Taking Hands Around the World

Working online makes it possible to include colleagues from many countries, enriching our work to the benefit of all the children in our care. 

 

Our synchronous (live online) handwork teacher training courses are scheduled Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2:00pm Pacific Time, one weekend a month.

 

Our NEW hybrid teacher training courses offer participants in time zones between Myanmar and New Zealand the opportunity to work alongside at their own pace, and meet live with instructors one weekend per month on Fridays 3:00-5:00 pm Pacific Time - Saturday mornings in Australia / SE Asia time zones.


In our 2 years together we will be digging deep into the foundations of teaching handwork. We will work our way through grades 1-8. Each month you will receive a selection of reading materials, patterns, project instructions, resources, and assignments to complete in your own time before we meet.

 

We offer extensive exploration of the essence of handwork and its pedagogical value within the broader Waldorf curriculum. Building on Steiner’s indications, we explore the ways in which Waldorf handwork education can honor multiple traditions in independent, public, or homeschool settings.

 

We provide you with the resources to meet each child in a developmentally appropriate way, to succeed in your collegial work, parent education, and development of your personal inner work, helping you thrive as a handwork teacher in the long term.

Our students say

"This training has been, in short, soul affirming. It has deepened my understanding of Handwork, broadened my knowledge of Waldorf pedagogy, and brought me so many practical projects and lessons for my students. Our cohort has become a beautiful family from all four corners of the earth. I'm so grateful for this rich, inclusive, and diverse training program."
