Waldorf in Davis School Life Waldorf educators have always sought to protect the wonder and magic of early childhood. The Waldorf Kindergarten provides a nurturing, homelike environment full of natural beauty. From the central nature table with its changing seasonal tableaus, to the simple, unfinished toys that stimulate the child's imagination, a Waldorf Kindergarten room is an enchanting space. Baskets of river rock, seashells, slices of birch branch, simple cloth dolls and wooden frames draped with gauzy cotton or shimmering silk come alive during "creative play". These simple things are transformed by the children into villages, castles, ships and forests as the momentous drama unfolds. This play is the children's work; it exercises their creativity and imagination and lays the groundwork for a life-long love of learning. A comfortable structure is provided through the rhythmical ordering of daily activities. Teacher and children engage in artistic activities such as watercolor painting, crayoning, beeswax modeling, eurythmy, and meaningful domestic tasks such as bread baking and building. Circle games, stories and puppet shows also nourish the child's developing imagination. The children discover and observe changes in nature through walks in the neighboring fields and parks. Seasonal festivals are celebrated through crafts, stories, songs, and special activities that deepen the child's connection to the rhythms of nature throughout the year.

Extractions: Bushy Hill Field School Bushy Hill Field School has been offering classes in natural history and primitive studies since 1985. We provide programs at our 650 acre site or at schools and other sites, such as nearby ocean sites. We also offer field work at your school and properties in your town that you may wish to utilize for environmental education. FIELD TRIPS TO BUSHY HILL: PRIMITIVE STUDIES: This is our most popular offering, done for one to four classes at a time. We are set-up in different stations that show daily living in prehistoric Connecticut, contact period Connecticut ( circa 1650) and the plains culture of the mid-nineteenth century. Our replicate wigwams and teepee are outfitted to look lived in during the targeted period and skills and seasonal happenings are interpreted to shed light on living in accordance with what the environment could offer. MAPLE SUGARING: This is a sweet learning experience. As the winter snows slowly recede, the days begin to get longer. We know that spring is just around the corner. This has traditionally been the time in New England to harvest the sweet sap of the sugar maple tree. Our 2 hour program uses the process of making maple syrup to teach math, science and nature awareness. Students come away with an understanding of the whole syrup making process from the tree to the sugar house to the table.

Extractions: Teaching Dossier Dr. John Hoddinott From 1982-84 I was the Chairperson of the General Faculties Council Committee for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning (CITL). During that time the office of CITL was established and the first Education Director, Morag Pansegrau, was appointed. The office was responsible for the continuation and expansion of faculty development workshops, and the peer consultation program was initiated. The provision of funds to allow release time for peer consultants was an important innovation and it allowed Drs. Lois Stanford and Roger Beck and Ms. Robin Mott to give the program a firm foundation. S ince 1999 I have been a member of the GFC Teaching and Learning Committee and have served on Taskforces relating to the use of Technology in Teaching and Learning and Courseware Licensing. From 1982-85 I sat on the Faculty of Science Student Services and Teaching Awards Committees. From 1990 to the amalgamation of the Department, I served on the Botany Department Courses and Curriculum Committee. We completed a major redesign of the curriculum of Botany 199 Plant Biology. To give the course greater continuity, it was taught by a single instructor rather than the two as before. The changes in course content were designed to meet the needs of a wider range of students and provide a better articulation between all areas of course content and prior learning in biology. Our peer TA training program also gave us greater flexibility in what could be done successfully in the labs.

The eligible recipient will also be a student who has shown sensitivity to the needs and concerns of others. At the time of his death in November 1998 Alejandro was a Microbiology major, a Resident Assistant in Dorsey Hall and an adviser for the Dorsey Hall Council. He was involved in Students Together Opposing Prejudice (STOP), and in the Association of Latin and American Students (ALAS), among other organizations across campus. Alejandro planned to travel to Cuba over the summer in order to see his family's homeland.
Selected Publications I knew I would like to make the transition from research to teaching when I I was back on the west coast standing in the botany class on 2 April 2001! http://teach.lanecc.edu/bakerg/Interests.htm
Extractions: Gail A. Baker Teaching and Research Interests In the fall of 1994 I began teaching full-time in the Science Division at Lane Community College (LCC). This marked a significant transition for me from a research to a teaching career. Before joining the faculty at LCC I had a 15-year career as a research scientist at three major universities, University of California Irvine and Los Angeles and Oregon State University. My research background in the field of plant ecology has given me a strong foundation of information and experience to bring to the classroom and share with students. The research projects I have been involved with range from the deserts of Baja and southern California to the chaparral and giant sequoias of the southern Sierra and up the west coast of the United States to the temperate rain forests of the Olympic peninsula in Washington. I knew I would like to make the transition from research to teaching when I taught part-time at LCC in 1986 and continued to teach at North Seattle Community College during 6 years in the Seattle area. The opportunity to work with motivated students in small classes was very inspiring.

Extractions: May 29, 2003 Return to home Ideas for Teaching Botanical Biodiversity Modern scientific thought does not require that scientific principles be used for everything in life, although some scientists recommend it. The scientific method is intended for dealing with things of nature, and the principles inherent in art, philosophy and religion are to be used for dealing with problems in art, philosophy and religion. There is overlap, of course, and in those cases scientists should use scientific methods, others their own methods. Some naturalistic philosophers: Democritus, 460-360 B.C. A materialist, he held that the world was made up of tiny particles. By constant motions they combine to make the universe. The nature of things can be discovered only by thought, for sense perceptions are confusing. Epicurus, 342-270 B.C. Said that intellectual pleasure or serenity is the only good in life. Lucretius, 95-54 B.C. Said that the universe came into being through the workings of natural laws in the combining of atoms (tiny particles).

Extractions: A Resource for Nurturing Balance, Movement and the Senses Christopherus Homeschool Resources Donna Simmons Spiral bound Regular Price: $22.00 Introductory Price: $20.00 Donna Simmons always seems to know what I want her to write next perhaps because she is so tuned in to what we all want for our children and what we need that is missing from available resources. Joyful Movement answers the longing for a simple, do-able approach to integrating movement (and joy!) into home and homeschool life. Even when the integrator is not a dancer, eurythmist, gymnast or even particularly graceful. Donna, in her wonderful spirit of warm practicality, takes even the least "movement trained" of us by the hands, soothes away our sense of guilt and inadequacy, and then playfully leads us into as much delight as our children experience. This is so much more than just a book about movement this is a book about moving into life with joy, about awakening all our senses to the wonder of the world and while we're at it, learning to move with beauty and grace.
