Individual Field Requirement Hathaway-Brown High School 5

Mr. Mose’s Art History Class
November 12, 2014
Focus: Diversity in the Classroom

Out of 16 students, only 3 to 5 students aren't "white" but this doesn't seem to be an effect anything in the classroom. Everyone is intermingled and no one is clumped by ethnicity or other "labels". Hathaway-Brown is an all girls school and all the girls in Mr. Morse's class seem to know one another and easily chat and joke with each other. Everyone participates in discussions and they seem to feel comfortable asking questions or suggesting new ideas in the classroom. Students are welcoming to one another and are respectful of each other's education and ability to learn to their fullest. This can be directed back at both Mr. Morse's environment he created in the classroom as well as the school's mission.
According to their website, "Hathaway-Brown is a dynamic and compassionate community dedicated to excellence in the education of girls. For us, educational excellence includes, but reaches well beyond, superb preparation for college. The true mission of the school, as reflected in our motto, "Non Scholae Sed Vitae Discimus," is preparation for life. At this moment in history, there is great need for women of vision and courage who are empowered for leadership in a multicultural and globalized society. We seek to answer that need by inspiring our students to achieve their utmost potential, and to rise boldly to the challenges of our times." At Hathaway-Brown, education is of utmost importance which is key in students reaching their full potential. The school has, with the help of the teachers, built an environment where all students are able to learn to their fullest.
