In 1957, Arnie collaborated with students and a colleague to create the Iota Society, which for ten years offered seminars, concerts and trips to cultural events in New York for students and their parents. In 1970, Arnie joined students in the creation of the Great Neck Village School, one of the first public alternative high schools in the USA. In 1975, Arnie became the first principal of Mountain Open High School in Colorado, which was praised as "a model for the reform of secondary education." As Administrator of Alternative Education for Denver Public Schools, Arnie received a grant from the US Labor Department in 1988 to develop High School Redirection, an alternative school for at-risk inner-city students, most of whom the conventional school system had abandoned. Arnie discussed HSR in "Empowering Students to Shape Their Own Learning," his chapter in Public Schools That Work, edited by Gregory Smith. He also contributed a chapter entitled "Caring and Engagement" to Restructuring Education, published in 1990 by the Colorado Department of Education. Arnie received the Colorado Governor's Award for Educational Excellence in 1991.ver menos
