Dates

The course begins on Saturday, February Feb. 23 and meets March 23, April 20, and May 18.

A practice session is required before the first class; after registration you will be given a choice of several times in February for that.

Virtual Classroom

Classes are limited to twelve and meet online once a month, using ilinc.com. This is a live, interactive class; you can see the teachers and hear other participants. You will need an Internet connection and headphones with a microphone attached.

Time Required

Prior to each meeting, participants will read text assignments and watch a video of the associated lecture. (Class videos are usually about an hour and a half) Follow-up assignments take from two to six hours monthly. Some assignments require interaction with a child or a class.

Syllabus and Cost

For specifics on the texts and readings required, see the syllabus here. The cost $575, plus $50 registration fee. The price does not include the required textbooks. There is a discount for staff of Living Wisdom Schools.

Enrolling

To enroll, please complete this registration form. You can mail it, FAX it, or e-mail it back as an attachment. Please call 503 671-9112 to let us know that you are sending the form, and we will confirm its receipt.

If you prefer to pay using PayPal rather than sending a check or using a charge card (or if you are not in the U.S.), you can use this link; however, the registration form is still required.

Other Info

All assignments returned by their due dates receive a personal response. There will be a final, open book, exam. Students who successfully complete the course earn a Certificate of Completion of Education for Life coursework. Additional internships and experience are required to become an Education for Life certified teacher.

Starting an Education for Life School

[What I learned] "…will truly help me build the school I have held dear to my heart and could visualize."

The Education for Life system
proves its validity under the
most adverse circumstances. It is practical. It is not a system for the few only—for the
isolated, or the "spiritual":
It is for everybody
.


Children thrive on an experiential approach to values. All they need is the help of a caring, sensitive adult.
