about the Author
A WALDORF DIARY, the authentic record of my years as a class teacher, is designed as a helpful guide to enrich Main Lesson blocks, support your development as a teacher and save hours of preparation time – day by day through seven years.
about the Diary
A WALDORF DIARY consists of separate block guides whose detailed day-by-day lesson plans are illustrated with samples of blackboard drawings, and with bookwork, projects, artwork and craftwork produced by the children.
They also include mentoring comments, examples of classroom conversations, letters of information to the parents, purpose-designed exercises and worksheets, topic-related stories and thoroughly researched presentation notes.
There is no better teacher than a good example, and it is easy to adapt these successful lesson plans to your needs:
Each block guide comes with a free supplement of songs, poems, verses and exercises for the start of the day and the seasonal Morning Circle.
Use this programme as is, or fill its template with items from your nation’s treasury to create a similar sequence for a different season or setting. These collections are also great for teaching English as a foreign language.
All block guides are sold separately at affordable prices. No need to commit to a year’s worth of material!
