SUMMARY:Peer Group Strategies for Recognizing and Challenging Racism in Waldorf Classrooms & Communities: Cultural Appropriation\, Appreciation\, and Assimilation
DESCRIPTION:In this Part II follow-up to Sunbridge’s conference\, Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement\, trained teachers and facilitators from Alma Partners and Sunbridge Institute will guide participants in five 90-minute sessions focusing on individual aspects of DEI work related to topics from that conference. \nThrough questions and answers\, small-group dialogue and activity\, and exploring ways to turn concepts into practice\, participants will have the opportunity to increase racial literacy\, engage in community\, and set personal goals for their teaching and/or administrative and board work. Open to any school personnel—faculty\, staff\, board members—looking to effect positive change in their classrooms and school communities. \n  \nIMPORTANT NOTE\nAttendance at any 2020-21 or 2021-22 presentation of Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement is a pre-requisite for attending this follow-up series. (NOTE: This series will be repeated in spring 2022). \nPresented over Zoom\, each session in the series may be attended separately. There is a cap of 22 participants per session. \n  \nSession Dates\, Topics\, and Facilitators \n  \nWednesday\, October 6\nRace\, Racism\, and Anti-Racism. Facilitators: Joaquin Muñoz with Vicki Larson\nThe goal of this workshop is to allow participants to examine some of the definitions that serve as the pillars of our social justice conversations and offer access to a shared language for implementing change.  Participants will have the opportunity to increase racial literacy\, engage in community and set personal goals for their teaching or school environment. \n  \nWednesday\, October 20\nRacial Identity Development. Facilitators: Joaquin Muñoz with Keelah Helwig\nThe goal of this workshop is to explore the framework that examines how our racial identities\, as one of our many social identities\, can shape who we are and how we move through the world. Participants will have the opportunity to explore various models that represent different identities and how to use biography as a tool for reflection and affinity or caucusing groups as a means of healing. \n  \nWednesday November 3\nCultural Appropriation\, Appreciation\, and Assimilation. Facilitators: Joaquin Muñoz with Meggan Gill\nThe goal of this workshop is to explore how\, as educators\, we can continue to offer children diversity through our curriculum\, festivals and heritage months while steering away from the pitfalls of tokenization or bringing a “tourist curriculum” in the name of multiculturalism. Participants will gain literacy in cultural competency\, consider place-based education as a tool and explore some “best practices” for addressing your institutional goals. \n  \nWednesday\, November 17\nMicroaggressions. Facilitators: Joaquin Muñoz with Aiyana Masla\nSometimes the cultural norms in your place in your work or school environment may seem friendly and light\, but unknowingly be causing harm to those in marginalized or targeted groups. Learning to recognize and interrupt microagressions can help to create the inclusive environment we all strive for. \n  \nWednesday\, December 1\nIntersectionality. Facilitators: Joaquin Muñoz with Heather Scott\nIn the words of Audre Lorde- “There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” The goal of this workshop is to explore the complexity of our individual identities- or intersectionality- and how this informs our experiences as community members. This lens is useful when considering the relationships we form among ourselves as teachers\, caregivers\, parents\, mentors and board members. Participants will learn concepts related to social identities\, systems of privilege and power\, bias and tools for bringing balance to social contexts. \n  \nFacilitators \nJoaquin Muñoz is an assistant professor of American Indian Studies at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. His main focus is on helping people develop capacities for working with diverse student populations in culturally responsive and humanizing ways. Joaquin grew up on the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation in Arizona\, where he learned early on about the complicated issues of race\, culture\, history\, and oppression. Since then his continuous work to develop his understanding of being a mixed-race person (Pascua Yaqui Indian and Mexican-American) continues to inform all aspects of his professional career. During his time as a teacher in K-12 and post-secondary environments\, Joaquin’s desire to support others in the development of their intercultural competency and their passion for social justice grew\, and in addition to his work as a faculty member\, he also consults for a number of groups and organizations both nationally and internationally\, including in Canada\, Germany\, and Mexico.

SUMMARY:Critical Thinking on Matters of Financial Sustainability: Budget as a Reflection of Organizational Ethos
DESCRIPTION:Sunbridge has teamed up with AWSNA in presenting a three-part online workshop series on matters of financial sustainability\, designed for Waldorf administrators and committee members\, including faculty\, staff\, and Board. These workshops are being presented in conjunction with AWSNA’s October and November financial primer webinars. ATTENDANCE AT AWSNA’S WEBINARS IS ENCOURAGED\, BUT NOT REQUIRED\, FOR PARTICIPATION IN SUNBRIDGE’S WORKSHOPS. \n  \nAWSNA’s Primers in Financial Terminology and the Usefulness of Financial Reports\nThese webinars explore the fundamentals of financial management and reporting at an introductory level. For those faculty and board members without financial acumen and prior experience in this realm\, we will review financial terminology and common financial reporting and suggest key factors in report analysis to best understand a school’s financial stability. Components of revenue and expenses\, including the full cost of payroll and benefits\, and common reports of financial activities will be explored to gain a greater understanding of how a school is using its financial resources to drive its mission. \nPart I: Revenue. Presenter: Denese Giordano\nFriday\, October 22. 12pm PT/1pm MT/2pm CT/3pm ET\nREGISTER HERE. \nPart II: Expenses & Reporting. Presenter: Denese Giordano\nFriday\, November 5. 12pm PT/1pm MT/2pm CT/3pm ET\nREGISTER HERE \nNote: These free webinars will be recorded and available for viewing to anyone with access to the AWSNA Community Hub. \n  \nSUNBRIDGE WORKSHOPS  \n Dates\, Topics\, and Facilitators \nFriday-Saturday\, November 19-20: Budget as a Reflection of Organizational Ethos\nFacilitators: Stephanie Rynas and Denese Giordano\nAn organization’s budget should reflect the values and priorities of that organization. The choice of policies\, procedures\, and practices  in place for specific budget categories point towards the principles and values to which the organization aspires. By default\, therefore\, where a school spends its money demonstrates in concrete ways what is important to that school. This is especially apparent in compensation and in financial aid policies and procedures. In this workshop\, we will discuss pathways to aligning schools’ values and their deployment of funds. \n  \nFriday-Saturday\, February 4-5: Phases of Decision-Making as Applied to the Budget Process\nFacilitators: Jessica Heffernan Ziegler and Stephanie Rynas\nPhases of decision-making is a time-honored leadership concept. This workshop uses school budgets and the budgeting process to explore the decision-making process. \n  \nFriday-Saturday\, March 18-19: Applying Concepts of DEI Into Organizational Culture\nFacilitators: Meggan Gill and TBA\nA school’s organizational culture—including how it approaches recruitment and retention of faculty and students from commonly marginalized and minoritized populations—has a significant impact on its financial sustainability. Through the lens of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion concepts\, this workshop explores how decisions are made and who makes them\, while also examining emergent strategies\, power structures\, and cultural assumptions. \n  \nFacilitators \n \nDenese Giordano is a seasoned school administration professional who is currently a consultant as well as ANA coordinator for AWSNA’s mid-Atlantic region. Denese has been in the workforce for over four decades\, including 34 years spent working with mission-based organizations in the non-profit independent school realm\, honing her skills in program development\, budget strategies\, and long-term planning. She specializes in establishing healthy systems in finance\, human resources\, administrative operations\, and outreach and development efforts. A graduate of Kenyon College\, Denese completed the Foundation Studies Course at The Waldorf School of Garden City\, the school from which her four daughters graduated\, providing her a parent’s (client) perspective and gratitude for Waldorf Education. \n  \nStephanie Rynas is AWSNA’s executive director for operations and member resources. In this role she works with the AWSNA board to steward the association\, shepherds the strategic plan\, and develops and supports member resources. Prior to her role with AWSNA\, Stephanie was the administrator at the Waldorf School of the Peninsula for 10 years\, supporting its growth to full PreK-12 on two campuses. Before finding Waldorf Education\, Stephanie worked for many years in marketing and management in Silicon Valley companies\, where she studied the art of collaboration and meeting facilitation. Stephanie received her BS in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan\, her MBA from Santa Clara University\, and her Waldorf teacher education certificate from Rudolf Steiner College. \n  \nJessica Ziegler has been the executive director of Sunbridge Institute since 2008. Her professional focus on leadership skills\, governance issues\, and personnel development are utilized both in her executive director role and in her work as co-instructor of Sunbridge’s “Collaborative Leadership” course and related workshops; she also teaches Waldorf school administration in Sunbridge’s Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher Education program\, and previously taught in Sunbridge College’s Administration and Biography programs. Jessica works as an executive coach and organizational development consultant for Waldorf administrators and teachers and 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 has sat on many boards\, including her current role as trustee of the Otto Specht School in Chestnut Ridge\, NY. Jessica holds a BS in business management and did her biography training with Karl-Heinz Finke and her executive coach training with SECA International. \n  \nMeggan Gill became Sunbridge’s director of education and organizational culture in 2021.
