This is one of the best representations of Waldorf Education and the John Morse program I have seen to date. Way to go, Malaika and crew!

Spanish-World Language

I'm glad to know that intrinsically, I'm on the right path. I've adopted aspects and was inspired to utilize others in the way I teach not having known that these methods were implemented in the Waldorf Method Schools. I think it's a shame some urban students today don't have the creative aspect of learning incorporated into their daily learning lives. I feel lucky to have attended a suburban school. I will, however, provide opportunities for my students to learn the material in an unconventional way which in my opinion is more beneficial, lasting and fun.
