Teacher Renewal Workshop: Levels 1-3with Aaron Stern, Academy Founder and Patty Lee, Academy Faculty Level 1 - September 25 Level 3 - November 13
Experiential methods will be combined with reflection, contemplation and dialogue into a transformative process whose goal is the re-acquaintance with the essence of learning. Participants will also have time to be in dialogue with other teachers, to develop and refine their personal educational philosophy, and to be a part of a group of facilitators and teachers who will support them in their passion to teach from this philosophy in the classroom. At the end of the three-part series, participants will have a procedure for using ongoing reflection as the foundation for 'keeping learning alive' and thus ongoing renewal. This series is now continuing in its thrid year with the addition of monthly Wisdom Circles, and our plan is for a Summer Program for Teachers to be held in Santa Fe, beginning in the summer of 2010. Note: Our program is now approved as professional development for teachers within the district. Sign-up is through the Santa Fe School District Professional Development Academy (atasan [at ]sfps.info).
