Classical Manners for the Modern Youth
From the 1934 high-school textbook Good Manners used in "Household Science" class of that day:

"Rule No. 186.  Cleanliness.  School lavatories and toilets must be kept clean.  Never be careless with waste materials, or do anything to clog the plumbing.  Newspapers, fruit peeling, boxes, and other waste must be thrown into the waste-baskets.  No boy or girl would do otherwise in his own home.  To mark, or carve, or write on the walls is not only a thoughtless act, but a serious offense.  Do not leave personal property in the school dressing-room.
 
"Remember the old saying, 'Fools' names, like their faces, often appear in public places.'
 
"Rule No. 187.  Respect for Rights of Others.  Keep your wraps in your locker.  Do not leave money or valuables where they may tempt someone.  Take your rubbers, umbrella, books; and be sure you do not have those that belong to someone else.
 
"All food and gum should be left in your locker.  You are apt to get into trouble if it is brought into the classroom."

One Eagle.  Many Games. The day is now upon us. The event has finally arrived.  The competitions are shaping up to be fierce.  Valuable House and Order points are at stake in the competition for the 16-17 Neenan Cup (high school) and Soaring Eagle (next year's 8th-grade Orders).  This is one event you will not want to miss.  A great way to take it all in will be to volunteer to help us run the event. The event is this Friday, May 20th, and is shaping up to be an incredible day of fun for students with a wide variety of competitions planned.  We are in need of several parent volunteers to help make the day run smoothly.  If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Domus Temperantiae House Captain James Conrady or sign up on the websites below:

Live Long And Prosper.   Heading into "finals week," and with Eagle Games coming up on Friday, it's a palpable reality that the school year is winding down - just nine school days left.  Twelve of our ninety eighth graders will be moving on to attend other high schools and will not be returning as LCHS freshmen in August.  We are sure going to miss them all.  Nonetheless, we're excited about their journeys, we know they are all very well prepared for high-school success at their various chosen destinations, and we heartily wish them well.  The Liberty family will always be proud of these fantastic students.  Their imminent "former-Liberty-student" status means they'll always be loved, cheered, and admired by their erstwhile Liberty peers, instructors, and administrators.  In the meantime, the next nine days will be cherished, savored and filled with great education, great friends, great fun, and great memories.  
 
Free-Dress Day. In honor of the LCHS women's soccer team winning its playoff game over the weekend, and in anticipation of another victory in its upcoming quarter-final contest, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 17th is hereby declared a Free-Dress Day for all LCHS students in grades 7 - 12.

Parents of students receiving recognition at the Academic Awards Night will be notified. However, all students are encouraged to attend.  The Leadership and Extracurricular Celebration will be held at the end-of-the-year Lyceum on Thursday, May 26th from 1:05-3:15pm in the LCHS Great Hall.

Norway Constitution Day.  Students in Norway get a day off tomorrow, Tuesday, (Syttende Mai) May 17th for the country's Constitution Day - Nasjonaldagen (The National Day) - which commemorates the signing of Norway's constitution in 1814.  In honor of LCHS's two Norwegian exchange students Catherine Holtmoen and Andreas Noodt, the Norwegian Flag will fly over the school all day tomorrow, we'll hold a lunchtime Folkeltog (traditional people's parade) around the Great Hall, and anyone who has a bunad (Norwegian national costume) may wear theirs to school.  Sorry, we can't give students the day off, but "Skål!" nonetheless.  Liberty will miss you both when you return to Norway in just two short weeks.  Adjø, God tur!
 
Scarlett To Korea.  This summer, LCHS English instructor Mrs. Natalie Scarlett will be teaching a conversational English class at our sister school, Gyeseong Girls' School in Seoul, Korea.

Hiring The Best Instructors
By:  Bob Schaffer, LCHS principal
 
Liberty's team of classroom instructors is widely regarded as being among the nation's best.  Our school's rigorous screening and hiring processes contribute to the school's history of consistently attracting and retaining high-quality instructors in classrooms spanning kindergarten through twelfth grade. 
Mr. Torgun Lovely, Assistant Principal, Liberty Common High School. 
 
On a near weekly basis, school leaders from throughout the state and country (and on a few occasions, from other nations) visit Liberty to observe our instructors in action.  The first questions these visitors pose are almost always the same:  How do you find these outstanding teachers and how do you persuade them to work here?
 
Liberty Common School hires only the best professionals in their field and scope of practice.  All applicants are thoroughly and rigorously screened before even being considered for employment. 
 
An applicant's philosophical alignment with the school is crucial. The sixth of seven principles upon which Liberty Common School's Mission Statement is derived asserts:
 
Teachers are professionals.  This implies considerable autonomy, mastery, and independence.  Having accepted the academic and philosophic mission of a school, the teacher needs to be free to exercise informed judgment in order to fulfill his or her primary role as an educator.
 
As a charter school, Liberty employs all instructors, administrators and support staff on an "at will" basis.  All employment contracts are individually negotiated with each instructor. 
Dr. Polhemus teaching Physics class. 
 
This means Liberty instructors are hired on a truly professional basis (not on a union-wage scale) earning compensation commensurate with their contribution to the organization and professional growth as determined by thorough and routine professional evaluations.  Annual pay raises are a direct function of demonstrated classroom performance and institutional leadership.
 
Holding a state teacher license is not required for employment at our school.  We agree with 2012 findings of Colorado Commissioner of Education Robert Hammond and State Director of Professional Licensing Dr. Jamie Goetz that a state-issued teacher license is not an indication of one's ability to teach and is unreliable in affirming one's instructional competence.  
 
When Liberty posts job openings, we stress first and foremost the importance of content expertise.  We prefer teachers whose fields of study align with what they will teach to our students.  We recruit in atypical ways. 
 
For example, when we need an economics instructor, we contact business schools at multiple universities and spread the word directly to economics majors and graduates.  We contact academic institutions, policy organizations and think tanks, even specific prominent college professors we think might best help us alert top candidates to our job posting.

2nd Grade Teacher Assistant, Beth Huelle and 2nd Grade Teacher, Jenna Allen, participate in Greek Mall Day, a yearly celebration held in all three 2nd grade classes at Liberty Common School. 
To get an interview, an applicant must demonstrate strong background knowledge and an appreciation of classical methods of education and curriculum.  We require a letter of application, a current resume, college transcripts, professional references, and a statement of educational philosophy.  As a result, we typically receive applications from throughout the country for job openings at our school.
 
Our interview panels are comprised of key administrators, Members of the school's Board of Directors, school founders, grandparents, and parents with professional expertise relevant to the discipline for which we are hiring. 
 
The first portion of our interviews covers education philosophy and pedagogy.  Then we quickly dive deeply - very deeply - into the most important part of the conversation - content expertise. 
 
Our interview documents guide us through fundamental and expert-level academic questions.  Interviewees must demonstrate legitimate mastery of their subject matter, and they must be articulate in their explanations. 
 
Our inquiries plumb the depths of an applicant's academic preparation and training.  We simultaneously assess how clearly they explain things.  Do they communicate like an adept teacher?
Blake Morgan, Chemistry teacher at Liberty Common High School.   
 
We also mind what a potential employee believes about the principles of education.  Is it more important that students commit key information to memory, or be able to find it when needed?  What is the proper role of parents in a school?  Do you embrace the school's foundation-stone and capstone virtues?  If so, how should these virtues be reinforced through curriculum, in the classroom, and throughout the school?
 
Our interviews can last a couple hours; often more.  CLICK HERE to see a video of Liberty instructors recalling their job interviews. 
 
Those who rise to the top of our interview process are often asked to return to the school and teach a demonstration lesson to our students.  Adult observers typically line the back row taking notes and critiquing the performance.  Participating students fill out a survey after the lesson indicating which aspects of the mock lecture, in their opinion, had the greatest impact.  The lesson is videotaped.
Mrs. Kim Clouser, Latin Teacher,  LCS and LCHS. 

Once we are confident we have divined our top teacher candidate, an invitation is extended to join our organization, and a compensation offer is tendered.   

Upon acceptance of agreeable terms, we announce to the school community the addition of yet another outstanding member of the Liberty Common School faculty.  
News from the Board of Directors
What a great year it has been!  We are so thankful for the wonderful Liberty Common School community. 

At our May 12 Board meeting, we heard from our music department.  They are very proud of our students, as they should be.  The music department provides an outlet for our children to sing, play instruments, and express themselves onstage as they bring musical theater to life.  One new opportunity was the chance 4th graders had to try out all of the instruments before they committed to selecting one to play in band.  We are very grateful for all of the long hours it takes to help our students make such beautiful music. 

One of our Board committees has been working to create a collection of articles to be distributed to all families this August.  The collection titled, What Every Liberty Parent Should Know, will include articles written by experts such as E.D. Hirsh Jr. as well as Liberty administrators, teachers, and parents.  This assembly of articles explains the foundation of many of our philosophies.  It will give you a solid background of how the school functions and why.  Look for it this fall.
