Education students will be encouraged to participate in the Waldorf College Education Club throughout their college experience.
All Waldorf students in the education program are required to give 12.5 hours of community service per semester, participating in activities sponsored by community groups related to their profession, or to volunteer activities. All community service needs to be volunteer, non-paid activities. If there is a question whether or not it is community service, see an education department member.
As education students move through the program, they need to record their experiences with diversity on the Diversity Log.
As specified by law since October 2000, education students will submit a waiver and fingerprint card with an accurate self-report of all past criminal convictions. This is used for an FBI/DCI criminal history background check.
