Waldorf Education: The Path of the Teacher and the Education of the Child

Learning through relationship is the most powerful and direct educational experience.  

A loving and understanding care for the earth, plants, animals and our fellow travellers

through life begins with relationships within the family, broadens into the wider

community and eventually expands more as children enter school.

Self-education is a necessary tool for us as Waldorf teachers so we begin this series of

explorations into Waldorf education with a focus on the path of education of the adult

whose charge it is, or will be, to shape the education of the children in who come to us.

Thus the series will lead us through various aspects of the life of a Waldorf school from

the personal responsibility of the teacher, relationships with the parents and their

families, relationships to various subject areas and learning styles, leading us to a wider

perspective of the Waldorf movement and it’s organizational support systems.  The year

will close with a week long summer intensive focusing on the practice of speech and

tone eurythmy, one of the most unique gifts to the education of teacher and student

alike.
