Primary Teachers’ Creative Intensive
For all teachers and educators of the Primary years
Join the Primary Teacher’s Creative Intensive this September—a nourishing and reflective space for Steiner educators to deepen their professional journey and renew their connection to the art of teaching.
This year’s Intensive centres on cultivating healthy classroom rhythms and guiding behaviour through conscious observation and inner development. As we strengthen our powers of perception, we are led toward more harmonious and imaginative approaches to classroom management—ones that honour the individuality of the child and the spiritual task of the teacher.
Together, we’ll work not only with the outer challenges of teaching, but also turn inward—developing the inner capacities that allow us to meet the children with clarity, warmth, and presence.
This is a two-day in-person event, presented at Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School, in Castlecrag
Limited places available
Course Information
Lectures and workshops will include the following professional development modules:
Positive Discipline: Effective and Caring Classroom Management (NESA) – with Lou Harvey-Zahra
Eurythmy and Inner Development – with Diane Tatum
Watercolour Painting and creative arts – with Robyn Davis
Positive Discipline: Effective and Caring Classroom ManagementDuring this workshop, participants will gain practical skills and classroom management strategies for developing their own effective and positive classroom discipline system. They will learn how to strengthen teacher and student relationships, create positive classroom routines, teach appropriate social and emotional skills to students, and to transform everyday classroom behaviours in a respectful and caring manner. They will have opportunities to ask specific questions for their own understanding and learning, and practical classroom experiences. The aim is for participants to leave feeling more inspired, confident and ready to provide a learning environment for all students, within a framework of positive classroom discipline and management, so that all students can learn in an optimal, safe and respected environment. This course is NESA-accredited Tutor: Lou Harvey-Zahra |
Eurythmy and Inner DevelopmentThe path of Inner Development is central to the path of becoming a Steiner teacher. In these sessions, we’ll explore eurythmy and movement as a path towards inner development. Tutor: Diane Tatum |
Artistic WorkshopsWorking with colour, self-reflective and creative processes, you’ll find access to your own inner strengths, creativity, wisdom and leadership capacities. The workshops will deepen perception of one’s gestures, moods and responses, while strengthening the capacity to perceive these in the children. Through this artistic experience, teachers strengthen their creativity, clarity, and presence, which are essential for guiding behaviour with warmth and authority.
