Waldorfy

Ashley Renwick

Waldorfy serves to explore and explain Waldorf Education and Anthroposophy. In most episodes, I discuss topics with a Waldorf teacher, or someone with knowledge about anthroposophy, to deliver accurate, simple, interesting, information and explanations. When possible we’ll bring to attention any research or studies surrounding the topics we are exploring. My main aim is to reach parents, perspective parents, and alumni to engage them with the meaning and purpose of Waldorf Education and it’s connection with anthroposophy.

In this special trailer episode I'm introducing the theme for the fifth season of the show: "Waldorf Through the Grades".
Throughout this season I'll be hosting seasoned Waldorf teachers to talk to me about each grade on it's own starting with grade one continuing though grade eight. we'll be discussing the different developmental stages of the child as they pass through each grade and dive deeper into the Waldorf curriculum and how it works to meet the needs of that developing child.
I'm also speaking in this trailer with my Waldorf alum husband, Tobin, about some of his Waldorf experience and how it contrasts with my own.
