Weaving Connections: Meeting The Children of Today
Wednesday, October 29, 2025
4-5:30pm PT / 7-8:30pm ET on Zoom
What does Waldorf Education look like as it connects with modalities such as anti-bias education, culturally and historically responsive education, decolonizing education, and the complex world of state curriculum standards?
In response to many requests and to support teachers in their daily classroom work, Alma Partners is offering a Community Class Series in Fall 2025/Winter 2026 in which teachers will share about the concrete, practical steps they are taking to contextualize their pedagogy, curriculum, and classroom for the young people in their care. Our series will be jump-started with special guest Melody Birdsong-Shubert, who teaches in a Waldorf Early Childhood program.
Through this series, we will explore what contextualizing means, and discuss the delicate and skillful art of weaving traditional Waldorf education with the needs of the children in front of us. Guests with expertise working with different age groups will present their work, share resources, and engage directly with questions from participants. We will also hold additional space for brainstorming, with facilitation provided by Alma Partners.
Fee: Sliding scale, $25-100 per person.
Link will be shared after you register.
Note: Pricing is per person. Our sliding-scale pricing is intended to make our courses accessible to as many people as possible. Please pay the most you are able to afford, in order to keep lower-price spots open for those who need them. If you are in a double-income family or household, have savings or inherited wealth, own your home, and/or can afford vacations, please consider contributing at a higher tier.
*Please note: in alignment with the Alma Partners core value of Centering Relationship, we do not record our sessions! Please plan to attend all three sessions.

About the presenter:
Melody Birdsong-Shubert was drawn to Waldorf education because it exists as a foundation for renewing humanity. It tasks community members to practice behaviors that embody this courageous and compassionate effort. Initially, Melody participated in a three-year long Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher Training with Sunbridge Institute. And, each year she participates in continued development workshops, courses, and conferences that seek to enhance an educator’s understanding of child development, inclusive of societal impacts. Melody combines this shared knowledge with personal development to serve as a courageous, compassionate, and contributing member within early childhood communities.
