the consent of the larger MTA as an organization and the support of his/her local Teachers Union. The School Committee Chairs needed to have the authorization from their School Committees to sign and finally, the Superintendent would have to sign as well.
Here is a link that will take you to both the letter from the Commissioner and to the MOU:
http://www.doe.mass.edu/arra/rttt/mou.doc
If Massachusetts is awarded the Federal funds associated with this agreement, the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District would stand to gain approximately $27,000.00 in additional funding. The amount of funding for each district is based on how much Title I funding each district receives – which is an additional 15% of each district’s Title I funds….but these funds come with requirements……
What requirements???
Since the Teacher’s Unions, Superintendents, and School Committees were unsure of what the requirements would be many of these groups opted not to sign and/or submit the MOU. As of 9:00 PM last night, approximately 50% of the districts in the state had signed the MOU, and this is reflective of about 67% of the state’s K – 12 population. At Mahar the MTA President, School Committee Chair, and Superintendent (me) signed the MOU. With this we also signed a Memorandum of Agreement stating that any party could back out of the Race to the Top process at a later time – should the requirements of the grant be perceived to be prohibitive, remove collective bargaining rights, or be viewed as not a good option for Mahar’s students.
The state’s application to the Federal Government is due in Washington DC on January 19. I am not clear on what happens after that, but I will be sure to keep you posted. All that I know for sure is that with the Massachusetts application for the Federal funds are 245 signed Memorandums – and one of them bears our district’s name and required signatures.

Regional Assistance Centers
This morning I attended a workshop that was sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). Today’s workshop focused on another DESE initiative which is aside from the new computer data collection program for Special Education compliance reporting, the Readiness Project, or the new MCAS data reports that show student growth (DESE meetings of late). The DESE initiative du jour was creation of the District and School Assistance Centers (DSACs) across the state.
Essentially, schools and districts are now being ranked in a level system that places them anywhere from Level 1 to Level 5. I should specify that the level system relates directly to school performance under the No Child Left Behind Act…which means how our students perform on state assessments and meet other criteria such as timely graduation. The new level system works like this:
Level 1 – Meets Regulation – DESE provides voluntary access to online tools
Level 2 – At Risk – DESE suggests assistance for student groups and teachers
Level 3 – Needs Technical Assistance – ESE provides priority assistance and guides self-assessment
Level 4 – Needs Intervention – DESE requires intervention
Level 5 – Needs Substantial Intervention – DESE co-governs district
So where does Mahar stand in all of this?
Here is a breakdown of the 1766 schools in Massachusetts:
Level 1 – 464
Level 2 – 82
Level 3 – 1177
Level 4 – 43
We are in a group with 1176 other schools. Today our administrative team affirmed yet again our commitment to improve. Before the announcement of the District and School Assistance Centers, we were committed to reaching the benchmarks for student performance that is set by the state. Now we are also committed to moving Mahar to Level 2, and then to Level 1 in the new system unveiled by the DESE today. Only now, we know that we will have the assistance of some highly qualified folks at the DESE – one of which I have come to know as an outstanding person and consummate professional.
I am looking forward to working with our newly appointed DSAC Regional Assistance Director, Ken Rocke.
One more thing – for those of you who read yesterday’s blog, I went with the Quarter Pounder with Cheese & a Large Fries. I skipped the soda though and had a cup of coffee.

Super Size Me?
Last week I drove to Western New York to visit my family. I did not pack any food for my seven hour drive, and when I got hungry enough I decided to pull off the highway to get a bite to eat. Sadly, one of the foods available to me at that moment was McDonald’s. I could have gone to the convenience store and grabbed a yogurt, or perhaps a granola bar – but the smell of the burgers and fries took over my senses and I had to give in. And while I stood at the counter debating over the Quarter Pounder or the Big Mac I realized that I had not been to the “Golden Arches” in more than five years.
It was around 2004 that I first encountered the movie, “Supersize Me.” This documentary was about a man who ate nothing but McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for one month. By the end of the thirty days he had gained considerable weight and was becoming very sick according to his physician. The doctor actually asked the man to give up on his month long project in the interest of good health. The constant flow of fast food was starting to affect his liver, mood, and cardiovascular fitness.
This morning irony struck when I read the topic of this month’s Educational Leadership as, “Health and Learning.” Each month this publication focuses on one topic in the American Public School System, providing those in educational leadership with information and insight to potentially improve schools large and small. The December 2009 issue covers students’ diets, sleep habits, emotional wellness, and exposure to drugs and alcohol.
As a school community we have focused in school eating habits with our district wellness policy as well as our policy to allow bottled water in the classrooms. One of the points made in Ed. Leadership’s article about healthy eating is that children who are continually exposed to fat, sugar, and salt will find these foods to be their friends. These children will then turn to these foods for comfort in times of stress, or just as a better tasting alternative to healthy foods. Once this cycle begins, it can be a hard one to break, and the repercussions can bring agony later in life.
You can see the first four minutes of the movie, Super Size Me by clicking the link below. I give this film two thumbs up!

A Thanksgiving Blog
Much has changed in the American School System since I was a child. I can recall decorating trees, decorating eggs in art classes, making cards for family members and sharing gifts with my classmates. Many of these activities are no more in public schools, or they are implemented with surgical political correctness, so not to offend any member of the community. Clearly the holidays of which I speak can have a religious connotation to them.
Ahhh, but then there is Thanksgiving. I am sure that there are some out there who treat Thanksgiving as a religious holiday – but for the most part it is a day when we get together with our families and friends to share in a celebration. This primarily secular holiday first occurred nearly 400 years ago and the typical celebration that is held in homes across America emulates what happened way back in the 1600’s.
Tomorrow the Ralph C. Mahar Thanksgiving celebration begins at 10:00 AM on our football field where our Senators host the Athol Red Raiders. There is tremendous excitement in both communities about this game. We are 9 – 0 and Athol is 9 – 1. Two excellent football teams meeting on a turf field on a 50 degree day, without a chance of rain. While those of us are here watching our teams and coaches battle it out, we will have in the backs of our minds the delicious food, and fine company that awaits us later in the afternoon.
Anytime I have been asked which holiday is my favorite, I am quick to point out that it is Thanksgiving. I enjoy the camaraderie found in excellent athletic programs such as ours and Athol’s. So before the NFL games begin, before the turkey or the stuffing with the family – I would like to say good luck to both teams in tomorrow’s game. Play hard and of course play safe!
Please allow me to say Thanks in advance to the Senators and the Red Raiders for a great game, and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
