Starting a School (创办一所学校)

New Initiatives (新的开端)
The RSSA would be glad to hear of any new initiatives in Steiner education in Australia, so that we may be able to be of some assistance. You are warmly invited to make contact with us.
RSSA非常高兴地知道任何在澳大利亚办史坦纳教育的想法和行动，我们或许会提供些帮助。非常欢迎你和我们联系。

Checklist for New Initiatives (最初的行动清单)
The following is a guide to help you focus on issues and concerns which should be considered prior to the founding of a new school initiative. Initiative groups follow many different patterns in their development, but in recent years a certain trend has evolved - namely study groups for adults, leading to playgroups, and then to a kindergarten and lastly to a school. The timing varies but a solid foundation in Steiner education and Anthroposophy is important if the school is to be not just another alternative school. For the school to flourish and thrive, just like a plant it needs to be placed in fertile and well-prepared soil, be strongly rooted and well-nourished and cared for.
下面这个指南集中了你在开始筹建一个新学校以前需要考虑的问题和事情。筹建小组在发展过程中可以遵循许多模式，但是近些年形成了一个特定的趋势——那就是成人的学习小组，进而形成活动小组，接着形成幼儿园，最后形成学校。时代在变化，如果这个学校不是为了标新立异的话，史坦纳教育和人智学的基础是非常重要的。学校的发展和存活，像植物一样，也需要肥沃和精耕细作的泥土，才能牢牢的扎根，吸收养分，茁壮成长。

Establishing Study Groups (建立学校小组)
Study groups are usually founded which meet every week or fortnight. Books about Steiner education are studied and guest speakers can be invited into the community to lecture on the education. Popular books for new study groups include the A.C. Harwood books, or one or the other overviews of Steiner education by Francis Edmunds, Rene Querido or M.C. Richards. Introductory study groups can also work with Lifeways, Children at Play, The Incarnating Child, You are Your Child's First Teacher, The Young Child: Creative Living with two to four year olds. Basic books by Rudolf Steiner include Education of the child in the Light of Anthroposophy and Kingdom of Childhood. Caroline von Heydebrand's Childhood is also a classic. These books and more can be obtained from the Rudolf Steiner Bookshops.
In establishing study groups, it is good to find a mentor/helper. Even if this person can only come once a year, he or she can add much depth to the study and help with suggestions as to other books, answer questions and so forth.
学习小组通常一个星期或每两个星期开一次会。学习史坦纳教育方面的书籍，也可以请外人来做教育方面的讲座。对于一个新的学习小组，常用的书有A.C. Harwood 出版的书，或者一个或两个由Frankcis Edmunds, Rene Querido, M.C. Richards 出版的关于史坦纳教育综述的书籍。学习小组的入门书籍可以是：Lifeways, Children at Play, The Incarnating Child, You are Your Child's First Teacher, The Young Child: Creative Living with two to four year olds.  由史坦纳写的关于教育的基础著作有：《基于人智学的儿童教育》和《童年的王国》。  由Caroline von Heydebrand's写的《儿童》也是很经典的一本。这些书都可以在Rudolf Steiner 的书店找到。

Founding a Play Group （成立活动小组）
This is a less official step than founding a kindergarten - many communities find it is a good starting point in their work with children. Play groups are led by individuals who are serious in their study of Steiner education but may not yet have a full training.  Play groups usually meet in a home and often have up to 4-8 children.
和成立一个幼儿园比起，这一步不那么正式。许多社区发现活动小组是一个开始关于孩子的工作的好的起点。活动小组由一些严肃对待学习史坦纳教育的个人领导。活动小组一般在家里开会，并且有4至8名儿童。
Again mentors may be found to help guide the curriculum and methodology in such playgroups - either from nearby established Steiner playgroups or kindergartens or from the Early Childhood Association.
同样，活动小组中可以从已经成立的史坦纳活动小组中，幼儿园，或者儿童早期协会中寻找老师帮助指导课程和学习的方法。

Creating a Kindergarten （创办幼儿园）
This is an official step which requires legal incorporation, full licensing through the appropriate government departments (DOCS, Board of Studies), rental of space, and employment of fully trained Steiner kindergarten teacher/s.
这是一个正式的，需要合法化的步骤，需要去政府机关备案，租房子，雇佣受过史坦纳教育训练的老师。
There is a shortage of such teachers - sometimes it is helpful to identify individuals in your community who are interested in such training or re-training. In Sydney, there are two courses:
这样的教师通常比较缺乏。有时候在你所在的社区发现一些对史坦纳教育感兴趣的个人会很有用。在悉尼，有两个课程：
o Journey into the World of Young Children - a part-time course for those working with children under the age of 5
o 走进的儿童世界——一个业余时间，针对5岁以下孩子的课程。
o Diploma Course in Rudolf Steiner Education (Kindergarten) 2 years full-time studies
o 鲁道夫史坦纳教育证书课程——2年的全天学习
Both courses run at Parsifal College (02 9261 4001)
这两个课程在Parsifal College开设。
Close contact with your nearest Steiner school and with the RSSA is helpful as there will be access to experienced teachers who can assist and advise.
和你最近的史坦纳学校以及RSSA联系会对你有益，你可以接触到有经验的教师，为你提供帮助和建议。

Founding a School （成立学校）
This is a very large step, for once the school is committed to a Class 1, it must be able to keep adding a new class each year for the next 6-8 years at least. This will require additional space, additional class teachers, subject teachers etc.
这是宏大的一步，因为学校一旦开始一年级，就意味着她要在至少今后6至8年里不断的增加新年级。 这需要更多的场所，更多的老师，以及主课教师，等等。
A strong foundation is very necessary in this pioneering stage. Careful planning and realistic assessment of resources is essential. Trained teachers are essential and must be paid award salaries which together with "oncosts" is a large part of the school's expenditure. It is entirely possible that in the first year or so of the school's life the teacher's salary will have to be underwritten because you will not have the numbers to support it.
一个坚实的基础对于这个初创阶段来讲非常重要。仔细的规划和务实的评价资源必不可少。受过训练的老师是必不可少的。必须付给老师的薪金以及其他“间接成本”占据了大部分学校的开支。对于第一年甚至之后些年，学校必须和教师签订合同，否则你不知道钱的具体数目。
There is an excellent handbook printed by the RSSA (obtainable from June Cunningham: 27 Central Rd, Avalon, NSW 2107. You can also email June or download a flyer for this publication) which sets out all the administrative and legislative requirements involved in the establishment and operation of a school.
RSSA出版了一本很不错的书（你可以从June Cunningham: 27 Central Rd, Avalon, NSW 2107获得。 你在可以email给June或者下载它的简介），它陈述了在开办和运营一所学校在管理方面和法律方面的需求。
It is important to the RSSA that all our schools, new and established, strive for the excellence inherent in our philosophy and methods, then we can meet any assessment of our work with confidence. This is all the more important now as there is an ever increasing interest in both the public and private sector in what Steiner education has to offer. We must do nothing to imperil our good name.
对于RSSA来讲，让我们的刚建立的，已经建立的学校按照我们的哲学和方法良好的成长是至关重要的， 这样我们才能充满信心的面对各种对我们工作的评估。这点变得越来越重要，因为对史坦纳教育的兴趣无论是公立的还是私立的机构都在不断增长着。我们不能做任何有损我们名誉的事情。
