EXPLORING SPIRIT IN SUBSTANCE in the Waldorf Curriculum
Sloka Steiner Waldorf Teacher Training (SSWTT)
We are delighted to inform you that we are recommencing the much-awaited SSWTT Course this year after a brief hiatus.
COURSE DETAILS
The theme of this course is “Exploring Spirit in Substance” which we will be offering in 2 modules. The first will present an overview of the transformative power of Waldorf Education through a spirit-filled approach to educating the human being in the Kindergarten and Grade school years (Kindergarten to Grade 8). We will look at how teachers can live into the Waldorf Curriculum through the power of language, capturing the spirit of substances and the living world of forms and numbers.
As always, we will be exploring enlivening activities like form drawing, needle work in Math, making platonic solids, clay moulding and for the first time, the Wish, Wonder and Surprise Block. We will discuss their place and significance in the context of a Waldorf school, with examples of how we incorporate them into the
curriculum.
We hope that teachers across India will take this opportunity to deepen and renew their connection with these vital principles that hold up Waldorf Education in our country. We also look forward to seeing more parents, so we can build bridges between the home and the school, thereby keeping the child in an environment of shared responsibility and trust. We are eager to see people who are curious about Waldorf Education or are exploring options with a view to eventually teach.
The SSWTT course will be conducted in a hybrid mode (both offline and online) from August 16th, 2022 to September 16th, 2022 led by highly qualified mentors from India and abroad. The training will be held and streamed from Monday to Friday (8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.) at Sloka Aziz Nagar campus.

History of Sloka Steiner Waldorf Teacher Training (SSWTT)
Sloka pioneered the Steiner-Waldorf Education in India 25 years ago. It is imperative to have a formalised Teacher Training Program., so we are able to renew ourselves as teachers, and bring key elements of Waldorf Education into our work with students.
Sloka launched the Sloka Teacher Training College 6 years ago. This course has constantly undergone a process of review, revision and renewal throughout these years.
