This year the College of Teachers is reviewing and renewing its function by the School management and the teaching body.

The need for a new structure reflects the growth of the School and the ever increasing duties and responsibilities that were previously handled by a small College.

• The new structure has a more inclusive and collaborative approach which aims to involve all teachers in the carrying, strengthening and deepening of Waldorf pedagogy and the Anthroposophical impulse within the School.

• The mandate structure:

-          has worked with for a number of years

-          is based on a distributed leadership structure, and has the expectation  that all full time teachers will be involved in a mandate group

• Mandate Groups will be:

Curriculum

Festivals

Enrolment

Professional Development

Adult Education

SENCO – Special Education Needs Coordinator

College/Pedagogical Meeting (Thursdays)

• Reporting to the School Coordinator/Principal and organising the School’s management processes will be the task of the Coordinating Group.  This Group consists of the School Coordinator/Principal, the Kindergarten, Lower School and Upper School Coordinators, and the Executive Officer.  The Coordinating Group will also and support the work of the larger College.

• The new College structure acknowledges the legal responsibilities and accountabilities that that Board of Trustees requires of the School Coordinator/Principal.

Other Areas of Responsibility

Further administration and educational work is carried out in weekly meetings by the separate faculties – the Kindergarten group, the Specialist teachers, the Upper School group and the Lower School group.
