Investing in our teachers. Elevating every student’s experience.

At WSP, exceptional teaching is at the heart of everything we do. A thriving school depends on teachers who are themselves supported, challenged, inspired, and continually growing in their craft.

In this first year, we are focusing on the foundational elements of strengthening WSP’s culture of continuous learning and excellence in teaching. Our efforts will center on the following areas, where student needs and institutional priorities most closely align:

1. School-wide Training for All Faculty

Support for Learning Differences
Differentiated instruction training builds faculty capacity to serve the full range of learners in each classroom, a strategic priority for WSP as we deepen our commitment to ensuring every student is met where they are and supported to reach their full potential.
Integrative Social-Emotional Learning
WSP teachers bring an already rich set of human-centered skills to their classrooms every day. This professional development is designed to deepen that work, building faculty fluency and alignment around an integrative approach to what’s commonly known as social emotional approaches including behavior management, conflict resolution, and restorative practices. Research consistently links strong social life and emotional development implementation to improved academic engagement, reduced behavioral challenges, and better long-term outcomes for students.
This work includes expert facilitators and guest trainers, cohort-based faculty learning, conference attendance and certifications, curriculum research, and program evaluation.

2. Dedicated staffing to support professional evaluation, faculty development, mentorship, training coordination, and long-term program oversight.

3. Individual Faculty Training and Certification

Support for Waldorf teacher training and certification for all non-certified full-time teachers, and continued training for Waldorf certified teachers.
