Steiner Primary Teaching
The Bachelor of Education (Steiner Primary Teaching) programme is equips educators with the skills, knowledge and dispositions they need to be effective primary and intermediate teachers, in Steiner settings and in state schools.The Steiner approach to teaching places a large emphasis on the role of the imagination in learning.
Considerable freedom is given to Steiner schools and teachers to develop their own curriculum and there is an overall view that childhood is divided into seven-year developmental stages, each having its own learning requirements.
Worldwide there are over 1000 Steiner Waldorf schools and growth in Steiner education is expected to be considerable.
WHAT THIS SPECIALTY COVERS
Students will cover key subjects taught in schools along with Steiner education theories and perspectives.
Students will experience student teaching in a range of settings within schools, and in the final year, in Steiner schools.
Placements will vary in length, and will enable students to connect theory and practice. A specialist Steiner lecturer is here to support students with their studies.
