Stern Center for Language and Learning
FY15 Annual Report
A Message from the President
What a remarkable year FY15 has been! Strategic planning for the future of our wonderful
organization was punctuated by a $2 million endowment gift to the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence.
Although it remained challenging to meet service revenues and secure operations/ scholarship support, program
grants thrived, particularly one championed by Boon Philanthropy to bring BUILDING BLOCKS FOR LITERACY® to Head
Start centers nationally. Let me share our FY15 sequence of activities.
Last fall, at the midpoint of the 2020 Vision we developed in 2010, we began a strategic planning initiative not just
to achieve the vision but to sustain the Stern Center long into the future. Following a thoughtful review process,
we selected a planning consultant funded by a challenge grant inspired by Peter and Margie Stern. Together, we
articulated our distinction as an educational leader providing multidisciplinary programs grounded in brain science
and delivered with empathy.
Another fall highlight was the sale of 135 Allen Brook Lane, the building we vacated three years ago. We not only
saved $40,000 in annual carrying costs but also no longer have the concerns of managing an empty space with
pending capital expenditures. Although the selling price was lower than we hoped, a mortgage of only $149,000
remains on our current building.
Fall had barely turned to winter when we learned of an exceptional gift of $2 million to the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute
for Excellence from the personal estate of its namesake, Cynthia K. Hoehl. Her kind generosity enabled the Institute’s
Endowment to grow to $3 million from which a percentage of investment income provides grants to teachers and
school teams for professional learning programs as well as underwriting for instruction to students with family
incomes up to $125,000. As a result, more deserving students and teachers have access to Stern Center programs.
The Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute has subsequently increased its impact on schools throughout the state. At year end, we
had awarded $115,704 for customized professional learning programs in schools and $28,873 to students receiving
academic instruction including communication services.
The Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute thrives because of Cynthia’s passion for teachers as change agents for children’s
learning success. As a result, major professional learning projects have developed with Mater Christi School,
Orange North Supervisory Union, Orange Windsor/ Windsor Northwest Supervisory Union, and Franklin Northwest
Supervisory Union. Administrators and teachers have collaborated with us to help All Children Read by Grade 3.
Vermont has the chance to close both the achievement and opportunity gaps for learners.
Other private donors with visions to improve education have also supported three major projects this year totaling
$325,000: at one private school in Vermont, in one public school in Vermont, and through our national expansion of
BUILDING BLOCKS FOR LITERACY®. These donors have dreams to help others realize their own. We are profoundly
grateful to them.
Extending BUILDING BLOCKS nationally through a partnership with the National Head Start Association has been a
game changer in terms of enabling us to train trainers throughout the country to deliver BUILDING BLOCKS in their
local Head Start centers for children birth through age five. We began training in Texas in June and one trainer already
held her first training in Kentucky this summer. Others will train in FY16 as the project continues. We developed
webinars to market the relationship between BUILDING BLOCKS and the Class Scoring Assessment System® (CLASS)
used in Head Start.
FY15 saw the revitalization of our Evaluation program with talented program managers and evaluators. In response to
increased demand, we developed a mentorship program for summer evaluators, some of whom will return in FY16.
Evaluations are a signature service for the Stern Center and epitomize our multidisciplinary, empathic approach to
learning for all.
Instruction programs extended beyond our on-site services in Williston and West Lebanon, NH to new partnerships
with Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center and the Greenwood School. Our Supplemental Educational Services
grew with 126 students being seen in 23 schools. We also were pleased to begin instruction with student subjects
for our neuroimaging research grant study with Dartmouth College through the National Science Foundation.
Furthermore, we were delighted to resume our partnership with the University of Vermont College of Medicine by
providing Executive Functioning classes to first year medical students.
We were proud that our Communications Services program, which includes our highly regarded Social Thinking®
offerings, reached the Upper Valley in FY15. Professional Learning opportunities in social learning also expanded with
several new courses. What sets our Social Thinking® programs apart from traditional social skills training is that we
teach students how to think social.
Research received renewed focus this year with the establishment of a Board Research Committee. We are working
on the priority research areas of assessing efficacy of BUILDING BLOCKS longitudinally and school/district wide
professional learning collaboratives.
FY15 culminated with a Board Retreat that yielded recommendations to management for strategic planning. These
included honing our message for clarity and distinction, advancing technology organization wide, and extending our
systems approach to literacy. Stay tuned! And check out our newly revised website in late fall, which also evolved in
FY15.
Each fiscal year feels like no other can ever compare. Surely FY15 had that feeling given all
the good that was given and received. And yet, each year has its own style, challenges and
successes. Thanks to all of you who made this year so memorable with special gratitude
to Cynthia K. Hoehl. Her $2 million gift is an investment in the future of the
Stern Center we all share on behalf of learners.

for Excellence
Our work at Mater Christi entered its second year
in 2015 bringing our Orton-Gillingham Classroom
Educator course directly to the Mater Christi
campus.
We received a consolidated Federal Grant from the
Washington Central Supervisory Union to provide
professional learning in literacy to the Orchard
Valley Waldorf School.
Fellowships were awarded to teachers to work
at the Stern Center for four weeks, following
completion of the Orton-Gillingham Associate Level
course offered this June. This lab model benefited
our students, who received reduced cost services,
and their instructors who enjoyed ongoing coaching.

Champions for Children
In May 2015, three Vermont women, Mary Burns, Director of the Burlington YMCA, Julie
Cadwallader-Staub, Grant Director for the Early Learning Challenge—Race to the Top
grant for the state of Vermont, and Blanche Podhajski, Founder and President of the Stern
Center for Language and Learning, were honored by the Turrell Fund. Each was given the
Turrell Champion Award.
In addition to being named as a Turrell Champion,
Dr. Podhajski was also invited to give a presentation
to 100 people on 21st Century Learning, which
encouraged activism from the audience relative to
using brain science to drive effective practices for
literacy from birth to adulthood.
The Turrell Champion Award is given to individuals
who demonstrate the furthering of the Turrell Fund
vision, mission and values in important and lasting
ways. There have only been five Champions named
in the 12-year history of the recognition program.

Our Scholar-Shop: Books! Event brought together Vermont
authors and book fans for an evening of fine conversation, wine, and
generosity to support the Cynthia K. Hoehl Institute for Excellence.
Great Minds on the Spot: Improv for a Cause brought
back to Vermont Steve Waltien, son of our late Board Chair Stevenson
Waltien, for two evenings of comedy improv raising funds for our Annual
Scholarship Program.
This was our first year as a nonprofit partner with the Vermont
City Marathon’s Miles for Mission. Stern Center team
members ran to raise funds for our Annual Scholarship Program.
For far too long I watched as my son struggled through
school, frustrations mounting, his self-confidence
fading. In the past year and a half that he has
attended the Stern Center he has shown consistent
improvement. He is reading at grade level, something
he had never been able to master. He has improved in
areas of fluency, decoding, and vocabulary. All of these
strides have bolstered his confidence and calmed the
feelings of frustration. Although I knew my son needed
help, I thought that tutoring was out of the question.
We simply could not afford it. Thanks to the generosity
of others; tutoring for my son was made possible.
I don’t think that mere words could ever express our
gratitude. Simply saying thank you doesn’t seem to say
enough to those people who have given so much to help
my son reach his potential.
