Living Lessons are video lessons where a teacher leads the class through the main lessons for this grade. You can use these lessons as examples to follow for your own teaching or can use them as supplements to your own teaching (we all need a break now and then. I would have loved to have these available on days I was ill or was taking care of my fussy baby). Scroll down to the class listings below to see the full syllabus and to view some free samples!

She has worked in many capacities at various Waldorf schools, including: Class Teacher for grades 1-8, Spanish Teacher, English Teacher, Educational Support Coordinator, Early Childhood Assistant, After-Curricular Activities Teacher, and Assistant Dean of Students.
