2019-2020 AT A GLANCE

A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions.  Martin H. Fischer

As insightful as the quote above maybe, the vision of a room full of students hunting for the exception might cause you to think twice about teaching as a career.

Teacher preparation at Great Lakes Waldorf Institute is thoughtfully designed to challenge your preconceived notions about yourself – socially, intellectually, physically, and artistically – helping you to develop and strengthen your capacities in a supportive social and collegial environment.  Our curriculum and independent classroom study with experienced teachers will assist in the development of your contemplative capacities; deepen your understanding of the whole human being as it unfolds through the critical phases of childhood; help you explore and identify pedagogical approaches and skills that will enhance your teaching; and expand your ability to work with colleagues and parents.

All courses can be audited at a reduced rate for professional development or continuing education. For further information, please contact Sandra at 414.299.3820 or admin@greatlakeswaldorf.org.

Planning to join us for our Summer Intensive and/or a summer weekend workshop from a distance?  Students and guests stay in a variety of places including airbnb rentals (a favorite choice) or through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Marquette University Guest Housing. For more information about lodging, please see 2019 Summer Intensive Program.
