GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRAINING

When Rudolf Steiner founded the first Waldorf School he was adamant that what he called Curative Education must be contained within the heart of every Waldorf School. He was dedicated to the ideal that every child could and should be served. Over the years, there has been a separation between Curative Education (which Steiner called the deepening of Waldorf Education) and what we see today in most Waldorf Schools. Curative Education has become something many see as only intended for “those kinds of kids.” It is not, nor was it ever intended to be. Meanwhile, the children are waiting for us to serve them.

This new course is designed to support teachers and parents in understanding not only Curative Education, but also understand how Steiner intended it to be used within every classroom. Once we understand the bigger picture we begin to understand how everything we do has an element of healing. In year one we will go through the same content that I have offered for many years as a foundational understanding of Steiner’s Curative Education, but in addition we will simultaneously work through several of Steiner’s lesser known books on the pedagogy, focussing on an understanding of child development, out of which a curriculum can be formed that is truly, as Steiner emphasized, “World Centered.”

I have come to realize that in order for the two streams of Steiner’s picture of education to be reunited the course I offer must reconnect them from the get go. This is a course intended for any teacher currently working within a school as a tool to better understand the children they are serving and what can be done to support each one. It is also intended for those interested in forming small new initiatives working out of Steiner’s intentions for Anthroposophical Education. Additionally, parents who are looking for a deeper understanding of how to support their children are welcome to join.

Last year was the last year I offered a year one. That said, there has still been interest in joining the class already in progress. If you are interested in that please send me an email.

YEAR TWO BEGINS IN THE FALL OF 2025

We will continue exploring Steiner’s work using both his “pedagogical” sources and working deeply with his Curative Education lectures.

Just like year one the course will meet weekly for one hour at a time. Week one of each month will focus on the pedagogical content, week two the curative content, week three we will combine the two and discuss how they can be used every day in any setting, and week four will be a Q and A session.

YEAR THREE

Year three meets twice a month. The first session we will go through one of Steiner’s pedagogical books and relate it to the curative work; talking about how this could look in a classroom.

The second class every month will be a Q and A.
