[Dialogue] Preschool curriculum

Sat Apr 23 16:10:47 CDT 2011

By 1969/71, when Faith Vance and I taught in the Infant School, under Lela Jahn, we were given a basic framework - such as the weekly themes - but we created the curriculum in terms of day to day lesson plans/activities.  I don't know if any copies of it still exists. At one point, Bob and Barabar Prather visited and filmed us teaching. That would be great to see!

It was wonderful fun to "spiral" the concepts and information down to be communicated in the most basic, energetic, engaging ways for infants. I've used the skill I gained in doing that over and over in my career as an educator. 

Last May, George and I and our son, Jordan, visited the 5th City Pre-School. It was such a thrill to hear and see some of the old songs and rituals still being used. And, of course, the best part of all, was visiting with Ruth Carter, who was the local presence that always kept that energy and spirit alive. Great stuff.

Public school teachers and head start teachers built the curriculum.  David McCleskey built the framework. Donna had a lot to do with it.  The original Head start teachers were Aimee Hilliard, Kaye Hayes (Now Kaze Gadway), James Addington and a young man who was with us only a year whose name I think was Steve.  Second group included Ruth Marshall, Phyllis Christmas, Ray (18 year old from australia who later became Joe's right hand man)and Kaye Hayes.  I was there three years.  Why can't I remember Ray's last name?  I was with him in  Chicago, Sydney and India.  It was first called the Life Triangles.  Sarah Buss may have first draft.

Questions about Imaginal Education...any idea who wrote the original curriculum. Wasn't Ruth Marshall part of that? I went to the original four weekends that offered IE...

I will start with question #4.  The oldest info that I have found so
far in the archives is an "article written corporately by forty-six
teachers and school administrtors meeting as n academy at the
Ecumenical Institute: Chicago, using the methods of brainstorm and
gestalt designed to enable the uses of every insight present.  This
article represesnts an informed stance toward the situation in
education today. (August 1969)"

That doesn't answer your question.  But I will see what information I
can find about a "who" involved in creating curriculum.  As you know
most things were done corporately.
Then I'll see what  I can speak to your other questions.  Today I'm
involved in looking for South America HDP information.
