EDUCATiON - Haleakala Waldorf School
t H e N e W Pat H fall 2010 Haleakala Waldorf School H a l e a k a l a¯ W a l d o r f S c H o o l N e W S l e t t e r Haleakala Waldorf School is located on the historic kealahou Public School campus. A Social Education "The fundamental law of human beings is interdependence. A person is a person through other persons." —Bishop esmond d utu t appropriate action. this developing social capacity is like a stream flowing underground providing nourishment to the roots of the plants in the soil above. It is the underlay of all the activities of the class throughout the students’ school experience, including each subject area, recess, lunch and field trips. any Waldorf teacher would say “it’s a social education.” daniel Goleman, the author of the best-selling book emotional Intelligence (1995, Bantam Books), validated a fundamental aspect of Waldorf education when he reported that our brain is actually designed to make connections with other humans, and that our relationships have a real biological impact—whether it's succeeding at work or finding fulfillment in our personal relationships. Social intelligence means the ability to be smart in relationships by being able to sense what others are feeling and their intentions, and by having the social skills to act on that information. How do children learn these skills? the socialization process involves learning how to be—with self, with others, with students and teachers, and with life’s adversities and challenges. When children enter school they are under the influence of two sets of socialization agents: their teachers and their peers (Hartup, 1999). Since 1919, Waldorf teaching methods have actively worked to address social education in addition to teaching academics. While training the mind to think freely, creatively, and critically, Waldorf teachers are also actively strengthening their students’ capacities for compassion, understanding, connection with others, the ability to communicate creatively and effectively, and the courage to take Waldorf students also benefit from a collaborative learning environment. lev Vygotsky, scientist, phycologist and cognitive development expert, states that there exists an inherent social — Continued on page 14 Kakou a l l o f u S to G e t H e r dear friends, the story of the typical applicant family to Haleakala Waldorf School is a simple one. Parents are on a journey and seeking an experience for their children that is different from the experience that has caused people like Sir ken robinson to say “schools kill creativity.” they are families who dream that their unique child will be “seen,” that learning can be inspiring, and that the world is a great place to be. What is atypical is what happens when a large number of these searching families decide to work together to provide an amazing experience for their children and for themselves. they experience the power of “kakou.” kakou is the Hawaiian value of “all of us together.” When a group of families come together with the value of kakou, the result is a true community. a father who put two children through HWS and then moved to another school spoke to me recently. He emphasized that one of the best things he appreciated about HWS was that it provided the entire family with a community. We are blessed at HWS to offer our families the truest sense of community. Because “we are in this together,” families have created the village that will share raising the children. they have created aloha coffee Hour to gather and visit with each other. they have created the renowned Night of delight to provide a fun Halloween adventure for the whole family. they have created a care committee to provide for families needing encouragement. due to our families’ help, last year our annual Giving and our enrollments rates were very strong—this in a year when nationally, both rates were down. With the value of kakou, HWS becomes an experience for all of us, not just for the children. With kakou, you and your child can be “seen,” you and you child will be inspired, and you and your child can discover together what a great place our world is. It’s one of the things that makes Haleakala Waldorf School “as remarkable as your child.” We are in this together and the result is that the school is a place for all of us. this year, join us in celebrating the power of kakou. You’ll be glad you did! aloha no, Jocelyn Romero Demirbag Chair of School 21 Haleakala Haleakalā Waldorf School • 4160 Lower Kula Road • Kula, Maui, Hawai‘i 96790 • Tel: (808) 878-2511 • Fax: (808) 878-3341 Gifts Haleakala Waldorf ScHool 2009-2010 GIVING rePort annuaL FunD unrestricted annual gifts aNoNYMouS unrestricted TOTaL unReSTRIcTeD GIVInG HOLIDaY FaIRe eVenT ReSTRIcTeD annuaL GIVInG aNoNYMouS Middle School Specialist aNoNYMouS – librarian and library Improvements aNoNYMouS Volunteer coordinator aNoNYMouS Building & Grounds aNoNYMouS Golf cart HaPPY daY GYMaGerY early childhood department Hcf-roBert eMeNS Black fuNd Pono travel award Hcf-ValleY ISle VISIoN fuNd I’iwi Program JoHN aNd Noor MoreY Marimba Instruments krIStY SaBIN Building materials TOTaL ReSTRIcTeD annuaL GIVInG TuITIOn aSSISTance G.

I’ve done my time staying home writing essays on a Saturday, and forgoing the beach and friend time for my homework on weekdays. You know it’s bad when you are arriving early for math class (although Mr. emde might question when I ever did that this year). after I got over my perfectionism freshman year, I became much better at balancing my nerdy tendencies. although I secretly kept up quite well with my schoolwork, I tried not to let it interfere with other, equally important, aspects of my life, like taking my dog to the beach or jumping off waterfalls. I believe that having fun and keeping a good balance of work and play are the most important things in life. My mom has been very good at helping me deal with stress. Whenever I complained about having too much homework she would remind me it was just a game I was choosing to play so I might as well have fun with it. then she would add that I could drop out and go to massage school anytime. I have promised myself that in college I will make it a priority to balance my workload with outdoor outings, theater productions, night time get-togethers, and sleep. Sleep may be a much underappreciated activity at my school, but I plan to do enough of it to keep my wellbeing intact. for those of you ambitious students set on perfect grades and test scores, I would encourage you to be sure it is the track you want. Somehow I got caught up in the whole thing, ivy-league college included, and I wonder…If I had ever stopped to question it, would I have stayed on this path? do not get me wrong, I am grateful and proud and extremely excited to be attending Harvard next fall, but I do not see it as the end all or be all of achieving success or happiness. I believe that happiness causes things, things to do not cause happiness. I hope that every one of my classmates will live happiness, and not get caught up in pursuing it. er 1st grad ) r e h h it ew rade 8th grad etta (now in 6th g n a Leilani P ay e May D d a r g t s 1 5th grade as Surpanik a in the Ram ayana 4 Haleakalā Waldorf School • 4160 Lower Kula Road • Kula, Maui, Hawai‘i 96790 • Tel: (808) 878-2511 • Fax: (808) 878-3341 SeaBurY Hall claSS of 2010, HarVard claSS of 2014 Having a positive outlook changes everything. When I’m unhappy and stressing about useless things I am quite bothered by our screen door that has to be wrenched open, the inescapable mud on clean clothing, our freezer that is constantly freezing shut so that we have to get out the ice chipper and hack our way to the ice cube tray, the elusive leak in our roof that is in just the right spot to splash and hit me in the face every time I walk through the kitchen during a downpour. When I am feeling good all those things become comical, and I can focus on and appreciate the benefits I do get from living in a tiny house in the jungle… like being surrounded by greenery and happy dogs, eating papayas, bananas, lychees, avocadoes, tomatoes, and now even cucumbers, from our land. an anonymous author summed it up well, “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” college decision, a nice straightforward “we regret to inform you” rejection from the college I had set my hopes on, I barely got out two tears and didn’t even make it to the ground before arms were lifting me up and guiding me away from the hateful notification web page. I arrived home and was shortly after barraged by girls and chocolate and magazines and flowers. at first I felt that they clearly hadn’t gotten the message, I was rejected! and then I realized they would have treated it the same way whether I was accepted or rejected. Support comes both as a celebration of success and a buffer for failure. our entire class has learned from and taught each other how to act with compassion. as the dalai lama says, “If you want others to be happy—practice compassion. If you want to be happy—practice compassion.” and just remember: “Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.” I am going to miss my down-to-earth lifestyle when I am on the east coast. I am going to miss my family, my friends, and the entire class of 2010. this is one of the most supportive groups of people I have ever been involved with.

Waldorf teachers use a variety of approaches that involve joint effort by students or groups of students working and playing together to “build” the class and create a support structure that enhances the experience of all. In one third grade experience, students were asked to recite their times tables to receive a star on the multiplication chart. one student had come so close for a couple of weeks, and when for the third time he tried and failed, he hung his head knowing he would have to wait another week while the other students moved ever further ahead. after he was seated, the next student stood and said “pass” and each student after that got the unspoken message and stood up only to say “pass.” they went through the whole class saying “pass” finally coming back to that first child who now knew that every one of his classmates was behind him as he was given another chance to make it through the “six’s” table. With that support he made it and was immediately rewarded with resounding applause and joyful chanting of his name by classmates! the Waldorf philosophy recognizes that the fulfillment of individual human potential promotes the growth and development of humanity. this fulfilled human potential is also our highest hope for a future of global cooperation and peace. "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." albert einstein each child benefitted from that experience in ways that had little to do with math, and much to do with social education. academic focus is always matched with artistic discipline; personal development with social understanding. It is a fundamental goal of Waldorf education to bring students to an understanding and experience of the common humanity of all of the world’s people, transcending stereotypes, prejudices, and divisive barriers of classification by sex, race, religion, nationality, and ability. this understanding leads to a global vision of society and citizenship. 1 14 Haleakala Waldorf School • 4160 Lower Kula Road • Kula, Maui, Hawai‘i 96790 • Tel: (808) 878-2511 • Fax: (808) 878-3341 Alumnas Spotlight JoSH JerMaN Josh Jerman (HWS class of ‘92) is a successful realtor in the Wailea area who was selected into the “top 40 under 40” by the Pacific Business News and who has provided over $20,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors in Maui county. He believes that what distinguishes him as an individual is “a tremendous amount of compassion, patience, and tolerance for people” and attributes the development of these qualities in large part to his experience with Waldorf education. responsibility for the class into social responsibility for Maui’s community. each year he offers $1,000 scholarships to Maui county high school seniors who have been accepted to a four year university. He asks each applicant to reflect on how their education will benefit Maui county and how they plan to share what they gain. Mahalo, Josh, for making a difference to Maui county! even as a child, Josh recognized that his Waldorf teachers held the belief that “each child has a greater purpose.” He observed that his teacher, Ms. eleanor dudley, would guide the students in working together as a class to help everyone through their issues and elevate those who were struggling. He learned to understand where others were coming from, and yet at the same time to recognize what was “his” emotionally and what belonged to someone else. Josh gave the example that he was a person who was not likely to become angry just because someone else was. as a result, Josh believes that Waldorf graduates have the confidence to believe in their own strengths and that they are “people who are far more self-directed” than others. for Josh, this has meant that he is extremely comfortable with who he is and what his values are. He was able to develop his own barometer of what is right and wrong and asks before each decision, “is it harmful to others?” and “what will be the effect on the greater issue at hand?” He has also transformed social info@waldorfmaui.org • Visit our website at: www.waldorfmaui.org • Haleakalā Waldorf School 15 NON-PROFIT ORG.
