TALK ON MACROBIOTICS KICKS OFF COFFEE & CONVERSATION SERIES WSP parent and trained macrobiotic cook Elizabeth Gollan will be the first

speaker in the Parents’ Association’s Coffee & Conversation series this Saturday morning. Ms. Gollan, who apprenticed and studied with renowned macrobiotic counselor Denny Waxman for 15 years, will talk about her family’s decision to transition to a macrobiotic diet. Her talk will showcase one parent’s approach to answering the question, “What should I feed my family?” Elizabeth developed an interest in macrobiotics in her twenties after experiencing first-hand its benefits for health and as a spiritual path. In addition to preparing macrobiotic meals at home, Elizabeth teaches others to cook using a macrobiotic approach. Come hear how you might incorporate aspects of macrobiotics into your family’s diet and make food that tastes good.

A graduate of Bryn Mawr College, Elizabeth Gollan is certified in “The Child and the Family in the First Three Years”, from Sophia's Hearth, a Waldorf-inspired training program, and in Montessori Early Childhood Teaching. She graduated from the Strengthening Health Institute with a counseling certificate and is currently writing a cookbook on modern, family-style macrobiotic cooking. She is the mother of two Waldorf School of Philadelphia students. The program runs from 10—11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 6th, in the 7th Grade classroom in Eagles II, 3rd floor. Coffee, tea, herbal teas and delicious snacks will be offered, including samples of macrobiotic treats. Free child care for current WSP families will be available with advance sign-up. To register, contact the school office at (215) 248-1662 or at [email protected]. Coffee & Conversation is a series of informal, topic-focused programs for parents that help to build connections around the joys and anxieties of parenting. If you have a skill, demonstration, of topic of interest that you’d like to share with others, contact Parent Association Conveners Jim Brannon or Anna Mazurkiewicz Muñoz. Messages can be left at the school office in the PA mailbox.

Introducing... WALDORF U., a new series for parents about Waldorf Education The Waldorf Weekly is more than just a publication about events at school; it’s a communication vehicle that helps to build community, and supports and strives to provide parents with information that confirms the educational choice they’ve made for their children. This year we’re introducing a new parent education feature called “Waldorf U.” Waldorf U. will focus on illuminating aspects of Waldorf Education about which parents might want more knowledge or that are simply interesting. For this inaugural column, we thought it might be interesting to publish a Waldorf graduate’s reflections on her education and mainstream culture. This article originally appeared in the spring 2012 issue of Renewal, a journal about Waldorf Education. The writer is Lucia Iglesias, a first-year student at Brown University and a graduate of East Bay Waldorf School in El Sobrante, CA. We are grateful to Ms. Iglesias for her permission to re-print her article in the Waldorf Weekly.

THE CLASH BETWEEN WALDORF AND THE MAINSTREAM CULTURE

by Lucia Iglesias

Mentioning Waldorf schools can be like opening Pandora’s box. Ag g ress i ve ques t ions a nd comments rain down on all sides. “That’s the school where they don’t let kids watch TV, right?” “They don’t learn to read until third grade!” “Did you hear about the Waldorf school in the East Bay that was shut down because the kids weren’t vaccinated?” “They worship gnomes!” Having spent my kindergarten and elementary years at a Waldorf school, I find the disdainful tone of these comments frustrating. My experience of Waldorf Education was very positive and helped make me the person I am today. Unfortunately, almost everything Waldorf, from the educational philosophy that governs the classroom to the ideas that influence the use of technologies, is woefully misunderstood in the wider culture. This largely stems from the fact that the underlying aim of Waldorf Education is different from that of mainstream public schools. As one writer put it, “Steiner saw an opportunity to design a system of education that would nurture all dimensions of the human being—physical, emotional, intellectual, moral, and spiritual.” In speaking of the aims of the newly

created Waldorf school, Rudolf Steiner said: “Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings, who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives.” Character is t ics of Waldor f Education that surprise many are rooted in this radical view of education’s aim. For example, while public schools measure success by scores on academic tests, Waldorf educators are as invested in their students’ moral, social, emotional, and artistic development as in their academic achievements. Waldorf schools don’t emphasize early reading skills. Writing is taught first, and reading is slowly introduced in an imaginative and pictorial way. Students are allowed to progress at their own pace. For example, I taught myself to read in second grade because I was enthralled by the Harry Potter series, but some of my classmates were still hesitant readers in fourth grade. Waldorf teachers don’t give tests until the upper grades and then these are used as a means of review, rather than of classification or judgment. Philosophically, this is because “children should be

helped with their work rather than tested and punished.” The lack of testing draws dissatisfied public school students. A girl who transferred to a Waldorf school in ninth grade was quoted in a New York Times article about Waldorf Education: “In public school, we were constantly cramming for tests and then I would forget the information to get ready for the next test. At Waldorf there isn’t as much of an emphasis on standardized tests... [T]he teachers want us to understand and remember what we’re learning.” Another notable characteristic of Waldorf Education is the emphasis on art and handcrafts. At Waldorf school, our hands were never idle. We drew castles for our medieval history lesson, followed our teacher in watercolor painting class, carved wooden spoons, and knitted socks. M.C. Richards explains that the purpose of teaching art throughout the school day is "not to make the children into artists but...to exercise their creative wills, and to counteract the tendency of our time to set the imagination apart from other learning activities.” As is well known, Waldorf schools typically postpone the use of

computers until the upper elementary grades or high school and discourage home use of computers as well as television watching. I did not explore the Internet or use a computer for school projects until sixth grade. I went to a movie theater only once before I was twelve and only watched television a few times a y e a r w h e n v i s i t i n g m y grandmother. Waldorf schools strive to preserve a child’s imagination and creative thinking abilities, and the schools believe that media technologies limit these capacities. In my experience, the media bans worked just as they were supposed to, leaving my creative thinking abilities and my capacity to entertain and amuse myself without the Internet or a television show intact. When I babysit my neighbor’s children, I am often dismayed by the reluctance of my little charges to do anything but watch a video or a television program. Another distinct feature of Waldorf Education is the important role of spirituality. At my Waldorf school, we had festivals to celebrate Michaelmas (the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel), Advent, Christmas, Three Kings Day, and Easter. This might lead one to think that Waldorf schools

promote Christianity. But a closer look shows that Michaelmas is celebrated by performing a play about gnomes, meteors, and dragons; Advent is celebrated by walking a candlelit spiral of evergreens; and the coming of spring is celebrated with Maypole dancing in honor of the May Queen. Is Waldorf Education pagan, then? No, it is neither Christian nor pagan. Richards notes that Rudolf Steiner didn’t consider the Waldorf school sectarian in any way. The school was to be open to children of all religions, races, and creeds and no particular religion was to be promoted. In the Waldorf curriculum, the life of Jesus is taught alongside stories about Moses, the Buddha, and Z a r a t h u s t r a — f o u n d e r o f Zoroastrianism. Steiner spoke of the foundational role of Christ as a guiding spiritual being, who facilitates “the respect for materials, the reverence for nature, the striving for community, the combination of individuality and fraternity.” Spirituality in a broad sense is woven into the whole curriculum. As Waldorf students, we were encouraged to respect, wonder at, and feel gratitude for the beauty and bounty of nature and for the privilege of human life.

Waldorf Education today in North America is either little known (the educational world’s best-kept secret) or misunderstood (“They sacrifice chickens!”). But perhaps as the crisis in education deepens, the mainstream culture will discover Waldorf Education and, in it, a way out of the impasse. ♦

Save the Date for “The Sword and the Rose” On Thursday, November 8th from 7—9 p.m., Douglas Gerwin, High Mowing High School teacher and director of the Center for Anthroposophy (CfA) in Wilton, NH, will address our community on the subject of adolescent development. He writes, “From puberty onward, two potent capacities––sexuality and intellectuality––unfold in tandem. Since both arise from the same creative font, we conceive in thinking as well as in pregnancy. What happens when these two powers set siege to one another? And how can they become partners, rather than opponents, in life’s glorious adventures beginning with adolescence?” Dr. Gerwin is a well-known and respected scholar, teacher, and researcher who chairs the Waldorf High School Teacher Education Program (WHiSTEP) at CfA;. He is also co-director of the Research Institute for Waldorf Education (RIWE) and a visiting high school teacher in life science, history, literature, and music; lecturer and mentor to Waldorf high schools across North America, and adjunct faculty at Antioch University New England.

CARING FOR THE SOCIAL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY

The Waldorf School of Philadelphia Code of Compassion Our school has been working with The Social Inclusion, a program designed to bring greater awareness to issues of social inclusion, courtesy, and bullying since 2008. The program was designed by family counselor, author, and former Waldorf teacher and trainer, Kim John Payne, who trained a group of parents, teachers and administrators to foster a healthy social climate in our school. Direct work with students in our middle school includes training in peer counseling, conflict resolution, and support of students on the playing field and in the classroom. Under the guidance of Social Inclusion Coordinator, Amanda Rogers-Petro, our students developed an ethical code to govern the ways in which they live and work with others. The code is printed below. Ms. Rogers-Petro reminds us all to “...take these wise words into our hearts and lives!” Ms. Rogers-Petro is available to discuss social health concerns every Friday morning from 8:15—10:15 in the Community Resource Room, Eagles I. We will treat others as we wish to be treated We will show compassion to each other We will take time to show we care We will be kind We will speak and act with respect toward each other We will use calm words to solve problems We will help each other We will listen to each other We will show people we believe in them We will strive to understand each other We will not put other people down We will forgive each other
