Whole Child Waldorf Education with Desiree Varasteh Ep#10

I loved recording this interview because it was done in the warmth and coziness of a Waldorf 1st grade classroom. Desiree is really passionate about what she does- it really comes through when she talks about children and this kind of education. And her children ADORE her and I believe that is what makes a great and effective educator. Talking to her made me excited for the future of the children at Waldorf schools, because they are in the company of and under the guidance of Waldorf educators like Desiree and the excellent staff at the Waldorf schools I've visited around the country. They are authentic, intelligent, and loving people. In our conversation, she talks about how she came to teach Waldorf education, her journey with it so far, and about the history and benefits of this kind of education.
