But with teachers and counselors on board, and the fellows being welcomed to the classroom twice a week, this is becoming part of the fabric of the school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Buchanan teaches ninth-grade wellness at Southbridge High School and has been part of the MAAX implementation since the beginning. \u201cThe curriculum is fantastic,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are a lot of useful lessons that force our kids to be reflective about their academics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Southbridge has long been considered a struggling school district. In 2016, underperformance on key indicators, such as attendance, graduation, and MCAS scores, combined with high dropout rates, resulted in state receivership (where the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education took control to support the district\u2019s turnaround). Since that time, Southbridge has seen growth in many areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The page is turning, Buchanan says, and he sees more students getting excited about extending their academic careers. Students who once assumed college wasn\u2019t for them are rethinking their futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buchanan recalls a MAAX lesson where students visited the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to research the qualifications needed for certain jobs based on a \u201cdream life map\u201d they had created in an earlier class. \u201cI thought they might find it dry, but they got really into it, and they worked extraordinarily hard. Some of them even kept what they learned in mind when they were planning their class schedules for the subsequent terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond academics, the MAAX program \u2014 and the Mosakowski Fellows \u2014 helped create a true classroom community. \u201cEvery high school in America has different groups of students who socialize outside of the classroom, but not in the classroom,\u201d Buchanan says. \u201cThe social-emotional learning curriculum encourages them to step out of their comfort zone and work with students they may not normally interact with, discovering shared experiences. That\u2019s a huge unifier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that the MAAX lessons were led by college students who are only six or seven years older than the ninth-graders also helps. \u201cI can give them my experience, but I\u2019m 20 years removed from college,\u201d Buchanan says. \u201cThe mentors are <em>in <\/em>college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Ariel Rodriguez \u201926 works with students at Southbridge High School.\" class=\"wp-image-25383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Souithbridge-Ariel-Rodriguez-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ariel Rodriguez \u201926 works with students at Southbridge High School.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018They see themselves in the future\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t teach math or science,\u201d Edwards-Roseney says. \u201cWe teach skills. And we try to teach them in ways students learn best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one lesson, the mentors talked about different types of learners \u2014 visual, auditory, or kinetic. Based on their learning style, each student took notes while Edwards-Roseney taught them how to build a paper airplane. Some drew pictures, while others wrote down the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t remember in high school learning to take notes,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/2025\/05\/14\/kennedy-messado-looks-to-have-maaximum-impact\/\">Kennedy Messado \u201925<\/a>, a Mosakowski Fellow for three of her four years at Clark. \u201cIf I had learned from ninth grade, my entire high school career would have been different. I love teaching them what we know as college students and what we had to relearn as college students. There\u2019s also the plus side of being taught by students instead of their regular teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mentors\u2019 presence is a tangible reminder to the Southbridge students that college is possible. Fellow Ariel Rodriguez \u201926 advocated for community college as an option if cost is a concern. A Worcester native, he graduated from Quinsigamond Community College before transferring to Clark for his junior year. \u201cThere\u2019s a QCC branch campus in Southbridge High School,\u201d Rodriguez says, and high school students are eligible to take college courses before graduating. \u201cI told them how special that was, and how they could take advantage of it and get credits they wouldn\u2019t be able to get anywhere else. I tell them about my experience at QCC and how it reinvigorated my passion for education and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice having the opportunity to build relationships with the students,\u201d Edwards-Roseney says. A former Clark basketball player, he competed in the Southbridge teachers-versus-students game. \u201cThey enjoyed seeing me dunk,\u201d he says with a laugh, adding that some of the students called him Big Nate or Fro-Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students were given a glimpse into higher education during a field trip to the Clark campus, where they toured academic buildings, ate in the dining hall, and learned about the college experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Southbridge High School students use the MI PEACE app\" class=\"wp-image-25377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/Southbridge-MI-PEACE-app.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Southbridge High School students use the MI PEACE app, which offers mental health resources and check-ins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018A new way of approaching school mental health\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second Southbridge CARES tool, MI PEACE, is a customizable app that provides social-emotional learning resources, mental health check-ins and assessments, and insights for school counselors. The school can control access to various widgets, such as breathing techniques and mindfulness exercises, and students get reminders if they should engage with the app. \u201cIt\u2019s about supporting young people in their behavioral health and also collecting secure data points for their counselors,\u201d Ward says. The app tracks and monitors care coordination so a school counselor can easily check in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey now have more data and information in front of them to help improve their practice and help students feel better. And if kids are feeling better, that means they&#8217;re coming to school more often, they&#8217;re doing better academically, they&#8217;re going to get promoted to the next grade level on time, and on and on and on,\u201d she continues. \u201cThat\u2019s the intent \u2014 to establish a new way of approaching comprehensive school mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The soon-to-open Sensory Immersion Room \u2014 the first of its kind in Massachusetts \u2014 integrates immersive technology, virtual reality, and sensory equipment to create customizable, calming, and therapeutic environments for adolescents, including those experiencing behavioral health challenges or sensory differences, to manage anxiety and decompress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark, local, and state officials will be on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception on Friday, Oct. 17, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at Southbridge High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through
