Grade/Level Cohorts EC through 8th-Grade and Student Support: Picture of the Grade/Level, Math, Literacy, Science, & the Arts

Week two is designed for teachers in schools working out of the core principles of Public Waldorf Education, and the schedule reflects the professional development we believe will be most supportive in preparation for entering the classroom. The instructors have all been involved with schools working out of these principles and look forward to forming cohorts specific to each grade/area in the morning course. The courses in math, literacy and the arts will form as cohorts combining two grades. Please expect to participate in all the courses for your grade/area, as the instructors are working together to build up a complete picture. Our hope is that new friendships will form, new insights and practical skills gained and that participants will leave feeling refreshed and enthusiastic to begin teaching their grade.

Virtual Teaching & Post Pandemic Strategies: Day 2

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

We have before us a unique opportunity to shape the education of the future. The past year and a half forced educators to break out of the industrial revolution's educational structures.  We stretched and grew exponentially. In these quick facilitated discussions we will explore the highs, the lows, the take-aways and how we can bring these back to create even healthier educational environments for the children of today’s generation. Come ready and liisten to shared insights, questions, ideas and “I never thought but…” moments from everyone's unique experiences on day one. On day two we will explore how these can be framed, shaped and morphed with Steiner's views of Waldorf education. Recreating an educational model that continues to grow with gifts for the future.
