Scott Hecker ’87 (New England, MS Env. Studies) reports, “When I pursued my MS degree at Antioch, I helped establish the Programme for Belize to purchase 250,000 acres of rain forest. Now 30 years later, most of which was spent protecting Piping Plovers and Roseate Terns for Mass Audubon and National Audubon, I have circled back to the tropics. Since January 2016 I have combined my experiences protecting coastal birds with those protecting tropical habitats as Director of Bird Conservation for the International Conservation Fund of Canada.”

What if classrooms were envisioned as a small democracy? What if our students practiced democracy in their classroom year after year? Further, what if they knew they deserved it? Kate Sipe, ’02, Antioch University Seattle MA in Education with Graduate Teacher Preparation and an adjunct faculty who teaches Classroom Management courses, published a timely post in Medium in the wake of the 2020 Presidential election about the importance of democratic schools and teaching civics to our children: “Psst… Hey teachers… Let’s teach civics in our classrooms every single day.” Start today. Start small. Just start. Let your classroom be a microcosm
