 Iralearn - Steiner Teacher Training - India
Sophia and Gareth will be assisting this course for Teacher Education December 2016. http://www.iralearn.com/faculty
The IRA Foundation Course spans seven modules over 3-4 years with two modules every year (May-June & December-January). Each module of this Teacher Training is a week-long, intensive training programme. The day's activities include eurythmy, text study, phenomenological observation exercises, practical classroom activities, assignment presentations, group discussions, reviews and lectures. Each student is mentored on a personal basis by the faculty during the entire period of the course. http://www.iralearn.com/content


The time between two modules is spent by the individuals in deepening their knowledge and skills in their own journeys. Each student is expected to maintain a log on their personal assignments such as:​
  • Self development exercises
  • Observation exercises
  • Practical application
  • Steiner text study
  • Internships and mentoring
​
The first module was held in December 2015 at Chennai.
