Grades 1-5 Teacher Rejuvenation with Jack Petrash
Waldorf education was intended to generate forces of renewal for the children, the teachers, and the whole school. Great faith is placed in the teacher鈥檚 ability to be true to themselves and to work out of their own authenticity while being both creative and responsible. Today, we must intentionally reconnect to the inner striving of the teacher that is at the heart of our teaching. Jack will help us to reframe the path of the teacher, which is so needed today.
Our very experienced faculty will collaborate together to build a rich, artistic, informative, and rejuvenating week.
Jack Petrash worked at the Washington Waldorf School for over forty years where he taught four classes from first grade to eighth and mentored and trained teachers. He was the co-founder and director of the Nova Institute, an organization working to build a bridge between Waldorf teaching and main-stream education. Jack is the author of Understanding 海角社区: Teaching from the Inside Out, Navigating the Terrain of Childhood, and Turning Lead into Gold: The Transformative Alchemy of Waldorf Teaching. His TedX talk, Preparing Children for the Journey, has been viewed worldwide.
