Welcome families and friends of el Rio Charter School.

Our vision is to found a Kindergarten through 8th grade public charter school, opening in 2012, which brings the advantages of a Waldorf style education to Northeast Los Angeles.

We are calling for participants willing to strategize, collaborate and give skills and time to help us
make it happen.

TEDTalk by Sir Ken Robinson on Nurturing Creativity

Thanks to Julia P. I am totally addicted to TEDTalks - usually 18 minute talks by really interesting people from all over the world on Technology, Entertainment and Design.

I just listened to this one by Sir Ken Robinson and had to share it with el Rio readers. It’s spot on.

Conscious, individual expression and personal initiative for the good is a universal value of Waldorf education worldwide. The opinions expressed by the el Rio Charter School founders and school blog authors are ours alone as individuals.

Collectively, we hold to Waldorf's shared human values of (1) the gift of attentiveness (2) the power of initiative, (3) the count-to-ten pause for objectivity, (4) the joy of positivity, (5) the curiosity of openness, and (6) "being the change you wish to see in the world."

We hold the same standard for comments on our blog posts and look forward to your thoughts and conversation starters!
