First Meeting
[md]
1919-09-08
The inaugural faculty meeting establishes the foundational schedule and pedagogical structure for the Waldorf School, organizing classes by grade level with integrated morning main lessons, afternoon specialized instruction in music, religion, and eurythmy, and a carefully sequenced language curriculum beginning with English and French in early grades and adding Latin and Greek in upper classes. The meeting emphasizes the importance of teaching subjects in connected, uninterrupted blocks rather than fragmented periods, with class teachers serving as primary educators supported by specialist instructors, while establishing the principle that faculty meetings function as free, collaborative discussions where each teacher maintains professional autonomy and reflective practice through personal journaling.
