THE WALDORF TEACHER Waldorf teachers are qualified in a unique pedagogy with a global perspective that promotes peace and humanity. They are well-prepared to deliver their lessons orally (without the use of textbooks), and possess artistic dispositions to draw out the creativity within each child. Waldorf faculty members receive Waldorf teacher certification and attend training programs offered at accredited specialty colleges and research institutes. These centers for Waldorf education, including the Goetheanum in Germany, hold courses and conferences for faculty throughout the year.
