- W3106306019 abstract "From the beginning of my experience as a teacher in the OC and its private school precursor, the Thoreau School, I was intrigued with the role that an evolving philosophy played in the development and sustenance of the program. The debating and refining of the philosophy stands in sharp contrast to my experience in educational settings before and after my involvement in this school. In other teaching contexts in which I have participated, both in elementary schools and at the university level, philosophies are seldom discussed or made explicit. Philosophical positions are sometimes imposed, other times taken for granted; seldom are they debated. Even less often are philosophical discussions used as the central activity for constructing the program. In the beginning of the program, especially during the Thoreau School years (the private school endeavor that began in 1971 and led into the OC public school in 1977), our very survival depended on articulating a philosophy that would bind us together as a group and entice others to join us. Without a clear philosophy to guide us, we had no mission or purpose. As I worked with the program over 15 years, as both a teacher and parent, I was convinced that a continuing discussion of our philosophical roots and putting this philosophy into practice was our lifeline. I worry about the program over the long term if it loses this sense of debate and introspection. The process of clarifying the philosophy not only developed shared norms and practices and articulated these to others, it was also how we educated ourselves. I was hired by the instigating group of parents to be the first teacher at Thoreau School. The first year I had 21 children from 14 families in a kindergarten-to-sixth-grade classroom, from age 5 to 12 years. The basic characteristics of this first school have survived past the Thoreau School years, over the more than 20 years of the OC program's existence as a public school. This was to be a parent co-operative program that encouraged children, parents, and teachers to collaboratively design the program and the curriculum." @default.
