Waldorf Teacher Education
WTEE offers a 2-year program consisting of the Foundation Year and the Education Year.
The Foundation Year provides the spiritual, cognitive basis for future educators: a deep, comprehensive understanding of the human being and the world, as it is made possible through Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science. Some students who do not plan to become teachers enroll with WTEE for the sole purpose of taking the Foundation Year.
The Education Year builds on these insights and guides students in the application of the child-centered Waldorf curriculum in such a way that they can develop within themselves the capacity and the skill to find teaching methods out of their own inner resources. Full completion of the Foundation Year and the Education Year leads to certification as a Waldorf Teacher.
Arts Enrichment Project
WTEE also offers a range of community education classes, the Arts Enrichment Project. These are separate from the Teacher Education main program, and are open to the entire community.
