Episode Details

Classroom management is a topic that isn't talked about enough in our Waldorf teacher training institutions. My teachers said that every situation was so unique, it was difficult to come up with blanket recommendations and practices. But there are things we can do. And cultivating that idyllic, beautiful Waldorf classroom takes some work.

This episode is being brought to you by my Fall Productivity Course. My Summer Productivity Course is winding down and I’m getting ready to lead a new group through a whole new set of topics all about the tasks Waldorf teachers need to think about in the fall. Topics for my Fall Productivity Course include:

• Rhythms and Routines
• Classroom Management, part 1 — engagement
• Classroom Management, part 2 — discipline
• Imagination in the Classroom
• Working with Parents
• Working with Students

The course begins October 6 and you can get more information by going to http://www.awaldorfjourney.com/fallcourse.
