How we build our courses
Waldorfish brings trained and experienced teachers into your homeschool classroom!
Most educators are stressed about teaching at least some of the subjects they need to cover.
And by “educators” I mean home AND classroom, just so we’re all on the same page.
At Waldorfish, we create video-based courses that teach the subjects typically causing Waldorf educators the most anxiety.
Our courses are a collaborative effort between trained Waldorf teachers.
Our teachers bring their years of experience from their classrooms, and in many cases, from mentoring & training other teachers too. Brian and I bring our our own time from the classroom, as well as our experience homeschooling, and our experience translating the content into a digital experience. The result is:
Courses crafted to deliver lessons that are true to the Waldorf pedagogy, in a way that addresses the unique needs of homeschooling families!
Creating things – taking an idea and building it from nothing into something – is pure JOY for us! The process of taking an idea-seed for a course, and molding, shaping and re-shaping it with the course Teacher is invigorating (and sometimes exhausting) – but always so rewarding!
This process takes months (always more months than we think it will!), many Zoom calls, lots of Google docs back and forth, and some tech mentoring.
(we see you teachers, learning to ROCK those video recordings!)
Supporting the work of Waldorf teachers
Very early on in the life of Waldorfish, we committed to sharing the revenue from all our course sales with the teachers of each program. There were, of course, other models we could have chosen to follow, but this is what felt the most true for us.
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again – being a teacher typically has more spiritual rewards than financial ones (ahem.) We decided that Waldorfish would not only be how we supported our own family, but how other teachers could help support their families too!
