Waldorf Without Walls presents
Homeschool Teacher Training
At Taproot Farm, Barbara's home
Grades 1 – 6 $300
August 14 – 17
Three-day course
Tuition includes room and board
Come and enjoy life in the country, while you learn. Other amenities include the use of Barbara's extensive library, ability to prepare for two grades, canoe, swim, hike, evening activities, such as campfire, hay ride, discussions and games.
These are very comfortable accommodations, although we are not a hotel. You may be sharing a room and will need to bring your own bedding or sleeping bag and towels. You will be assigned to a KP (Kitchen Party) group to help with simple meal prep and cleanup for a few meals during your stay.
It is our purpose to offer a training to suit the unique situation of homeschooling parents and teachers of small groups, keeping in mind the advantages of working in a home, applying Steiner's philosophy to the needs of the homeschooling family.
We are unable to provide child care at this time. Nursing infants are welcome, however.
