In this information age, when the feast of knowledge is spread out on a table a thousand miles wide and a half-inch thick, what is our role as high school teachers? Clearly, we are called to deliver more than just our subject-area expertise; we are called to meet our students where they are, inspire deep interest in the world, and address their most profound existential questions. This means learning to teach in a transformative way, a three-fold way that aims to engage our students developing capacities of thinking, feeling, and willing. 

 

And in the journey of teacher development we need guidance. Most of all we need each other. This three-year professional development cycle is meant to foster the art of teaching, so that all teachers who are interested in this holistic approach, inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner and other progressive educators, can develop their pedagogical capacities in a collaborative, curious, courageous, non-dogmatic community of colleagues. 

 

The three courses in the cycle focus on a specific soul capacity, while consciously attending to the interwoven nature of the head, heart, and hands.
