[Dialogue] 4 Archive Qs - Pre-School Curriculum

[Beret Griffith]

Here is information from The Golden Pathways CD. When I was working 
on the history I got the names of people involved in the early 
pre-school from Nan and Bill Grow. Another layer of research could be 
done for The Archives by anyone willing to take on the project to do 
deeper digging by directly contacting people involved to see what they recall.

Jim Wiegel, perhaps you have some early pre-school stories in the 
interviews you have done with folks.

A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY, 1952-1994, of THE ECUMENICAL INSTITUTE and 
THE INSTITUTE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS.

THE YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1966

SUMMER RESEARCH ASSEMBLY: Six weeks long. RS-1 and Imaginal Education 
Pedagogy. Fifth City Preschool* curriculum created. A teachers' group 
met during the summer. Participants were primarily college students, 
teachers and church leaders.

COUNCIL I: Emphasized writing to clarify context, task & basic 
structures of the organization. "The Prolegomena to the Rule of the 
Order" was written.

Worship was held in the jet hanger.

5th City Preschool opened in September. It was the first 5th City 
structure created as a part of the community reformulation project. 
It dealt directly with the "victim image" of people living in the 
inner city. The first Preschool field trip was an airplane ride over 
Chicago. In 1971 an independent researcher for HEW said, "...Your 
preschool is one of the ten in the nation selected by the Office of 
Economic Opportunity as a particularly suitable for a demonstration 
project." (5th City, Rebirth of the Human City, 1973).

Teachers' Guild formed in the fall: Kay Maconathy, Pat Scott, Sarah 
Hewitte, Anne Filipski, Jim Campbell, Ken Filipski, Dolores Perez, 
Donna McCleskey, Marilyn Miller Oyler and Kay Ent Lush were the first 
participants in the guild.

5th City Preschool teachers 1966-97: Ruth Marshall, Rose West, Nan 
Grow, Aimee Hilliard, Maryann Wainwright. (Grow, 1993.)

The first IMAGE is published. (Grow, 1993).
