SUMMARY:Teachers Conference - Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement
DESCRIPTION:The protests that followed the killings of members of our Black communities last spring served to wake many people up to the realities of racism in America—realities to which the Waldorf movement is not immune. Accepting the fact that racism exists within Waldorf Education and taking on the work of recognizing and eradicating it from our classrooms is a goal to which we must commit ourselves if we are to truly educate our children (and ourselves) toward freedom. \nTo this end\, Sunbridge’s Teachers Conference tackles the important task of uncovering racism in the Waldorf movement and identifying steps we must take to dismantle it. \nOver the course of three one-and-a-half-hour sessions taking place Friday evening and Saturday\, we will: \n\n\nDefine and articulate the ways many Waldorf school curricula center whiteness and set it up as an ideal\, to the detriment of all; \n\n\nUse the frameworks of racial identity formation and biography work to better understand how we become who we are in a racialized society and how that impacts our engagement with the children in our care; \n\n\nShare practical tools\, resources\, and success stories with the goal of dismantling racism in Waldorf schools and communities. \n\n\nJoin us over Zoom for this real-time\, virtual event. \n  \nFacilitators \nKeelah Helwig is currently an early childhood educator and chair of the Early Childhood program at The Waldorf School of Garden City (her alma mater). Keelah has served as chair of WSGS’s College of Teachers and is a founding member and chair of its Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Committee. She is proud to be a founding member of the Sunbridge Institute Diversity Scholarship Fund Committee and is also a Sunbridge Board trustee as well as a new WECAN Board trustee. A skilled facilitator\, mentor\, evaluator\, and shepherd\, Keelah is passionate about motivating school communities and inspiring lasting and meaningful change. Following her WSGS graduation\, Keelah earned a BA in theatre from Spelman College and her masters in early childhood education from Sunbridge College. \nVicki Larson\, director of communications and marketing at Green Meadow Waldorf School since 2011 and a founding member of Sunbridge’s Diversity Scholarship Fund Committee\, has been involved in anti-racism initiatives and community organizing for social justice for more than 20 years. Vicki has held positions in publishing\, resource development\, translation and interpretation (English/Spanish)\, international women’s human rights\, marketing\, communications\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. A skilled trainer/facilitator\, writer\, and editor who loves working with young people and adults\, she has been a consultant to Waldorf schools across the US since 2014. Vicki graduated with honors from the University of Florida in Gainesville with a major in English and minors in Religion and Women’s Studies. \nMeggan Gill is currently lead toddler teacher at City of Lakes Waldorf School. Between 2009 and 2020\, she was on the faculty of the Brooklyn Waldorf School\, leading parent-and-child and kindergarten classes and being active on the school’s Faculty Council and Board of Trustees. Prior to joining BWS\, she taught parent-and-child and nursery classes at NYC’s New Amsterdam School. Meggan\, who is also an adjunct faculty member in Sunbridge’s teacher education programs\, first learned about Waldorf Education when she visited the Olympia Waldorf School as part of her “Arts and the Child” class at Evergreen State College and soon thereafter began working in OWS’s extended day and early childhood programs. She earned her undergraduate degree in health sciences at Evergreen State and her certificate in Waldorf Early Childhood Education from Sunbridge. \nHeather Scott is currently a high school humanities teacher at The Waldorf School of San Diego.

SUMMARY:Balance Between Power and Trust: Creating Healthy Relationships Able to Withstand Tough Times
DESCRIPTION:The third of three virtual workshops in a series on Mindsets\, Concepts\, and Core Skills of Effective Collaborative Leadership for Waldorf administrators\, Board members\, faculty\, and staff\, plus those with decision-making responsibilities in other organizational and business settings. Each workshop may be taken separately. \n\n  \nThe (im)balance between power and trust is one of the most often observed phenomena in Waldorf schools and other organizations. While trust is highly rated\, power is often looked at as highly suspicious. \nIn introducing the “Rights Scale\,” presenting how to navigate the poles of power and trust\, and discussing how to work with them practically in a creative and responsible way\, this workshop will help you to: \n\nUnderstand that power and trust are both needed in order to generate innovation\, create healthy relationships\, and ensure successful organizations;\nLearn that power and trust are not to be looked at as adversaries but as necessary poles and complementary elements;\nOvercome the fear of being under the thumb of power\, as well as the illusion that trust can develop without clearly defined and agreed upon principles and boundaries.\n\n\n  \nFor other workshops in the series\, see also Seven Levels of an Organization: Understanding the Structure and Dynamics of Your Organization and Dialogue: The Four Phases of Decision-Making and the Practice of Deep Listening \n\n\n\n\nFacilitators \nJessica Heffernan Ziegler has been the executive director of Sunbridge Institute since 2008; previously\, she taught collaboration and group dynamics in Sunbridge College’s Administration\, Biography\, and Elementary Teacher Education programs. Jessica has worked as an executive coach and organizational development consultant for Waldorf school administrators and teachers\, as well as other professionals\, in diverse institutions and schools in both the US and Germany. She served as the first administrator and as a board member at a Waldorf school she co-founded in Everswinkel\, Germany; is a partner in MIRA Companions for Development\, an international consulting group; and sits on the boards of Manhattan’s Rudolf Steiner School and the Otto Specht School in Chestnut Ridge\, NY. Jessica who holds a BS in business management\, did her biography training with Karl-Heinz Finke and her executive coach training with SECA International. Her professional focus on leadership skills\, governance issues\, and personnel development are utilized in both her executive director position and in her work as co-instructor of Collaborative Leadership and its related workshops. \nJoachim Ziegler\, PhD\, has been working in the fields of organizational development and human resources development since 1994. A partner in MIRA Companions for Development\, an international consulting group\, Joachim’s current list of American and international clients encompasses the banking\, pharmaceutical\, retail\, and manufacturing sectors\, as well as anthroposophical institutions and Waldorf schools. Joachim is a member of the College of Social Sciences Section at the Goetheanum and the international Association for Social Development and has taught at the University of Muenster and at Germany’s first private university in Herdecke. He holds an MA in adult education and a PhD in medical education. \nJessica and Joachim have been leading Sunbridge’s Collaborative Leadership week-long course and weekend workshops for the past ten years. Previous participants said this about their experiences: \n~ Excellent! Highly practical\, deeply insightful\, clearly organized\, masterfully executed. \n~ This course was immensely useful in helping me to develop a more full and practical understanding of organizational structures\, how to diagnose my organization\, and to look at ways to bring about change. The diagnostic tool\, the experiences of dialogue and decision making\, and discussions about power and trust were so valuable. \n~ The quality of the course was outstanding. Jessica and Joachim really made the information come alive and explained it in a way that was easy to digest. \n\n\nSchedule\nThis workshop will take place in live Zoom sessions.\n\nSessions\nFriday\, March 19: 10:30am-12pm and 1:30pm-3pm\nSaturday\, March 20: 10:30am-12pm\nALL TIMES ARE EASTERN \n\nCost\n$150 \nDiscount Options \n\n10% off discount will apply for\n\nThose who register for all three workshops in this series (Use discount code MAXREG)\nThose who have previously attended Sunbridge’s week-long Collaborative Leadership Summer Series course (Contact info@sunbridge.edu for discount code if it hasn’t already been sent to you.)\nSchools sending two or more registrants (Use discount code VOLUME.
