Participatory
Management
The development of this College Project has come about through a parent group with a teaching background in Waldorf Education working collaboratively with a core group of students. It has developed in response to the phenomenon of young people at this age expressing a need for an education, which addresses their wish to take up responsibility.
Freedom, responsibility and collaboration have been key motifs in the development of this project.
This is reflected in the participatory co-management structure of the Waldorf College Project, which includes collaboration between the Co-ordinating Tutor - the Student Group - the Steering Group and support from parents and individuals in the community.
Assessment
The assessment of student work is based on a system of continual assessment, where individual tutors and peer groups assess a planned progression of student work. The recording of assessment is carried out developing a profile of work in conjunction with the student and the amassing of project work in portfolio format.
Accreditation
Student portfolios are accredited by the Open College Network, a national accreditation body.
