Spencer Dirats

My name is Spencer Dirats, and I am the grade 8 teacher of the Aspen Class. I am also the Peer Tutoring coordinator and working on creating leadership opportunities for our middle school students.
Prior to my arrival at WCS, I was a high school foreign languages and leadership teacher in the northeast. I came to Utah for the start of the 2017-2018 school year with the hopes of finding a school community that better aligned with my personal teaching philosophy and to dive deeper into the world of alpine ski racing - my other passion. I am ecstatic to report that I have found both. I cannot imagine any school being a better fit for me than WCS.
I am also a coach on the Brighton Ski Team, and that occupies most of my time outside school. When I'm not working with my students or my athletes, you can find me on the road in the wildest outdoor spaces that the West has to offer gathering fodder for lessons about environmental ethics and outdoor advocacy!

Waldorf philosophy does not provide a recipe for a certain lifestyle, but an opportunity to pursue a healthy and holistic development of one's capacities in harmony with one's social environment and with the natural world, and in congruence with one's own cultural background and spirituality.
