I’m right with you on all of the above and when I first started teaching I was completely overwhelmed by the idea of creating my own curriculum entirely from scratch. Even though I knew it was the perfect thing for my students.
But what made the difference for me? How did I finally overcome the overwhelm and get to planning?
- I had the support of a fantastic mentor.
- I got some teaching years under my belt.
- I tapped into a fantastic community of teachers and homeschoolers.
I’m so grateful to have had that support and I feel like I’ve gotten pretty darn good at planning curriculum. Now it’s time for me to give back and pass that support on to others!
I want to teach you how to plan your own curriculum that will give your students everything they need, be completely manageable for you and help save you money on expensive curriculum materials.
This is a self-paced online course that will help you accomplish the task of creating your own Waldorf curriculum.
- As soon as you sign up you’ll gain instant access to all of the modules, lessons and downloadable worksheet and resource pages — with a 30-day guarantee.
- As part of this mentoring, I will provide feedback and mentoring with your block rotation and one of your block plans.
- The course includes 4 modules with 5 lessons each (module 4 has just 3 lessons) and each one outlines planning for your year, month, week and day.
- There is nearly 6 hours of video content, as well as worksheets and PDF resources to print or download.
By joining this course, you’ll be joining a group of teachers and homeschoolers with similar goals. You’re not alone. Along our planning journey we can support each other on the A Waldorf Journey Facebook page. You’ll have a chance to connect with others and get support, encouragement and personal feedback.

I enjoyed reading this, Meredith. I put our oceanography and meteorology in with a sort of world geography approach, but I love this way too. Thank you so much for sharing!
I could imagine doing it that way, too. I’m so excited about this block. Fun stuff!
