The Matchmaker, Thornton Wilder's uproarious
farce about love and money, stars the
irrepressible busybody, Dolly Gallagher Levi,
who inspired the Broadway musical, Hello,
Dolly!
Through Dolly's subtle machinations, several
unlikely couples come together to find
happiness in 19th-century New York. The New
York Times called the original 1955 Broadway
production "loud, slap dash and uproarious ...
extraordinarily original and funny."

Center for Social Research - Authentic Assessments and
Accountability in Education
Saturday, April 25, 9:00 am - 4:30 pm at the Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY
Please join us at the Omega Institute for an unprecedented gathering of university
students and professors together with educators, administrators, and parents from public,
private and home schools. In response to the push for market-based, high-stakes testing
and common core learning standards, we will gather to share what we know to be true as
teachers and parents based on our experiences in the classroom and the home. Starting
with the premise that it is essential for teachers to play a pivotal role in determining
meaningful and age-appropriate assessments, we will explore the need for a selfgoverning, educator-led professional accountability system and how to create it. The event
will include panel presentations and discussion, small group conversations, studentperformed humoresque and poetry on high-stakes testing, and the unveiling of a new
peer-reviewed research study on Waldorf assessment methods.
Current list of presenters and conversation facilitators include: Heinz-Dieter Myer, PhD,
SUNY Albany; Carol Ann Bärtges, Rudolf Steiner School, NYC; Katie Zahedi, PhD,
SUNY New Paltz; Patrice Maynard, Research Institute for Waldorf Education; and Gary
Lamb, Hawthorne Valley Center for Social Research. The event is hosted by the Avalon
Initiative, a collaborative project of the Hawthorne Valley Center for Social Research and
the Research Institute for Waldorf Education. For more information, please click here to
visit the Avalon Initiative website, or contact Gary Lamb via email or phone 518-6724465 x 223. Supporting sponsors for this event are the Omega Institute and Chronogram
magazine.

Farmscape Ecology Launches Progress of the Seasons Project
Back in 1825, the New York State Regents, who supervised a statewide network of
academies, got interested in meteorology and "the progress of the seasons", or what we
would call phenology, for example, when different flowers bloomed, birds arrived,
butterflies flew, or frogs called. The Regents apparently sent each academy a weather
HVS Bi-Weekly 3-25-15.htm[3/25/2015 3:15:27 PM]
HVS Bi-Weekly 3-25-15
station and asked them to report on certain seasonal events.
At one time or another, over 90 academies submitted data and the project lasted until the
Civil War. The "progress of the seasons" data are a fascinating way to explore human
history, natural history and climate change. We have been transcribing some of these
data and are now beginning to make them available in various ways.
We'll start with a daily 'This Day in Natural History' type posting, letting you know some of
the events recorded for a given day by the regents observers. We'll spice that with any
current observations that we've made, and, most importantly, will ask you to post your
own sightings. Over time, we'll start analyzing the historical data and comparing them with
modern observations.
We've just assembled a web page for the project; click here to read more! We would be
happy to talk with teachers or others interested in getting more involved. Our dream is to
help recreate this school network.
