SSC-5320: Envisioning and Founding a Post-Traditional School

Learners in this course explore education that includes body, mind and spirit and consider how these can be expressed through the structure and culture of developing a school. Learners articulate their own personal vision of holistic pedagogy and develop key documents that will help to define their school-to-be: mission statement, statement of philosophy re the process of human development, the process of learning, and the role of curriculum, pedagogy, teachers, and so on. Learners then explore the elements required to found a holistic school: the nature of its ownership and governance; the role of its leadership; facilities and resources; legal requirements in the location of operation; recruitment of families and learners; hiring of staff; and start-up of operations and likely initial challenges.
