  • EDC-6555: Place-Based Teaching and Learning

    Students are naturally interested in exploring their world and participating as active citizens on projects relevant to them. Place-based education in schools and educational organizations offers local culture, the built environment, and nature as an integrating context for learning. This course will explore practical strategies for the implementation of place-based learning in order to meet PreK-12 curriculum standards and organizational goals. Students who participate in place-based education are more likely to have stronger ties with their community. Additional course foci will include approaches to developing an interdisciplinary place-based curriculum; designing place-based learning experiences to fulfill school and organizational mission statements; and strategies for taking full advantage of the school campus and community as learning sites. Students in this course will design a place-based unit or project that integrates student choice, uses place as a context for learning, and develops school - community ties.

  • EDC-6590: Living Arts I

    This course is for the personal and artistic development of the educator and for learning techniques to integrate the arts in the classroom. As counter effort to the powerful presence of the media in our schools, a living environment where the arts support our sense of beauty and our sense of who we are and who we strive to be, is essential for authentic growth. When we paint or draw, we open pathways to greater communication with ourselves and the students we teach. Through explorations with color, painting and drawing, as well as through lectures and discussions, participants will consider the role of art for people of various learning styles and dispositions.

  • EDP-5580: Working With Families & Community

    Nature preschools and forest kindergartens are special kinds of places, different from conventional early childhood programs. Parents, caretakers and community members, who may not be familiar with the aims and practices of nature-based programs, can benefit from education. Families may need to be prepared to provide appropriate outdoor clothing, do regular tick checks, and think about children’s learning in new ways. They may also be called on to volunteer in the school and to help with promotion and fundraising. We’ll consider how to partner with families and forge links to the wider community. Communication is central to our work: we’ll hone our skills as we participate in mock parent conferences, examine and create materials that describe programs to families, and practice working with parents who have questions or concerns.

  • EDP-5920: The Adolescent

    Beginning with reflections upon our own teenage years, we will explore the nature of adolescence - its physiology and psychology - and the social issues that are thrown into stark relief at this age. In the light of these explorations, we can then examine the unique ways in which the Waldorf high school curriculum, building on the elementary school program, is designed to meet the spiritual, psychological, and social needs of teenagers. The course will proceed in seminar format, starting with lectures that will frame the context for discussion. Students will be asked to make individual presentations on various social and psychological aspects of adolescent life and culture. Topics will include adolescent social development, different learning styles and disabilities, peer counseling and the changing role of parents, the teenagers’ needs for fashion, anonymity, loneliness and the telephone.

  • EDP-6240: Personal/Organztl Change

    Schools face many challenges today. If one ‘peels the onion’ one finds that behind the external issues of deficits, low salaries, interpersonal conflict, and lack of support for leadership there is often an underlying need to rekindle the sources of inspiration and find a more collaborative approach. By bringing together the various groups represented in a typical school, this course attempts to model new ways of working together. Our classrooms feature the magic of seeing the ‘whole child’; can our organizations learn to embrace whole-systems thinking? Some of the topics to be covered include: group dynamics, leadership styles, the wisdom of human physiology and the planets, working with conflict, communication, mediation, artistic practice, and finding the balance between personal and professional demands. These themes will be supported through exercises from Eurythmy in the Workplace. Participants will take up some of the current issues facing our schools and design strategies to work toward closer collaboration.

  • EDP-6290: Critical Skills for Critical Times

    This course operates under the premise that the purpose of school is to prepare people for life after school. Toward that end, we need to build a sophisticated understanding of the complexities and demands of the world in which we live, and what the world might be like five, ten or fifteen years into the future. Essential questions that frame this work and the course objectives will be: Why should we do problem-based learning? What current and perhaps future realities of the world are we preparing our young people to be able to thrive and be successful in? Given those realities, what capacities (knowledge, skill and dispositions) are of fundamental importance for our students to attain in order for these young people to be successful, but to change the world for better? What are the qualities of a classroom that best mimic and prepare students for that world?

  • EDR-6200: Practicum-Equity & Change

    In every learning environment everyday teacher decision-making has an impact on student learning. As sociologist Mica Pollack says in educational opportunity is distributed and withheld ‘moment to moment.’ She also says, We can ensure within our own schools and classrooms, necessary opportunities to learn and thrive are provided, and distributed equitably. The goal of this practicum is to engage students in a cycle of inquiry around equity in their own teaching practice. Working with their advisor, students will reflect upon and identify important ways in which they might make their practice more equitable in terms of student learning outcomes and helping their students to ‘thrive.’ They will investigate their own learning needs and equip themselves with additional resources and information that they may need to carry out these improvements in practice. Students will then begin implementation of their cycle of inquiry and reflect on the results of their efforts. Whenever possible, students will be encouraged to do this work in the context of whatever natural professional learning communities already exist in their schools and districts. Advisors will assist students with the development of a cycle of inquiry related to this project, visit classrooms and help students with observations and feedback, and help connect teachers with resources specific to the challenge they face.

  • EDR-6940: Practicum-Curriculum

    Each concentration within the Experienced Educators program provides multiple opportunities for students to apply their learning to their classroom. We know that teachers are constantly adapting and creating materials to capture their students’ interests and meet student learning goals set by the teacher, by the district or by state standards. The Curriculum Design practicum provides an intensive semester in which students will engage in a cycle of inquiry around the routine changes that they make as they teach. Working with their advisor, students will develop a question or set of questions about their curriculum work. Then using student work, observations of student learning, and whatever assessments are part of their normal teaching, they will evaluate the impact of their efforts on the students they teach. Emphasis will be placed on developing a regular cycle of inquiry that will allow teachers to more effectively, and honestly evaluate their own performance on a routine basis. Whenever possible, students will be encouraged to do this work in the context of whatever natural professional learning communities already exist in their schools and districts. Advisors will assist students with the development of a cycle of inquiry related to this project, visit classrooms and help students with observations and feedback, and help connect teachers with resources specific to the challenge they face.

  • EDT-5100: Landscape Analysis & Design for Nature Play and Learning

    The natural world both invites and supports play and learning. This course focuses on how outdoor spaces can contribute to early childhood education. It uses site assessment, analysis and schematic design as tools to reveal the potential of a location for a nature-based early childhood program. Students will engage in a hands-on sequence of exploration together, imagining how an actual outdoor space can be transformed by using and modifying the existing landscape. Each student will apply understanding through creating a schematic design. Learn how to use boundaries, pathways, and destinations to support play and learning, how experiences in nature can support early childhood learning standards, and deepen your understanding of your role as teacher.

  • EDT-5200: Awareness Body Mind Heart; Path to Chg

    Buddhist thought and practice encompass the body, mind and heart as a focus for learning, understanding and action. Most recently, research studies in neuroscience have shown the explicit and visible (through FMRI) relationship between body, mind, heart and brain function. In this course, participants will examine some of the most recent studies in neuroscience and their applications to teaching, learning, and one’s particular educational context. There will be equal emphasis on application and reflection within one’s educational context and the ongoing development of mindfulness meditation practice and personal daily life mindfulness practices. Of the three courses in the Certificate Program, this one will highlight the scientific nature of mindfulness practice and how it is possible to see, apply, verify, or modify based on the first-order data received through the body, mind, heart and brain change process that is every human being. In the final online discussion and submissions, Participants will shape and define the pathways to change that they intend to explore or deepen in order to lead toward greater freedom and joy in their educational contexts and at the heart of teaching and learning.

  • EDT-5320: Conceptual Development

    How do children think and learn? How do children’s cognitive and affective skills evolve as they develop? How do we teach in conjunction with children’s developmental skills? What assumptions do teachers and curriculum designers make about how children learn? Are these assumptions well founded? How do our personal learning styles differ? How can we construct ‘authentic curriculum’ that is developmentally appropriate? In attempting to answer these questions, we’ll explore recent research in neurophysiology and learning, language development and learning theory. Laboratory sessions will provide opportunities to synthesize our ideas on thinking, learning and teaching. Throughout, we’ll be attempting to synthesize rational and intuitive modalities in the learning models we develop. Readings include Duckworth, Labinowicz, Vygotsky, Williams, Gardner, and others.

  • EDT-5360: Childhood & Nature

    When children have access to free play in natural areas, they do the same things, around the country and around the world. They make special places, go on adventures, develop fantasy games, go hunting and gathering, craft small worlds. These recurrent play patterns can be used as design principles to help structure engaging outdoor activities with children. During our days together, we’ll recollect our own favorite childhood experiences and we’ll spend time outside exploring some of these recurrent play patterns. We’ll discuss the research on the relationship between childhood play in nature and environmental behavior in adults. Then we’ll use these experiences to design new approaches to nature programming at schools, nature centers, and environmental programs.
