Professional Development for Waldorf Teachers Part-Time
The RSCT Part-Time Waldorf Teacher Certification Program consists of three weeks of mandatory courses during the Summer Festival for three years, plus two years of one-on-one mentoring sessions and observation visits. Many practicing teachers have found this Professional Development for Waldorf Teachers part-time program to be a good solution to completing their Waldorf teacher education while still continuing to work as teachers in Waldorf schools. If you would like to learn more about this program please visit our website at www.rsct.ca for more information and to register.

From the 2020 Online Summer Festival Participants
“The overall set-up of the on-line course was well done. The sheet with zoom links worked very well, and got me into all the sessions easily. The optional forums were a great addition. I have wanted to take courses with the RSC for years, but due to the cost of flights, accommodation and course fee, I haven’t been able to do so. This on-line course has been truly a gift, as it was affordable and logistically doable. I really hope that in the future this option will remain possible for teachers living far away from Ontario. If there is an on-line course option next year, I would love to register again (for the next grade intensive).”
“Thank you for providing this excellent course. What I have learned during the course will help me navigate through this school year a lot smoother!”
“I appreciated the good quality forums.”
“I cannot thank you enough for the amazing summer festival you worked so diligently on.”
