SMARTS Mentors and Mentees Build a Community of Learners
The group of nineteen students bowling at Lanes and Games on Saturday, January 26th shared a bond that any outsider would be unlikely to guess: they’re all part of the SMARTS  mentoring program, a research-based, peer mentoring program that pairs high school, college, and post-college mentors with younger students with learning differences. The goal of SMARTS is to instill perseverance, confidence, self-knowledge, and resilience in the mentees as well as the mentors.
“At ResearchILD, we help students with learning differences to recognize their strengths so they can utilize them as much as possible,” explained Dr. Lynn Meltzer, Director of the Research Institute for Learning and Development.
“Too often students with learning differences focus on their weaknesses. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. We help kids to understand both so they can succeed.”
 Looking at the huge grins and hearing the laughter from the SMARTS students on Saturday, it seems hard to believe that these students face daily challenges with their academic work. The SMARTS program strives to bring students with different learning profiles together to help them support each other,especiallyacademically and socially. The mentors and mentees are paired for the duration of the 2007-2008academic year, and keep in touch with weekly phone calls and twice monthly get-togethers. About once a month, the mentor and mentee pairs come together for a group event, just as they did on Saturday. Such group events provide social opportunities and a social network for the mentor and mentee pairs.
The SMARTS program is only in its second year, but it has already had a life-changing impact on many of its participants, particularly 15 year old Kayla, a mentor for the program. She emphasized how much she has benefited from meeting other students with learning differences. “I went to a really small school, so I wanted to meet some more people. Plus I was one of the only kids who went to a tutor at my school, which made m e feel different. But with the SMARTS kids, we all share the common bond of having a learning difference, which is so great.”While Kayla is enjoying being a SMARTS mentor presently, she noted that she would have benefited from having a mentor of her own when she was even younger. “I didn’t tell my friends about my learning difference. I kept it a secret. It would’ve been nice to have someone to talk to about it. People tried to help me out by printing out a list of famous people with disabilities, but it just wasn’t the same as knowing people with learning disabilities like I do now.” Twelve year old Alexa alsospoke highly of her mentor, Lily , noting that Lily has been one of the most positive influences in her life: “She taught me to believe in myself, and that I can do anything if I work hard. She also taught me to just be myself; not anyone else,” she asserted. “Lily is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.”
Cisco Funds Drive to Thrive Program for Second Year
The exciting Drive to Thrive program in the Acton Schools moves into Phase II with generous support from Cisco Systems' Civic Council. Building on the success of last year, ResearchILD continues to collaborate with FableVision and the Douglas and Gates elementary schools to help students achieve success. Teachers and students are receiving instruction in research proven strategies supported by the innovative BrainCogs software, developed by ResearchILD and FableVision. ResarchILD, looks forward to working with young leaders who will form the “BrainCogs Squad”, a group of students who reinforce the strategies they are learning by teaching each other. ResearchILD hopes to work with Cisco and FableVision to find ways to scaffold the Drive to Thrive program into more school districts.
ResearchILD’s 4th Annual Pathways to Success Benefit a Major Success
Bunches of brightly colored balloons and beautiful flower arrangements filled the lobby of the Westin Waltham  Hotel on November 8th as the Research Institute for Learning and Development held its 4th annual Pathways to Success Benefit. The event raised funds for ResearchILD, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering students with learning differences to learn HOW to learn.
The event was planned and orchestrated by our hard-working and dedicated benefit committee including chairs Gwenn Snider, Mary Jean Keany, and Deb Barnes.
Guests were welcomed with a cocktail reception and classical piano music provided by ILD staff member Laura Sales Pollica During the reception, a silent auction offered many valuable items such as a horseback riding weekend and an autographed script from the popular TV show “Monk”.
A live auction featured many exciting opportunities for guests to bid on items such as Boston Celtics tickets, a professionally catered dinner for eight, a tour of Cape Canaveral and lunch with an astronaut, and tickets to HBO’s Entourage season 5 premiere. The celebrity auctioneer for the evening was KISS 108 radio personality Matt Siegel, host of the number one morning radio show “Matty in the Morning”.
 The evening featured moving and motivating speakers who spoke about the many challenges faced by children and adults with learning differences. The founders of ResearchILD, Dr. Lynn Meltzer and Dr. Bethany Roditi, discussed the innovative programs being developed at the institute. One project, the SMARTS mentoring program, pairs younger learners with older role models who share strategies for effectively managing the academic and social challenges faced by students with learning and attention differences. Billy Warren and Lily Corman Penzel, student mentors whose lives have been changed by their experiences with SMARTS, shared their stories of success. Karen Economopoulos, a parent of a child in the program, moved the audience to tears with her tale of watching her struggling student turn into an empowered learner. The key note speaker was Peter H. Reynolds, president of FableVision and New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, whose books about protecting and nurturing the creative spirit have won many honors and awards. Peter is an advocate for “off the path” learners and shared his passion for imagination and creativity with a captive audience.
Two prestigious awards were also given out at this event. The Drive to Thrive Award, sponsored by the Jack and Thelma Segal fund, was presented to Michael Gongwer and Zach Rosenfield. The Pathways to Success award was presented to Ben Rogers, a former ILD student, and current 10th grade teacher, who se success has resulted from his determination and motivation." These students exemplify the effort, persistence, and resilience that these awards honor” said Dr. Meltzer, “They should be very proud of their achievements.”This special evening highlighted the important work being done at ResearchILD. “This year’s benefit was so gratifying. We raised over $145,000,” said Gwenn Snider, benefit co-chair, “The committee worked hard to create an evening that celebrated the important work of ResearchILD and the children who thrive because of that work. We are determined to build on our success next year and welcome anyone who wants to join us in making the 5th annual benefit another record breaking event.” The mission of the Institute is to develop and disseminate instructional strategies and materials to empower all students to recognize their unique strengths so they can learn how to learn. Through research, professional development, and scholarship support, ResearchILD helps all learners find their unique pathways to academic and life success.
Drive to Thrive Award
Sponsored by the Jack and Thelma Segal Fund
The Drive to Thrive award recognizes those students with learning or attention weaknesses who show exceptional effort, persistence, goal-orientation and resilience, characteristics that are more important predictors of life success than skill level or intelligence. This award was established to honor Dr. Jack Segal, an outstanding physician, diagnostician and global thinker who epitomized the drive to thrive with his energy, passion, creativity, humor, persistence and resilience.

Michael Gongwer is a freshman at Acton Boxborough High School. For the past four years he has been coming to ILD for academic support and strategy instruction. He works extremely hard to keep up with his often overwhelming schedule. At age 14 he is already working towards his future with anticipation and direction by planning to be a CIT at his summer camp and composing music with his friends. Aside from a full course load, Michael continues to push himself outside of the classroom as an accomplished guitarist, a stunt skier and athlete. |
Zach Rosenfield is a seventh grade student at Diamond Middle School in Lexington. He has shown persistence during his sessions at ILD and in the classroom where his teachers have always complimented his “great attitude, attention, and motivation”. Recently Zach showed his exceptional drive to thrive at his bar mitzvah, where he read perfectly in Hebrew and in English and gave an amazing speech, all the result of hours of work and lots of practice. Beyond these serious endeavors, Zach has taken on skim boarding, karate, and social connections with the same spirit. |
Ben Rogers recently graduated from Simmons College with a Master’s Degree in Education. He now has a wonderful teaching position as a Learning Center Teacher for 10th graders at Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall. “I feel great teaching my own students all the strategies that I learned at ILD. Being able to teach students multiple ways to make their lives less stressful and easier academically is so rewarding. I feel I have grown immensely both as a learner and as an individual. ILD helped me become a successful teacher in the classroom. It is very rewarding to help young high school students learn to overcome their learning obstacles. I can now say that I understand what it means to give back what you have learned”. During his free time Ben participates in the SMARTS mentoring program at ResearchILD, plays golf, works out, and enjoys hanging out with friends. |

Brain Cogs Squad Culminates Drive to Thrive Project in Acton, MA
Cathy Cherkerzian's 5th grade class in the Douglas School in Acton, is abuzz with excitement. Students have organized themselves into a strategy "fair," sharing best practices for strategy development and application, with other classrooms and visitors from ResearchILD, Cisco Systems and FableVision. During the 2006-2007 academic year Mrs. Cherkerzian's class along with three other 6th grade classes at the DouglasSchool participated in ResearchILD's Drive to Thrive strategy instruction initiative, a joint program with FableVision, funded by Cisco.
 Throughout the year, teachers provided instruction to enhance academic strategies that foster effort and persistence, processesthat are important predictors of life success. A fundamental component of the Drive to Thrive program is BrainCogs, an interactive multi-sensory software application designed to tap into each student's unique learning style and develop personal strategies for learning how to organize, prioritize, shift approaches flexibly, memorize, and check over their work. The BrainCog squad offered a selected group of students an opportunity to act as mentors for their peers. These students served as "experts" on the Brain Cogs program, guiding and assisting their classmates as they engaged in online lessons and activities. During the class’s Strategy Fair Share, BrainCog Squad participants welcomed visitors and encouraged them to experience the software program firsthand. After a brief taste of strategy instruction, visitors were invited to visit with students who were stationed at their desks and ready to discuss their favorite strategy and display some of its applications. From crazy phrases for multiplying fractions to cartoons for remembering revolutionary battles, each student enthusiastically discussed at least 1-2 favorite strategies that he or she had personalized and used to improve their reading, writing, spelling, math, and performance on tests. One student after another recounted the numerous ways they utilized the strategies, and each was clearly energized by the opportunity to share the techniques that have improved their academic performance over the last year.
2nd Annual SMARTS Fair is a Major Success
“In looking back I know I would have really liked help from someone, who was just a bit older than me, who experienced the same problems in school. Someone who could empathize with me and someone who I could have talked to about my difficulties. Now I know I can be that someone for my mentee,” (Allie, 16 yr old SMARTS mentor and Student Leadership founding member).
On Sunday, May 20th, 80 students from elementary through high school and college gathered at ResearchILD to celebrate a year of peer mentoring as part of the innovative and exciting SMARTS Mentoring program. The  2nd annual SMARTS fair, organized by the ResearchILD Student Leadership committee, comprised overtwenty activities and targeted the eight different intelligences necessary for success in school and life. TheOlympics-themed fair included colorful booths with creative titles such as “verbal-thon,” and “reach for the top,” consisted of craft projects, logic games, poetry, and athletic challenges.
Beyond acknowledging multiple intelligences and encouraging strategic thinking, SMARTS mentoring provides younger students with role models who have faced similar challenges in school. The goal of SMARTS is to foster confidence, persistence, and resilience, the foundations of academic and life success. Matt Barrie, an 18 year old high school senior, has worked on the SMARTS Student Leadership committee over the past year because he wishes he had had a mentor to help him realize what’s possible. He commented that,“Inow want to be that someone for a younger student, being a SMARTS mentor is a privilege. It is great to be able to talk to these younger students and to tell them that they can succeed and need to believe in themselves.”
As younger students moved between the different booths, they were paired with prospective mentors who have undergone extensive training and an in-depth application process to become mentors in the program. For parents it’s a relief to see their students receiving the extra support from peers that is so hard to get in school and that is crucial for success and self-esteem. SMARTS Advisory committee member, Kalyani Krishnan, remarked, “it’s so uplifting to see older students taking time out of their hectic schedules to be positive role models for others.”
The SMARTS mentoring program hopes to expand and to increase the number of students it serves. SMARTS Program Coordinator, Matt Upton, plans to collaborate with schools in the Boston area in the future and to explore possibilities for a web- based mentoring program.
The SMARTS mentoring program is part of the Research Institute for Learning and Development (ResearchILD). ResearchILD is a not-for profit educational and research organization directed by Lexington residents, Dr. Lynn Meltzer and Dr. Bethany Roditi.The mission of ResearchILD is to create pathways to success for all learners and to empower students to “learn how to learn.” The goal of ResearchILD is to improve the lives of children, adolescents, and adults with learning and attention differences by conducting cutting-edge research and developing instructional tools that can be used at home and in school.
ResearchILD’s 3rd Annual Pathways to Success Benefit a Major Success
“It’s empowering to see a community come together in support of students and vital education research,” exclaimed a guest at Research Institute for Learning & Development’s 3rd Annual Pathways to Success Benefit, held on Thursday, October 5, at the Westin Hotel in Waltham.
 The night began with a cocktail reception and a silent auction, where attendees bid on everything from the award-winning ResearchILD software Brain Cogs and consultations with educational specialists to jewelry and theatre tickets. Entertainment was provided by classical pianist and ResearchILD staff member, Laura Sales Pollica. Attendees talked with staff, members of the ResearchILD Student Leadership Council, as well as SMARTS mentors and mentees.
“It’s incredibly powerful to see this much support for such an important cause,” enthused Kalyani Krishnan, just as student volunteers ushered everyone into the ballroom. Benefit co-chairs Beth Masterman and Gwenn Snider provided a warm welcome over dinner, which was followed by a lively auction organized and run by Laurie and Mason Tenaglia. Prizes included a private tour of Cape Canaveral and a special game package donated by the Boston Celtics.
Student Leadership Council members, Allie Lerner, Kayla Masterman and Matt Barrie discussed their experiences over the years with learning differences and the important impact of ResearchILD’s new SMARTS Mentoring Program on younger students with learning difficulties. Matt explained, “It’s great to talk to these younger students and tell them that they can succeed and need to believe in themselves.” A dose of informative humor came from Dr. Jeff Prince, an Instructor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Prince’s presentation, featuring cross sections of the human brain and Sesame Street characters, provided insights on the biological reasons for attention and learning differences and different treatment approaches.
The festivities included the presentation of two prestigious awards. The first annual Drive to Thrive Award, sponsored by the Jack and Thelma Segal fund, was presented to two students whose effort, persistence, and resilience, epitomize the “drive to thrive.” Corinne Adams, a junior at Acton-Boxborough High School and Chace Nolen, a ninth-grader at the Cambridge School of Weston, were honored with plaques and checks for $150.00 each. The first annual Pathways to Success Award, was presented to Andrew Blair, a former ILD client and middle school teacher at the Compass School in Jamaica Plain, in recognition of his determination to overcome obstacles and achieve success, most recently demonstrated as he graduated summa cum laude from Lesley University with his M.Ed.
The evening was made possible through the dedication of a committee of volunteers headed by Gwenn Snider (Benefit chair) and Beth Masterman( Benefit chair) who, with the help of Debbie Barnes (Corporate donor chair) Laurie Tenaglia(Auction chair), Karen Caires, Cheryl Bloom, Pat Dipilo, Kate Lepore, Nancy Stone, Nina Warren, and Amanda Young, organized an incredible and highly successful event!

New England Civic Council will fund the entire study being
conducted at the Douglas School in Acton, Massachusetts,
which will span the full 2006-2007 school calendar. The
award will be celebrated as part of ResearchILD’s
7th Annual “Pathways to Success” Benefit this
Thursday October 5th at the Westin Hotel in Waltham, Massachusetts.
The
research study will include a new peer mentoring program,
as well as on-going professional development and support
for the educators at Douglas School. The year-long study
will also provide statistically significant research to
document the efficacy of BrainCogs® and EssayExpress™
- two software programs that are key components of this
unique research and technology-based academic improvement
program. The software was co-produced by ResearchILD and
FableVision, an internationally-recognized educational
media & technology developer and publisher. ResearchILD’s
President and Director of Research, Dr. Lynn Meltzer shares,
“We’ve spent over a decade converting research
into practical tools that actually reach and support all
learners – we expect that this study will further
our mission to help millions of learners – challenged

Systems is a long-time proponent of combining technology
and education to provide the tools that students need
to succeed,” explains Peg Lovett, Corporate Philanthropy
Project Lead with Cisco System’s New England Civic
Council. “We believe that this blend of technology,
media and research will help move the meter in improving
the performance of many schools in Massachusetts.”
Christopher
Whitbeck, Ed.D., principal of the Douglas School, is excited
about the new academic-research partnership. “The
educators here are dedicated and talented teachers who
are excited by their role as co-researchers in this study,”
adding, “We hope to make a significant contribution
to the understanding of how we as a nation can truly be
a learner-centric profession, shifting from simply covering
content to studying how children comprehend content and
this pilot will lead the way.”
This research project is part of the bigger initiative
called “Drive to Thrive: Fostering Persistence,
Effort, and Resilience”, which is a field research
initiative designed to identify predictors of life success
in students, especially those with learning and attention
difficulties. As Dr. Meltzer explains, “The program
develops learning strategies that foster effort and persistence,
processes that are more important predictors of life success
than IQ or skill level.” Dr. Bethany Roditi, Vice
President and Director of Education at the Research Institute
for Learning and Development understands it’s all
about scale, adding “Our goal is to bring this work
to as many students as we can and this generous support
from the Cisco Systems Foundation will lay the groundwork
