Teacher Training courses?

in studying the Waldorf approach to child development, Waldorf curriculum
and pedagogy and arts in the Waldorf curriculum, anyone who is interested
in earning a Masters in Education with a Waldorf Emphasis and anyone wishing
to earn a Waldorf Teaching Certificate. Our classes may also be taken for
teacher enrichment or for anyone interested in learning more about Waldorf
Education.
Q: What kind of accreditation
will I earn if I attend the course? Can I get undergraduate credit?

through the Mt. Mary College graduate program will receive credits toward
a Masters in Education degree. You may also register through Mt. Mary

Many colleges and universities make it possible for their students to
take courses over the summer, which may be applied to their programs.
Students may also audit the courses (without credits) in our three-year
Waldorf teaching program. Graduates of both programs will earn Waldorf
Teaching Certificates. Great Lakes Teacher Training is affiliated with
AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America) as a new training
initiative.
Q: Who
are the faculty that are teaching the classes?

Teacher Training faculty is made up of trained, experienced Waldorf teachers
coming from a variety of backgrounds to share their areas of expertise.

and most of them are long-time Waldorf parents. We also bring in teachers
from outside this region to present specific courses throughout the training
sequence.
