Science in Waldorf Education: Wisdom from the Iowa Academy of Science
This Tuesday I presented the new Wildlife Curriculum “Predator, Prey and People” to the Iowa Academy of Science. It was an honor to present at the conference and was inspiring to meet all the teachers, hear their stories, share ideas, answer questions and observe.

Continuity in Curriculum: Waldorf Curriculum: Horizontal and Vertical Alignment
When I look through the Earthschooling curriculum from preschool through high school I can FEEL the harmony pulsing through it. Just like many Waldorf teachers that take a class through many years together I’ve also overseen every lesson myself over the past 32 years and am able to relate this continuity to member teachers, parents […]

Adventures in Arabic Calligraphy
Wednesday Mosi (my 16-year-old) and I taught Arabic calligraphy to a class of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Upon hearing this one may wonder how we could teach an advanced writing technique in another language to a class of students who had never seen the Arabic language before. I was initially a bit apprehensive as […]
