School Health Practitioners Training |
TRAINING CURRICULUM The course is aimed at equipping the trainees with the necessary knowledge and experience to support the child in the school setting. The aim is to grow the knowledge and understanding of child development and intervention from a truly anthroposophic understanding in our schools. At the same time, their knowledge includes up-to-date safeguarding and mental health interventions. The training is open to doctors, nurses, teachers and therapists. Please see Profile for further info. Q: Is the UK training the same as the International training? A: The International training is aiming at medical doctors wishing to support children at kindergarten and school. While the UK training also includes teachers and therapists working at school. Their title go with their prime profession and their services reflected as well. Q: How did the UK training come about? A: School Health Practitioners Training was born out of the low intake of school doctors and also the need to deepen the anthroposophic understanding of child development among staff within the Steiner schools. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Aiming to run 3 times a year. Please see examples of previous CPD training themes. INTERNATIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES To be a Kindergarten or School Doctor in Waldorf settings requires completing the Continued Training to become a Kindergarten and School Doctor in Kindergartens and Waldorf Schools (or Waldorf-Institutions). An international continuing education conference for school and kindergarten doctors is held annually at the Goetheanum. Lectures, case presentations, working groups and plenary discussions are offered to work on changing topics relevant for different age groups. In addition, there are opportunities to exchange ideas with other school doctors, as well as share experiences with therapists and educators. Furthermore, there are also regional meetings of school physicians, specialist conferences on school eurythmy therapy and further training in anthroposophic paediatrics.

The training was created in response to a shortage of school doctors and the need to deepen anthroposophic understanding of child development in Steiner schools.
