Mission & Vision

The mission of this site is to provide Waldorf teachers with a means of sharing with each other what has worked. It is a place where we can share our curriculum ideas, main lesson pages, music, resources, and, most of all, our inspirations and experience.

How it Works

You will find materials organized by grade and lesson block, each with a tab labeled "Gems." On this tab are individual posts containing curriculum ideas and materials which worked well in the classroom. Each post may have main lesson work or useful materials attached. Teachers may "reply" to a post to add additional material or feedback.

To Consider

As a word of caution, nothing can take the place of our inner work. Any education simply based on methods and materials is not alive. The task of a Waldorf teacher is to teach artistically. We teach artistically when we are connected with the spiritual world, as this is where all true art finds its source.

Is it totally free?

This site is provided completely free to teachers and schools. If you find it valuable, a donation will help cover the costs of maintaining the website.

Why registration is required for certain web site features

Registration assures that you are a human being with a real email address. This helps prevent spamming to the curriculum pages. It also helps keep access to these pages to the intended audience. Those who understand the value will make the extra effort to register.

What is coming..

In June of 2013, I graduated my eighth grade class. After a year off, I started afresh with a new class. I am actively focused on seeding this site with the content from my years of teaching in the grades as well as posting material that other teachers have generously made available.
