Transcription

Our students, when we analyze the data, at times struggle with the language around questioning. Coding is a great practice for that, and so that practice helps students to become comfortable with thinking in a multistep, complex way to solve problems. I remembered that when I learned about the robot game from there. And it's kind of fun, because you have to, like, type in a word, like, go backwards three times, and it will listen. It's really cool. INTERPRETER: And I want the cat to throw the ball at the squirrel, and the squirrel in the hole hit him in the face. And because it's cold, his eyes will get funny and his cheeks will get red. INTERPRETER: I want him to land on the house. He keeps falling down. I like because I like to take all different kinds of animals and put them on the screen and make them move. INTERPRETER: Well, because computers, I enjoy computers. I enjoy making things. I enjoy it. It's good. INTERPRETER: Well, it's like playing a game. INTERPRETER: I like computers.

History

Founded in 1869, Boston School for the Deaf Mutes was established by the Boston School Committee.[3] Renamed after Horace Mann, an advocate for oralism, in 1877, HMS has since occupied many different buildings in and around Boston. At the school’s opening in November 1869, one group of HMS students attended classes in the morning in an available space on East Street while a second group of learners attended afternoon classes in a space on Somerset Street. After only two months, HMS was relocated within Pemberton Square where morning and afternoon classes were held for all students in the same location.[4]

In 1873 the State of Rhode Island began sending deaf students to Mann instead of the American Asylum. Rhode Island stopped sending them to Mann after it established the Rhode Island School for the Deaf in 1876.[5]

By 1875, the number of students attending Horace Mann School had increased and a larger space was required. As a result, the school was moved to 63 Warrenton Street. In 1890, the school was relocated again.[6] From 1890-1929, HMS was located at 178 Newbury Street. After nearly forty years on Newbury Street, in 1929, Horace Mann School began to operate out of the Roxbury section of Boston on Kearsarge Avenue where it remained for the next forty-five years. Finally, in 1975, another building was selected to house the school. Since 1975 and for the last 42 years, Horace Mann School has been and is currently located at 40 Armington Street, Allston, MA.[7]

Several well-known historical figures such as Alexander Graham Bell and Helen Keller have been associated with Horace Mann School in its earlier years.

The Horace Mann School serves students from age three to 22.
