Class Teacher Rejuvenation: Grades 2-5 and Grades 6-8

Grades 2-5: June 24-28, 2019

Grades 6-8: July 1-5, 2019

*Please note that this course is only for those attendees currently working in a Waldorf School.

Today, Waldorf class teachers must find deep reserves of energy and enthusiasm by connecting with the images that will inspire them in their work for the coming year.

We believe that the best way for teachers to prepare themselves in this week long course is to:

Allow time for
Healthy reflection and digestion,
Enlivening artistic work, and Anthroposophical study.

To search deeply for
The essence of the coming grade,
Developmental motif of their class,
Key elements in the curriculum.

We aim to support teachers to become
Creative, inspired, and grounded.

We try to support teachers in a way suitable for the 21st Century so that they

Can work out of their own inner resources,
Find ways to counteract the speed and nervousness of our culture,
Do not feel overwhelmed.

Our course model takes advantage of the availability of very experienced teachers who are with us for our Teacher Training Program. This allows participants receive a very rich and diverse range of subjects and approaches from our class and specialist subject teachers.

We work out of a collaborative approach of shared striving that seeks to uphold and engender the social impulse in Waldorf education.
