Hi!
My name is Bill Ivey, and I am the Middle School Dean at Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield, MA. Among other things I do at SBS, I work with an advisory group, I teach a Humanities 7 course based on a democratic classroom model, I co-advise our student government group "MOCA," and I coordinate and volunteer in our Commnunity Service Program.
I believe very strongly that all communities work best when all voices are heard and when all members believe and trust in their own power, individually and collectively. I believe that it is doubly important to include student voices in middle schools, both for the immediate benefit to the school and for the longer-term benefit to society. I look forward to sharing ideas, strategies, questions, frustrations, successes and more as we here form a community and work to incorporate our students' voices into our schools.
Take care,
Bill Ivey
