This video does a nice job explaining -- and just as importantly, showing -- why the blackboard is an essential professional tool for Waldorf teachers. Combining a simple chalkboard, vibrant chalks in a rainbow of colors, and the artistry of Waldorf-trained teachers, academics come to life through the grades.

Excellent video! Such a thorough and beautiful explanation of how and why chalkboards are used in waldorf education. This video was very well done. Thank you!

What is the name of the chalkboards you found that took color well?

I would love to start out with a quality board like this, where can I find it?

Is there a way to find lessons with these drawings?

GRATITUD 🙏🏼

How do the teachers learn to draw like that! Do you have to be an art major to teach at WAldorf?

Chalkboards are beautiful too bad I didn’t experience this in public school I was so excited on my first day in 1999 and walked in a plain cold whiteboard 😞

Sucks they don't use chalk anymore at schools. Isn't it more eco friendly too?? I mean those markers are made of plastic and chemicals.

If it’s elementary school, why don’t they have their own rooms?
