AWJ 49 | Waldorf Teacher Mentoring

Getting connected with a good mentor can really make or break your experience and success as a Waldorf teacher. I had a couple of fantastic mentors early in my career and it made all the difference. I attribute those early mentoring years to my continued success. This episode is all about how to connect with a mentor and make the most of the experience.

Do you have a mentor to support your teaching? A lot goes into making those mentoring relationships successful and there are things you can do to make the most of it. I really want to talk today about what makes a good mentoring relationship, how much teachers should tap into their mentor as a resource, and how a mentor needs to be very clear about his or her role.

This episode is being brought to you by my free workshop, the 3 classroom management strategies every Waldorf teacher needs to know, which goes live in early February.

I’m really excited to offer this workshop because I think it is something that isn’t talked about enough in our training courses and it is exactly what Waldorf teachers need to be thinking about right now.

Just head over to www.awaldorfjourney.com/strategies to sign up for the workshop.

Also, registration opens soon for my new course, The Practical Art of the Waldorf Classroom. In this course, we’ll talk about some big topics that should be on your mind during the school year. 

• Rhythms and Routines
• Classroom management
• Imagination in the classroom
• Working with parents
• Working with students

The course begins on February 16th and you can get more information by going to awaldorfjourney.com/practicalart
