The College of Teachers is a group of faculty who are committed to holding the vision of Marin Waldorf School, and to anthroposophy as a guiding principle. The College of Teachers is responsible for strengthening the spiritual, pedagogical and cultural life of the school, and for supporting the faculty’s decision-making process through thoughtful discussion of issues important to Marin Waldorf’s health and growth.

The College of Teachers meets weekly. The content of the meetings includes anthroposophical study, self-development study or pedagogical study, as well as discussion of current school issues.

A College of Teachers Chair is selected by the College of Teachers’ members annually, and represents or designates a member of the College of Teachers to represent the group in meetings and on the Board.

The College of Teachers advises the school director on pedagogical programs and decisions.
