Episode 11 - Predictability and Support
The are several factors that makes New Covenant unique among schools. We could point to the classical, Christian tradition from which the curriculum has been deeply shaped. While that is a key factor, it doesn’t completely explain the culture of the school. There are two other things that should be considered. Our consultants at Independent School Management (ISM) have conducted longitudinal research to determine the factors that contribute most powerfully to student success and well-being. With data from more than 4,000 schools they have found incontrovertibly that the biggest drivers in student success are predictability and support. Predictability, by which we mean the “rule-reward” structure is strong, but also intelligible and fair from the student perspective; and support, which we define as an environment in which students perceive that the entire faculty, administration, and coaching staffs genuinely seek the students’ success and work to achieve that success without inflated reinforcement. We can think of these factors as the two rails on which a train runs. The rails are not the main thing - the train is - so these two “rails” are carefully maintained in our school. Join me and our Principals for a discussion in this month’s Gentle Folk Podcast.

Episode 10 - Writing Literacy: From Threshold to Thesis
Speech, both oral and written, is a distinguishing feature of human beings. Yet learning to write is an arduous task that requires attention to rules and lots of practice. Not surprisingly, the classical tradition provides a time-tested method of developing this skill. A student at New Covenant begins to acquire this skill from the threshold of literacy on the first day of school to the completion of a thesis by the last. Both in college and in later vocational contexts, our students demonstrate notable ability to express themselves. It doesn’t happen by chance. In this episode Middle School Instructor, Natalie Olenik and School of Rhetoric Principal, Dr. Erin Uminn, discuss the precise way we teach students the art of writing.
