What inspires your teaching? How are you crafting educational community? What tips would you like to share for teachers in these times? Although we cannot gather in person, this February, some colleagues have asked if we could meet using Zoom to foster dialogue between teachers from different schools.
We will “gather” via Zoom on three consecutive days, to consider the task of teaching as described by Rudolf Steiner in the first lecture for the teacher’s course in 1919. (An excerpt is included below.) With this as background we will engage in open dialogue around the challenges teachers are experiencing at the moment, and what education might look like going forward. There will be time to reflect on your recent experiences, share ideas, and also take breaks as needed.
Perhaps, after the online encounters, you can then bring to earth what you are experiencing via Zoom by taking a walk outdoors with a colleague each day, or by engaging in an artistic activity together, in person, at your school.
Dates: Saturday-Monday, February 13-15, 2021
