A Rye Neck Counselor Takes on Education for a New AgeRye Neck High School K-12 administrator Valerie Feit has coauthored a new book that looks toward a future of hybrid, community-based education.

“Timely, needed, and fresh, Dr. Feit provides strategies on how students can become engaged self-navigators and contributing citizens encountering authentic challenges in their communities and the larger world. What is particularly impressive is the wealth of striking examples from high school students displaying confidence and insight as they engage in a remarkable array of investigations. These learners are lit. Compelling and imaginative, this is a must-view for any [parent] or educator wanting to help their learners be’ ethical, analytic, and enthusiastic about facing the future.”

New research published in 2020 by Teachers College Press at Columbia University points to the future of education: online, student-centered, collaborative, participatory, community-based, and project-based. In their book, Student Research for Community Change, Drs. Valerie Feit and William Tobin present an analytical and ethical research method that works in content areas from STEM to the humanities to athletics and can also be used to address community challenges. “I believe many parents and students in the country are questioning how to stay engaged with an outdated curricular model – and students clearly say they need experiences that deepens learning and are meaningful,” says Feit. “We want to help move that frontier forward, because ultimately, it is the future”.
