July 19-23, 2021 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.
