This is the remarkable story of the creation of a new kind of high school that truly aspires to educate all students to high standards. Believing that a deeply personalized culture can prevent the senseless violence that has invaded many public schools, educators at Souhegan High School in Amherst, New Hampshire set out to create a safe, caring, and academically rigorous school. In this volume, Silva (a teacher) and Mackin (a principal) chronicle their experiences as they worked through the many challenges that ultimately resulted in this extraordinarily successful school. Featuring their honest reflections and the voices of other participants, this book: -- Portrays a real public high school (not a small alternative school) that is successfully implementing most of the reform practices recommended by national reform models. -- Demonstrates how schools can strike a balance between the need for stricter safety measures and the social and emotional needs of each student, thus avoiding violent outbursts in schools. -- Details the school's structure, curriculum, professional culture, and systems of accountability for all students in a heterogeneous, inclusionary setting. -- Describes the use of teaming, advisory groups, exhibitions, and senior projects. -- Provides a working model of the "Breaking Ranks" recommendations, including the importance of "personalization" and democracy in education.

Souhegan High School proves that consequential and imaginative change from ordinary routines can happen in a suburban school serving middle-class students. Standards of Mind and Heart demonstrates that sensible and sensitive reform can happen anywhere. There can be no excuses.” —Theodore R. Sizer, Coalition of Essential Schools “This book reflects the best thinking in secondary school reform literature and demonstrates how it has been enacted in a real high school. This is an important example of what works.” —Gerald N. Tirozzi, Executive Director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals

Mind to Heart first became a reality in 2013. Faced with the devastating loss of her beloved grandfather followed by a job layoff two months later, Andrea had to develop a healthy way to deal with the shift in the trajectory of her complicated and seemingly unsteady life, so she began writing. It began as a simple way of encouraging others through her heartache. The writings have been nicknamed as AMTs over the years. AMTs are short messages of hope that are shared with others as a way to offer encouragement that is inspired straight from God. These messages always include a scripture to validate the topic and to serve as a reminder that The Word is true and applicable. The easy to understand manner that each thought is presented helps the reader to get a grasp of Biblical principles regarding how we should live our lives based on the Word of God. There have been so many that have been blessed by these messages that it was only befitting to finally publish some of the work. God desires for us to share the Good News with others, so this collection of AMTs should inspire you but also those around you. These writings are not only easy to read and understand, but they should also give you hope and guidance about how you should live out your life full of purpose. People often wonder how she comes up with so many different topics, but it is through a willingness to follow Christ by upholding His holy standards. Mind to Heart is a compilation of some of Andrea's latest work, and it is sure to bless you.

Presenting basic spiritual principles in a manner and tone reminiscent of Edgar Cayce (who author Diane Chapin also channeled briefly), some quite basic church dogma is challenged. Examples: "Give up the notion that you are in some way less than you should be, for that brings about self impoverishment... impoverishment of the soul, the Spirit, and the heart." and ..". you must understand that there is no evil, except in the self hypnosis of the worldly mind."

It is a book that talks about some of the authors personal struggles and those of others but by trusting the power of their minds and putting it to positive use, many negative barriers were broken and new roads created. It is about making yourself the number one priority.
