  • Are You Ready for the Next Step in Teacher Development?

    A growing number of children in our classrooms demonstrate a wide range of learning differences for which we need additional preparation. Some of these are: abilities in specific modes of learning; comprehension and memory weaknesses; social challenges and developmental hindrances. Teachers often ask about creating effective environments for these children. What activities can be included that will provide general or individual practice and bring more balance to a child’s experience?

    If you would like to learn more about the children of today and how to guide them, we offer you a step-by-step enrollment path that lets you choose your level of deepening over time. Whether you’re considering a future as a remedial teacher, or you’re a Class Teacher who would like to build a deeper foundation, we are pleased to announce the Tenth Cycle of AHE Professional Development Courses.

Our main work is with children in regular classrooms who, faced with the challenges of their destiny and the world environment, often require some help for a time.

What is the Extra Lesson?

In our work with the children in the Waldorf school we strive to create a complete picture of each child so that we can best meet his/her needs. Part of the process may include family visits, medical history taking, review of previous school records, including testing, and discussions with all of the child’s teachers. An additional component of our program is called the Extra Lesson, which derives its name from work begun in the 1970s in England, by Audrey McAllen. Taking up Rudolf Steiner’s many lectures about the developing child, she was inspired to develop a first lesson of assessment techniques and then a curriculum of movement, speech, drawing and painting exercises for children found to have learning barriers.
