Details:
Adolescence brings a significant change for students in the middle school years. A properly structured science curriculum can help guide their thinking while connecting them to the world around them. This talk will explore the underlying intentions of the Waldorf curriculum in the middle school years as well as give concrete examples of the ways in which these are carried out.
Elan Leibner, a class teacher at the Waldorf School of Princeton for eighteen years, subsequently directed a teacher education program at Emerson College, UK, before returning to the US and serving as a mentor and teacher educator throughout the country. He is the editor of the Research Bulletin for Waldorf Education and a member of the Pedagogical Section Council.
