Student Information
Foundations Studies It is possible to enroll in all or some of the courses offered. The objective is to gain a basic understanding of Rudolf Steiner’s work, both philosophically, artistically and as applied in practical life. Participation does not commit a student to continue into teacher development, or any other training for work inspired by Rudolf Steiner. It is however an essential first step for entering subsequent professional training in such work. There are no other requirements than a sincere interest in getting to know Rudolf Steiner’s world-view, and his view of the human being as a being of spirit, soul, and body. Teacher Development I After a thorough conversation with some Arcturus instructors and Core Group members, as well as her or his mentor, a student may be accepted into the teacher development program if it is agreed that the foundation studies have been successfully completed and the basis for advanced work has been established. Previous work in education as well as life experience will also be considered in this light. The the format of the course work itself will not differ substantially from that of past years, however: · Students are recommended to attend full time, if possible, that is the whole weekend during the school year plus the preceding summer sessions. Teacher Development II Students are accepted into the second year of teacher development if they have successfully completed the previous year’s course work, and if their instructors and the members of the Core Group consider them ready for the more specific work in a Waldorf classroom. The course work will be more demanding compared to previous years. The same conditions apply to this year than to the first year of teacher training: · Students must have successfully completed the first year of teacher development, which includes some observation in Waldorf classes prior to at least 6 weeks of practice teaching. · We recommend attending full time i.e., the whole weekend, during the school year plus the preceding Summer Intensive Tuition Schedule 2007-2008 Effective July 1, 2007
