SUMMARY:Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement
DESCRIPTION:Background\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.

SUMMARY:Waldorf Weekend: Foundations and Fundamentals of Waldorf Education from Early Childhood through High School
DESCRIPTION:Open to students of education and especially relevant for new and prospective Waldorf community members (teachers\, parents and grandparents\, staffers\, and board members). \nOur popular\, on-campus Waldorf Weekend is back! This lively and informative workshop is designed to provide an experiential survey of the basis and basics of Waldorf education. In addition to exploring the Waldorf curriculum across the grades\, our Waldorf Weekend includes a discussion of Rudolf Steiner’s insights in human development and a look into the anthroposophical underpinnings of the Waldorf impulse. You’ll enjoy hands-on artistic activities\, and there’ll be plenty of time for questions and answers. Our Waldorf Weekends are a most memorable—and fun!—learning experience. \nPlease note: This workshop takes place in person.  \n  \nPresenters \nMeggan Gill ’10 is Sunbridge’s director of education and organizational culture. A trained Waldorf early childhood educator and a specialist in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, Meggan also teaches in Sunbridge’s Early Childhood and Elementary Teacher Education programs\, sits on the WECAN IDEA committee\, and is a member of Alma Partners. Her Waldorf teaching experience includes teaching kindergarten at the Olympia Waldorf School\, parent-and-child and nursery classes at the New Amsterdam School\, toddler classes at City of Lakes Waldorf School and\, from 2009-2020\, serving on the faculty of the Brooklyn Waldorf School\, where she led parent-and-child and kindergarten classes and was active on the Faculty Council. Meggan\, who originally hails from the Pacific Northwest\, earned her undergraduate degree in health sciences from The Evergreen State College and her certificate in Waldorf early childhood education from Sunbridge Institute. \n\n\n \nWinnie Stern ’14 is director of Sunbridge’s Elementary Teacher Education program. She is also currently a Green Meadow Waldorf High School history teacher\, after having taken a class of Green Meadow students from first through eighth grade as class teacher. A former substitute teacher\, Winnie initially became interested in exploring the foundations and goals of education through a philosophical lens\, and discovered Waldorf education while seeking to answer the question “What kind of education helps to create a happy and healthy human being?” She holds a double-major BA in philosophy and education from Brooklyn College\, an MA in philosophy and education from Columbia University Teachers College\, a NYS teaching license in grades 1-6 education\, and her Waldorf teacher certification from Sunbridge Institute. \n\nPrevious Waldorf Weekend participants had this to say: \n~ The weekend has been wonderful. The information was communicated in a clear way\, and I feel like I have a much deeper understanding of what it means to look at the world through the Waldorf lens.\n~ It was excellent. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable.\n~ The weekend was outstanding! I was deeply inspired\, both as a teacher and as a human being.\n~ Highly informed\, warm-hearted facilitators with a deep concern for the group’s understanding and experience.\n~ This was one of the single most wonderful weekends in my life. I came with the intention of learning more about Waldorf education.
