Creating Change!
Working towards renewal through the habit life
of school, classroom, and teacher.
Each year, we invite lead presenters to share insights on a theme of current relevance for teachers in Waldorf schools. In addition, our team of experienced teachers will share their knowledge with each grades track, ensuring you receive a wide range of perspectives and practical support. Over the course of the week, an understanding of the essential developmental motifs and learning intentions for each grade will be built to anchor you in your year.
This year, we are very happy to have Warren Lee Cohen leading our lower grades week. Warren will help us to understand the joys, perils, and successful pathways towards innovating the Waldorf curriculum and the need to bring about outer change through inner work. He will share his years of experience both as a class teacher and as a former director of the Waldorf teacher training program in Toronto, Canada.
During the upper grades week, Paolo Carini will focus on the importance of the inner attitude of the teacher towards the sciences, specifically: What is the right balance of information, enthusiasm, and practical experiences that the class teacher should aim for? The upper grades invite the class teacher to awaken and deepen their own connection to the scientific outlook and especially to build a relationship to modern science that has moved beyond a materialistic worldview. As we lead the middle schooler into a more concrete understanding of the world, we must be careful in these first steps of laying the groundwork for contemporary and future understanding.
