The Educational Choices Foundation (ECF) is pleased to announce that Dr. Sandra Stotsky, a nationally-recognized standards and curriculum expert, will provide advice on the development of these areas for the proposed chartered public school, Windham Academy. Dr. Stotsky is credited with developing one of the country’s strongest K-12 academic standards for Massachusetts. She served on the National Validation Committee for the Common Core State Systemic Initiative (2009-2010), on the National Mathematics Advisory Panel (2006-2008), co-authoring its final report as well as two of its task group reports, on the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (2006-2010), and on the Steering Committee in 2003-2004 for the framework for the National Assessment of Educational Progress reading assessments for 2009 onward.
Dr. Stotsky has also graciously accepted our invitation to come to Windham and discuss different options that are available for schools. While Common Core State Standards are being implemented at public schools across New Hampshire, there are excellent alternatives which Dr. Stotsky will discuss. Please join us on Friday, September 5th at 7:00pm at the Windham Town Hall. This event is free and open to the public.
“We are honored to have Dr. Stotsky’s help in developing the standards and curriculum for Windham Academy,” said Sean Donahue, chairman of the ECF.
The Educational Choices Foundation is a non-profit organization, created with the mission to bring expanded educational options and a chartered public school to the Windham community. The board members of the ECF are Sean Donahue, Tom Murray, Jim Fricchione, Michelle Levell, and Christopher Baker.
