SUMMARY:The Power of Traditional Country Dancing in Grades 1-8: How Dancing Together Can Enhance Learning\, Enrich Your Teaching\, and Bring Social Health to Your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:For teachers and homeschool parents \nLearn how to harness the power of traditional country dancing to benefit your teaching and your students! \nDancing can provide children with developmentally appropriate opportunities to work on basic coordination\, left-right discrimination\, and the foundation senses of rhythm\, self-movement\, and balance\, all of which are necessary for healthy sensory-motor development. In groups\, dancing fosters awareness of symmetry\, patterns\, and geometrical forms; facilitates awareness of others; and enhances social relationships.  Most importantly\, dancing brings joy! \nIn this experiential workshop\, through presentation\, articles and reference materials\, and movement sessions\, you will: \n\nReceive an overview of traditional social dancing through the centuries\nDiscover how dance positively affects learning and social health\nExplore how to determine which dances and music to bring to your group\nDiscuss specific dances that are geared to each grade\nPractice ice breakers and warm-ups\nPractice calling dances\, and learn about dance courtesies and etiquette\n\nYour takeaways will include handouts with a sample of dances for each grade\, resources for age- and grade-appropriate dances\, and ideas for curriculum integration. Please Note: While the focus of this workshop is on grades 1-6\, grades 7 and 8 dances will also be touched upon and those teachers will also benefit from the information imparted. \n  \nInstructor \nPatricia Campbell is traditional country dance teacher at Housatonic Valley Waldorf School\, where she works with students in grades one through eight. A lifelong dancer\, and a dance caller for 30 years\, Patricia began her dance involvement at HVWS in 2000\, when she “called” for a Harvest Dinner & Dance fundraiser for the third grade trip. In the years since\, she created the Shining River Morris Team and took on more dance projects including leading the Maypole dancing\, dances for the school’s annual Halloween event\, Morris dances\, and a sword dance performed by the HVWS Shining River Morris & Sword Team. Patricia’s repertoire of traditional country dancing encompasses a wide range of dance genres\, including historical dance (Medieval\, Renaissance\, Revolutionary War\, Civil War\, etc.)\, singing games\, international folk dances\, contra dances\, square dances\, and English country dances. A caller and a member of the Board and Programming Committee for the NOMAD (Northeast Music\, Art and Dance) Festival for most of its 20-year run\, Patricia also leads workshops and residencies\, along with dance programs for numerous community groups. Her advice is always for anyone to “get a group of people together and have a dance!” \nYour workshop also includes singing with Patti Regan of Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School. \n  \nStudents who took this workshop previously had this to say: \n– Patricia was a wealth of information and provided a multitude of useful songs and dances for grades 1-6 and beyond. \n– This course was helpful for learning new rhythms and different movements to use in my classes.\n– The class was very satisfying.

SUMMARY:Working with Parents: Developing and Sustaining Healthy Teacher-Parent Relationships
DESCRIPTION:For Waldorf teachers of all levels \nBehind every child stands a parent… or two\, or three\, or four! As teachers we tend to focus on our students\, sometimes forgetting the fact that our relationships with parents are every bit as important. In this workshop we will explore the different facets of the teacher-parent relationship; discuss successful ways of sharing with parents the wonderful\, challenging task of guiding their child through childhood; and do some hands-on activities to strengthen our powers of observation and compassion. \nTopics we will cover include: \n\nNavigating the (often tricky) parent/friend divide\nRunning effective and rewarding parent evenings\nCreating an atmosphere of trust and collaboration\nWriting tactful\, informative year-end reports\nEstablishing guidelines for healthy communication\nPreventing and managing crises\n\nInstructor \n Melissa Merkling is currently an educational support coordinator and extra lesson teacher at the Housatonic Valley Waldorf School in Newtown\, Connecticut\, the school she founded in 1989 and at which she has held virtually every position\, including early childhood and grades teacher\, administrator\, enrollment director\, and College and Board member. Melissa has attended and led anthroposophical classes and study groups for over twenty years.  She currently serves as a pedagogical mentor for students in Sunbridge’s Waldorf Elementary Teacher Education program\, and she is also a professional editor and proofreader. Melissa attended NYC’s Rudolf Steiner School from kindergarten through 12th grade\, studied art at Bennington College\, and earned a certificate in Waldorf early childhood education from Sunbridge College. \nStudents who previously took this workshop with Melissa had this to say: \n~ It was great to hear from a teacher with so much experience and wisdom. She gave us a lot of tools and ideas on how to work with parents. What a gift!\n~ The content was well delivered.
