A 1-day Seminar for School Leaders: Leading For Change

Titirangi Rudolf Steiner School Community Hall
5 Helios Place, Titirangi, 0604 NZ

The last few years have brought unprecedented challenges to Waldorf/Steiner schools, especially to our teachers and administrators. Layered over long-standing issues of low pay, long hours, concerned parents, and shared governance, schools have had to navigate the aftermath of covid while working with new financial constraints, to name but a few issues.

At the cross-roads of these pressing issues, how can school leaders lead with purpose?

Speaking in New Zealand for the first time, Dr Torin Finser will share the work he has been doing as Program Director of the Waldorf Low-residency Educational Leadership Program,who will share some samplings of the topics covered in the WLP such as group dynamics, role clarity, communication, conflict resolution, navigating change efforts, and collaborative leadership, among other topics.

“…we need to share our questions, discuss them with open-mindedness, and find the common language to help us work together more productively. Each of us has a part to play. Any adult who takes responsibility for a task is a leader. Our schools need servant leadership as never before.” – Torin Finser

The Seminar will be supported by two 40-minute social eurythmy sessions to frame the day. This will be led by Simone Hamblett, a Eurythmy teacher and therapist based in Christchurch. Simone also teaches at the Rudolf Steiner School in Christchurch.
