SUMMARY:Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement
DESCRIPTION:If you have any questions about this event\, please call Barbara Vitale at 845-425-0055 x20\, as Sunbridge  is experiencing difficulty receiving emails today.\nThe protests that followed the killings of members of our Black communities in spring 2020 served to wake many people up to the realities of racism in America—realities to which the Waldorf movement has not been 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. \nCalling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement was first presented by Sunbridge in September 2020. The need for and interest in the event proved to be so widespread\, it has been repeated to new audiences several times since.  This workshop is an encore presentation of that original event. \nDescription  \nOver the course of three one-and-a-half-hour sessions taking place virtually in real-time on Friday evening and Saturday morning and afternoon\, this workshop will: \n\nDefine and articulate the ways many Waldorf school curricula center whiteness and set it up as an ideal\, to the detriment of all;\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;\nShare practical tools\, resources\, and success stories with the goal of dismantling racism in Waldorf schools and communities.\n\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 Diversity Fund Scholarship Committee and is also a Board trustee of Sunbridge\, AWSNA\, and WECAN. 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 served as director of communications and marketing at Green Meadow Waldorf School from 2011-2021 and is a founding member of Sunbridge’s Diversity Fund Scholarship Committee. Vicki\, who has been involved in anti-racism initiatives and community organizing for social justice for more than 20 years\, has been a consultant to Waldorf schools across the US since 2014; she has also held positions in publishing\, resource development\, translation and interpretation (English/Spanish)\, international women’s human rights\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. She graduated with honors from the University of Florida in Gainesville with a major in English and minors in religion and women’s studies. \nHeather Scott is currently a core faculty member of Sunbridge’s Waldorf High School Teacher Education program\, and is also a high school humanities teacher at The Waldorf School of San Diego. Heather has taught at WSSD for 17 years\, including graduating two eighth grade classes. Her teaching experience also includes a year spent at The Community School for Creative Education\, a public\, Waldorf-inspired charter in Oakland\, CA.
