The digital world has gone 3D, and with it ourstudents are able to solve problems throughcreations made first on the computer and then

printed in plastic on a 3D printer. This type of problemsolving that requires computer skills, collaborative capabilities, and creativity is one of the necessary skillsour students will need to have in the 21st century. ThePartnership for 21st Century Skills reports, “There is aprofound gap between the knowledge and skills moststudents learn in school and the knowledge and skillsthey need in typical 21st century communities andworkplaces.” Harbor Day continues to track and assistour students with developing the knowledge and skillsnecessary to become self-sufficient and successful lead-ers of the future. Creating Tinkerspaces, Makerspaces,coding, and 3D design classes are ways in which we areproviding new learning opportunities for our students.These types of problem-based learning experiences areprovided using hands-on and collaborative methods of teaching that enables our students to become moreself-directed, creative, and resilient problem solvers.Using these strategic approaches to learning, studentsdevelop metacognitive and critical thinking skills by integrating and applying what they know, as well as locating the necessary steps and tools to solve a problem.

Recently we hosted our first Maker Faire in aneffort to foster creativity and encourage bothproblem solving and cooperative learning

skills among our School community. The premise of the

Maker Faire is, “If you can imagine it, you can make it.”Using various tools, such as the 3D printer, gadgets andother materials, families and teachers crafted differentobjects or contraptions. This event allowed our studentsto debut and showcase their creations to families andfriends of Harbor Day School. This is just one of manyways we are preparing our graduates to become moreinnovative thinkers and problem solvers.

21st Century learning is not only taking place in the computer lab. Students learn how tofunction in a group discussion around our

Harkness tables and write clearly and insightfully in our language arts classes. In math classes they learnhow to use mathematical processes to solve problemsand predict the future by measuring the past. In socialstudies, they learn about the world through history andgeography, and in foreign language they learn how to speak the languages of the world. Perhaps most importantly, they learn how to be a person of characterthrough our intentional efforts to teach them the PILLARS OF CHARACTER and our high expecta-tions that they be kind and caring people.

The 21st Century is here and we are living it at HDS!

BEACON — FALL/WINTER 2014

BY STACY BIERLEIN

Last year when Forbes Magazine reported the deathof shop classes in school curriculums across thecountry, the blogosphere nearly exploded with reactions. Retiring woodshop and metalworkingteachers called it the end of an era, acknowledging

that when they left, their positions would not be filled. Sawsand sanders would be removed from their classrooms, they said, to accommodate additional computer stations and iPad trolleys.


(CONTINUED ON PAGE 7)

For every computer industry executive that wrote in applauding school boards for their forward-thinkingdecisions, another commented that the wood box he built in elementary school woodshop sat on hisdesk and held his pens to this day. They asked, “What about the beauty and sense of accomplishmentone feels from envisioning something, then building it with your own hands?

By the end of this year more than 90% ofshop classes will have been eliminated fromLos Angeles and Orange County Schools,both private and public. But there are some

holdouts; schools like Harbor Day School where thewoodshop course is steeped in tradition. Rememberthe California mission-style shelving you or your student built in Third Grade? What about the mid-century modern tables students maneuver into theirparents’ cars in Sixth Grade? One look at the shelvingmight recall an entire semester of California history;one glimpse of the table might recall a month of draw-ing and drafting in art class because course work, evenat the elementary level, does not live in a vacuum.

And this is the key, really: keeping woodshop integrated into a forward-thinking curriculum, creat-ing a course that inspires building skills in a world of advancing technology, that introduces students not only to building, but to the complexities of the built environment. Learning to build and fixthings has always fostered civic participation. Whenwe talk about building, we talk about architecture,

engineering, cultural anthropology, and urban plan-ning. Essentially we talk about design.

Thanks to the hard work and collaboration of Di-rector of Technology James Gapp, Woodshop TeacherSean Rowe, and Art Teachers Stacey Hammond andLeslie Yagar, Harbor Day School students next yearwill be introduced to an innovative reinvention of shopclass, called Design.

In this new course, students will strengthen theirplanning and building skills as in a traditional wood-shop class, incorporating computer skills and tabletapplications. Design students will go one step furtherstill, using their critical thinking and problem-solvingskills to envision and discuss real-world applicationsof their work.

One of the primary goals of Design is to celebrateeach student’s knowledge in core subjects like mathe-matics, social studies, and art by inspiring them inprojects that invite them to imagine a future world.This encourages critical thinking, problem solving,collaboration, innovation, and citizenship—traits educators often refer to as 21st Century Skills. ■

Central to Mrs. Stockstill’s Upper Schoolmath classroom are the “4 Cs” that are key components of 21st CenturySkills: critical thinking, communica-tion, collaboration, and creativity. The

traditional methods that used to be taught in math cannow be done by using Google, a computer, or a calcu-lator. Mrs. Stockstill says, “Math problems are becomingmuch more open-ended and require students to thinkcritically and strategize more than they did in the past,when they could just follow a given procedure.” Mrs.Stockstill has witnessed the changes first hand; she hasbeen teaching algebra for 19 years at Harbor Day Schooland now teaches algebra and geometry. She has attendedworkshops at Exeter to learn how they teach math. Thisis the third year she has used Problem-Based Learningin her classroom.

Problem sets are her primary tool for teaching students tothink critically and to collaborate. In Problem-Based Learn-ing, students are given new problem sets almost every night.

The questions are ones they haven’t talked about yet and that aren’tmodeled directly from examples in the textbook. The objective isthat students learn to start “taking what they know and apply thatto a problem that they’ve never seen before, and also extending itand changing it the way they would have to in the real world.”

Students are constantly adding to their skill base, and they aredrawing from it as they solve the problems and later discuss theirsolutions in class. As Mrs. Stockstill says,“They have to integratewhat they’ve done and take it to another level.”

Students are prepared for this type of innovative thinking from

their work in the Lower School. Every day in Mrs. Graham’sSecond Grade math lesson, students use “bar-modeling” tosolve a word problem. This visual tool helps students under-stand what is being asked so that they can find the answer ina step-by-step process. Learning is hands-on, and concretematerials such as beans or blocks are often manipulated to helpstudents move to the next step: a picture representation of theproblem. “The key is to help them understand why they aredoing something, and then they are able to use that skill indifferent contexts,” Mrs. Graham says.

In her classroom, there is an emphasis on understandingthat math can be done in different ways. It depends on whatclicks with the students’ learning style. Each day in the class-room, students are asked to “phone a friend” on their cardboardcell phones. Mrs. Graham instructs them to call a speed-dialnumber (number eight, for example,) and then they turn overtheir phone to see which classmate they will meet with to discuss their solution, building their communication skills.

Mrs. Stockstill also encourages discussion in her class-room, with the goal that students see that more than one pathto a solution is almost always possible. Students share theiranswers on the white board, and then that leads to furtherdiscussion around the Harkness table where students faceeach other in a large oval. “Our goal is to create agile thinkerswho can problem solve by working together and generatingcreative solutions to the problems of the future. This requiresthat they know how to work collaboratively as a grouparound a table and have a solid foundation in careful reading,excellent writing, and number fluency. They must also have a facility for research and turning data into knowledge,” Dr. Greenwood says. Using and strengthening 21st CenturySkills in their classrooms, students move forward through the curriculum while developing important learning and innovation skills that they will need for the boardrooms,courtrooms, and classrooms of their futures. ■

LITTLE BITS OF CREATION

THE MAKER MANTRA, ACCORDING TO THE MAKERSPACE PLAYBOOK, IS

“If you can imagine it, you can make it.”STUDENTS THRIVE IN HARBOR DAY’S NEW MAKERSPACES, LEARNING

THROUGH HANDS-ON TINKERING AND MAKING.

If you attended the Back-to-School Picnic in the fall, you couldn’t miss theMaker Faire stations setup by the entrance, where Harbor Day librarian Mrs.Mailloux and Director of Technology Mr. Gapp encouraged students andtheir families to participate in projects like building with Legos, designing amarble ramp, or investigating circuits with “Little Bits.”


The Makerspace movement began atHarbor Day almost by accident lastyear, when the School received two3D printers as a gift. Mr. Gapp

explored how to take advantage of the toolswith his students. His research into whatother schools were doing led him to Makemagazine and the Makerspace movement. He worked with Mrs. Mailloux to developstructured opportunities for students to experiment and build. Not even a year later,evidence of their work can be found in thecomputer lab, library, art room, woodshop,and even the garden.

The scope of Makerspaces encompasses Kinder-garten through Eighth Grades. In the earlier

grades, activities are mostly focused on tinkering—building with different materials like cardboard,glue, scissors, tape, and sticks, or designing andconstructing a marble ramp, or experimenting withsimple circuits. Coding is also a component, but aseparate one, using the app “Codable,” which isgeared toward the younger grades. Then in gradesfour and five, coding and building are combinedwith a basic robotics project, which Science TeacherMr. Rimlinger later builds on. Mr. Gapp teaches aSeventh and Eighth Grade elective that uses the 3Dprinter to build components that students use inprojects that involve electronics and programming.

Mr. Gapp says, “At the Upper School level, students are making objects using the 3D printer,glue, circuits, wires, bulbs, electronics—marryingwoodshop with technology.” He adds with a bigsmile, “I am so lucky that this is something that’spopular, because this is exactly what I used to do asa kid.”

The Makerspace movement at Harbor DaySchool is still growing, and Mr. Gapp and Mrs.Mailloux are enhancing the program as they goalong. Students can look forward to another MakerFaire coming up in the near future. In the mean-time, the powerful learning through experimentingand creating will continue. ■

FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS

In 1947, the first-ever Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Junior Art Exhibit was established. This was a

way to celebrate the artistic achievements and talents of young, budding artists. This past summer,

Harbor Day School was greatly represented in this Festival of Arts by having ten student pieces

chosen for the exhibit. These ten artists were chosen from over a thousand works of art from

students across Orange County. It is an immense achievement for our School to have this many

students represented in one show. This is a great example of how important arts education is for

children. At the time, First Grade students Campbell Duke and Courtney McKenna received First

Place for the PIMCO Award in their grade level division. Way to go, Harbor Day artists! ■

On July 5, 2014, Ethan Vovan (’14)organized the first annual NewportCube Day, a cubing competition atHarbor Day School. Approximately50 Rubik’s Cube enthusiasts from

all over Southern California (and a few from Arizona) travelled to HDS to participate in this exciting day.

The competition began at 8:00 a.m. and included such events as the 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4,and 5x5x5 Cube speed solving, one-handed solving, blindfolded solving, Pyraminx solving,Skewb solving, and Rubik’s Clock solving. Foreach event, competitors had five attempts tosolve the cube. Judges timed competitors anddeclared the person who averaged the fastesttime for each event as the winner.

Ethan first learned to solve a Rubik’s Cubewhen he was in Fifth Grade after he attended MathField Day with Mrs. Stockstill and witnessed peo-ple solving the challenging puzzle. He thought,“Oh, I want to be able to do that!” He immediatelywent out and bought a Rubik’s Cube. Two weekslater, he had learned to solve it. Gradually, withpractice, he got faster. His current record for solving the original Rubik’s Cube is 9.77 seconds.

As an eighth grader, Ethan competed in hisfirst cube competition at Caltech in Pasadena,California, but it astonished him that no othercompetitions existed more locally. He thoughtthere would be interest in Orange County, so hedecided to organize a cube competition himself.He asked Athletic and Facilities Director, Mr. Cole-man, if he could use HDS as a competition site.

Once he verified he could use the School, hebegan organizing the event. He needed an officialjudge, people to help run the event, and, of course,cubes – lots of cubes!

Although Ethan was the only HDS-affiliatedstudent to compete during the day, several alumni and current students assisted with theevent, including Will King (’14), Noah Martin (’14), Eamon Niknafs, Sarah Martin, Peyton Vovan, andMakenzie Vovan. Ethan looks forward to hostinga second Newport Cube Day at Harbor Day Schoolsoon. He encourages all who are interested tocompete or attend.

As for the day itself, Ethan felt it was a hugesuccess. He said, “I enjoyed the process of organ-izing the event a lot. I thought that just being ableto host a cube competition for so many peoplewas the best part.” ■

PAGE 16 BEACON — FALL/WINTER 2014

The BEACON may look vastly different than it did 40 years ago, but has remained Harbor Day School’s chief publication. It continues to be an im-portant communication piece examining Harbor Day School’s academics,achievements, and events. In essence, chronicling our School’s history.

In a black and white newspaper-like format, the BEACON, beginning in the 1970’s, contained current events including everything from admission

updates and class trip experiences to school buildingprojects and the coverage of HDS events. Many of these events are traditions we celebrate today likeGrandparents’ Day and the Holiday program.

Important messages were featured from JohnMarder, former headmaster, keeping all families apprisedof all school related matters. Here is an excerpt takenfrom John Marder, Jr.‘s “Headmaster’s Log” in June1981: “The two essentials common to an outstandingindependent school are a strong and dedicated facultyand an active and supportive volunteer force. The inde-

pendent school structure is unable to establish itself as outstanding in the absence of either element. HarborDay School, over the fourteen-year period I have servedas Headmaster, has been blessed with both.”

Fast forward nearly four decades, and it wasn’t until2007 that the Beacon was printed in full-color. A fewyears later the format and focus of the Magazine took aslight shift. In 2011, the School moved toward moreelectronic-based communications and the BEACONbecame more story driven rather than news driven. This allowed Harbor Day School to focus its efforts on maintaining and upholding the School’s mission. This shift is just another phase as this vital institutionalstaple continues to evolve. ■

This year’s Thanksgiving Program on Tuesday, November 25 reflected work that thechildren have done this fall in the music room, as well as in their classrooms. Themusic and readings were American, folk-based, and traditional and they spoke to thevalues that holidays like Thanksgiving represent. Third graders gave a first person account of the First Thanksgiving and they were joined by the second graders to read Native American poetry. The program ended with the traditional Thanksgiving song,“Over the River”. ■
