Why Cabot School was nominated
The school has implemented mastery-based learning system and uses the Mastery Transcript as the official summative record for some or all graduates or supplements the legacy transcript with the MTC Learning Record reporting on "durable skills) (aka "portrait of a gradudate" competencies)., Cabot School is a small, rural, pre-k to 12 project-based community school located in Cabot, Vermont. The school serves approximately 160 students in grades pre-k through 12 through a unique and innovative project-based program that is deeply connected to the community. In the 2018-2019 school year, Cabot School began multiple initiatives designed to build safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environments for all students. These initiatives included PBIS, restorative practices, and trauma informed practices. In the 2020-2021 school year, these initiatives were consolidated into what we term Crew. Crew mindset is characterized by an ethic of teamwork, positivity, and growth-mindset. The Crew team facilitators plan and implement school-wide structures and strategies that are designed to ensure teachers and students have the capacity to build community through relationships and deepen their ability to resolve conflict independently. As members of the leadership team, they facilitated a school culture committee to focus us particularly on becoming a culture of belonging and inclusion.
Student experience design
Our learning environment is designed to create a student experience that is at once engaging and flexible. We want students to feel trusted as learners and to feel known well by the adults in our community. We want students to feel that they can take ownership over their own learning spaces.
