The Answer for Schools Is Not More Technology. It’s Teachers and Human Connection.

"It is human interaction that truly engages children and inspires them. In the same way that we want our doctors and lawyers to take time to help us, children need real teachers to connect with and trust."

What’s Lost When We Rush Kids Through Childhood

By Rudolf Steiner School
19 Nov, 2019

Quality education is about relationships. Caring teachers who understand child development and who know and are attuned to the children in their care are far more important than many of the measures of quality we use today...

#Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated co

#Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and read the announcement that all enslaved African-Americans were free, sharing the news about two months after the South surrendered in the Civil War and more than two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today.

CONGRATULATIONS to the #steinerclassof2020! “Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.” #rudolfsteiner

Our country took a big step forward with the landmark Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQ employees from workplace discrimination. The #steinercommunity celebrates this decision with our LGBTQ parents, students, faculty, employees, alumni, and community members and those who continue to fight to create a more equal, just society. Even as we celebrate, we must remain focused on, and committed to, dismantling discrimination of any kind against all marginalized people.

#rudolfsteiner points out that the main purpose of pedagogical modeling is for students to activate their hands regularly in creating forms. The forming and form-sensing activity is paramount, regardless of the malleable material used—“even street mud if it is the only thing available, it doesn’t matter!” Elsewhere he calls street mud “a very good material” for this important purpose.

Taking pictures in front of the #steinerlowerschoo

Taking pictures in front of the #steinerlowerschoolbuilding on the last day of school, is a beautiful tradition. This time it is different, due to the circumstances, but some families sent their pictures from home to keep this tradition alive. Wishing everybody a restorative summer break.
