BA (Honours) in Steiner Waldorf Education, Exmouth Faculty of Education (University of Plymouth)
"…To infuse new life into the art of education" Rudolf Steiner, 1920
Explore your potential as a creative teacher in a Rudolf Steiner school. The three-year BA(Honours) course offers you the possibility of developing practical teaching skills combined with an understanding of the child as a being of body, soul and spirit. It also encourages you to explore the role of teacher in a world of rapid change, pluralistic values and global interdependance.
This unique and innovative course enables you to study an alternative approach to education. The Steiner Waldorf Schools movement follows a distinctive international curriculum. The Exmouth Faculty of Education’s degree course studies this whilst making a comparison with current educational thinking and practice in Britain.
Each semester throughout the three years of the course, modules are offered which enable you to develop a secure understanding of Steiner-Waldorf education together with a deepening self-awareness derived from artistic activity.
Course content includes an introduction to Steiner's philosophy, child development, curriculum studies, the cultivation of artistic faculties and observational skills, classroom management, practical pedagogy, lesson planning, periods of classroom observation, teaching practice and professional development.
The final year of the course culminates in a self-directed study project linked to placements in a Steiner-Waldorf school.
