Eagle Hill School is a pioneer in the field of education
Rarely are there opportunities for
Rarely are there opportunities for independent schools to shape the national discourse on education, especially regarding learning disabilities. Yet, in quiet and steadfast ways Eagle Hill has found continual ways to do so throughout its 48 year history. EHS has headlined national conferences, guided large, Massachusetts school districts through annual professional development programs, and worked with its own growing number of students to model a method of successfully teaching all students. Long before any notions of Universal Design for Learning entered the public conversation, Eagle Hill championed a new way to understand teaching and learning.
We embraced the idea that the hindrance to content mastery rested not within the student. Rather, the biggest barrier was the widely accepted and seemingly inert teaching paradigm. To provide a classroom in which individual differences were not only expected, but celebrated, was the key to unlocking every student’s full potential. It has been so at EHS for decades, yet many school districts still struggle with this idea.
In yet another subtle, but no less profound way Eagle Hill has done it again. Years in the making, EHS has released its new viewbook. While your first reaction may be one of confusion regarding the impact something so seemingly simple can have, I urge you to look in your mailboxes in the coming days for your copy. This viewbook’s language is far from trivial. It delivers content on "learning diversity" that is 10 or more years ahead of its time, once again cementing EHS as a pioneer in the field of education.
