SUMMARY:Adventures in Anthroposophic Education
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in Anthroposphic Education Movement and Anthroposophy- A Family Affair\n\nHow does the Waldorf curriculum support non-traditional learners? How does movement support strong reading skills? Movement Specialist Faustina Pfister and Reading Specialist Milandra Pfister discuss the ways developmental movement and reading acquisition intersect\, and share a glimpse into how anthroposophy shapes alumni and teacher biographies.\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nWith 25 years teaching at the Denver Waldorf School\, and as a parent to two alumni\, Faustina Pfister observed the impact of movement on children 91̽»¨ ’s academic success as a 1-8 grades teacher.\n\nFaustina 91̽»¨ ’s first encounter with Waldorf education was as a kindergarten student herself—the first time she remembers feeling truly seen\, held by the warmth of a teacher. Later\, witnessing a sibling struggle with learning differences deepened her interest in how children learn in diverse ways.\n\nAs a grades 1–8 teacher\, she noticed that students who struggled academically often faced challenges with movement\, including coordination\, balance\, and bilateral integration. She came to see how rhythm supports math learning and how crossing the midline strengthens language development.\n\nInspired further by her own daughter 91̽»¨ ’s learning journey\, Faustina transitioned out of the classroom to focus on therapeutic movement\, offering children embodied pathways to learning that support the whole child.\n\n\n\nMilandra Pfister is wrapping up her seventh year at 91̽»¨\, where she brings both structure and heart to her work as a Reading Interventionist. A Waldorf alum herself\, and daughter of a Waldorf teacher\, Milandra grew up surrounded by education. Milandra is passionate about helping children access the joy and freedom that comes with reading. She 91̽»¨ ’s especially attuned to the emotional journey of students who struggle with literacy\, celebrating each breakthrough and building their confidence through patient\, individualized instruction.\n\nIn her classroom\, Milandra uses a mix of learning games\, manipulatives\, and lesson variation to keep things dynamic and engaging. Her approach draws on the thinking\, feeling\, and willing framework central to Waldorf education.\n\nMilandra hopes her students leave her care not only with strong reading skills\, but also with a deep sense of self-trust\, the confidence to advocate for their unique learning styles\, and a lifelong love for reading- whether for knowledge\, empathy\, or just plain fun.
