To prepare for its 33rd academic year, numerous Rainbow Mountain faculty members attended the following workshops during their 2009 summer break: Orton Gillingham Reading Techniques; The Responsive Classroom; Waldorf Intensives; The Life of the Inner Child; and the Passageworks Institute. RMCS executive director, Renee Owen, feels strongly about providing professional development for her faculty and has scheduled early release days for students during 2009-2010 so the entire faculty will have adequate time for additional training days as well as collaborative curriculum planning periods with their fellow teachers.
In this day and age, it is sometimes easy to find ourselves tip-toeing around the subject of spirituality, particularly when it relates to the classroom. After all, we reside in a country founded by many who fled religious persecution, who passionately believed in spiritual freedom and whose ideals, since, have been maintained by a strict adherence to separation of church and state. So, taking into context our country’s history and a world that is still, today – feverishly, and relentlessly – waging wars over religious differences, it is not surprising that spirituality can sometimes be a difficult subject to broach.
