Enki Education Method (Waldorf and United Nations)
Not recommended by Public School Exit.
This is cooperative project learning which is peer or family directed but now depends more on teachers because the family and community are “disintegrating at an alarming rate.” The adult (usually two adults) are seen as the “respected elder” which the child is dependent upon–this impacts content and the role of story in the content. A focus is given to non-hierarchical multiculturalism as developed by the United Nations International school and by Camp Robinson Crusoe under the guidance of Josh Lieberman, father of progressive camping. The Enki approach is also known as Developmental-Immersion Mastery and was developed by Beth Sutton in 1989 with Enki Education starting in 1993 and originated at the Shambhala School in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada).
