Teacher Training Schedule Update
"Through study we cannot become teachers. We cannot drill others into being teachers, because each one of us is already a teacher. Every human being is a teacher but he is sleeping and must be awakened, and art is the awakener. Nevertheless he will still be a good teacher because it does not depend on the giving out of knowledge but on activating the individuality of the soul upon the pre-earthly existence. Then it is really the child who educates himself through us. And that is the truth. In reality we do not educate at all. We only disturb the process of education when we intervene too energetically. We only educate when we behave in such a way that through our own behavior the child can educate himself. " - Rudolf Steiner
Summer 2020 Schedule Update
New Cohort Starting June 2020 with Graduation Summer 2022
Continuing and New Teacher Training Classes
In response to the needs of teachers, potential teachers, and school leaders, SCC is pleased to announce revised programs for Summer 2020. We have reshaped our summer offerings and will not be offering our usual cornucopia of public courses. New cohorts in both EC and GS will join our current teacher training groups, with a hybrid of online and in-person (government regulations permitting) programs, with the intention of making the best of both modalities.
