S1 Episode 9: Leading for Love, Life, Wisdom, and Voice in Steiner Schools: Constraints and Conditions of Possibility
In this episode, Dr Virginia Moller shares about education that matters. Virginia has had over 45 years of experience in education, with 30 of those years in Steiner education. In the podcast, Virginia and interviewer Kristin Reimer discuss what it means to live life purposely and how Steiner schools can focus us in on the parts of this world that really matter: love, life, wisdom and voice. In the chapter that Virginia has written for the World Worth Living In book, Virginia brings together two stories: 1) the story of Steiner education; and 2) the story of her own experience of leading practices in a Steiner school. Surfacing some of the tensions that emerged between Steiner practices of collective decision-making and her role as principal, allowed Virginia to let go of ‘what ought to be’ and focus in on ‘what is’. We learn that a world worth living in for all involves understanding collectively our conditions - in order to transform them.
