Not a teacher my take on this course has shifted my focus from them to me. How do I present, engage, and ecxite? And then back to children: Are they safe enough to try? Willing to except oneanother? Do they try? What do they think afterwards… are they willing to try?
And then back to me again, What can I do differently? Most of all – What can I do to engage them to dare to try.
The course has confirmed and thought me the importance of making your audiance feel Safe to be able to let Inspiration into you.
I am impressed of the atemt for Waldorf Teachers to know that children must first feel safe in their teacher, in their classrooms. I am totally impressed by the atemt for a Waldorf Teacher to always learn and to learn toghether with other teachers.
It is inspering to let go of all the musts from textbooklearning into real life action. Thank you for letting me take this course.
It is very important, in my opinion, that the tasks given to the pupils are 1) not too complicated, 2) well trained before children begin to work in pairs. It may be obvious, but I have made the mistake of getting them to speak too soon several times. So do not be scared to waste time on exercising – as soon as the children feel ready to speak, they generally enjoy it – and they appreciate it. The topic becomes – this was at least my experience so far – less important because the ability itself makes the most fun.
