Perth Waldorf School, 14 Gwilliam Drive, Bibra Lake WA

This two-year part-time course is designed for those wishing to develop their skills in and understanding of Waldorf teaching and pedagogy. The course is suitable for graduates new to the art of teaching as well as those looking to further develop and enliven themselves as teachers. It is also extremely helpful to parents of children at Waldorf schools to gain a deeper understanding of child development and to learn strategies to support their children through the different stages of Childhood.

The course focuses on the Primary curriculum and also provides a rich experience in personal development through a programme of artistic practice and a thorough understanding of Rudolf Steiner’s educational philosophy. Drawing, painting, modelling, Eurythmy, music, craft, drama, and movement are all brought in a gentle but powerful way. No experience is necessary only a willingness to learn. Experienced Waldorf teachers will assist you in developing your skills and understandings to become artists in teaching all subjects across the Primary curriculum.

The course will run over two years on eight Fridays (4:30 pm to 8:30 pm), and two Saturday mornings (9.00 am to 12.30pm) each term—except fourth term of each year when teachers’ end- of-year commitments are greater. In the fourth term of each year the course will run over four Fridays and one Saturday morning.

On completion of the course, trainees will receive a Certificate of Completion, which will be highly valuable to anyone seeking employment in Steiner schools. With over 1000 Waldorf schools in 60 countries there is great demand for Steiner-trained teachers.
