Class Experience

Welcome to Ms. Jodi's Classroom!

Enter the world of Waldorf education, gifting your child with a relaxed, beautiful space to grow in reading analysis while receiving an elite private school education at home!  

Dive with me into the archetypal mermaid found in tales around the world in this 8 week semester class.  We will read mermaid tales and myths (and even a graphic novel), create drawings/colorings, answer journal prompts, write a short story and explore some underwater treasures (shells and pearls).  In the Waldorf curriculum myths and legends from other cultures run deep and these explorations stem from my own ocean studies and journeys.  


This format allows students to access the videos whenever it is convenient for them even when traveling or in a different time zone.   This is an independent study self-paced course that students can take their time on. 

 There are no grades for this course but students will get the most out of it by completing the assignments.

Learning Goals

Students will hear mermaid tales from around the world.
Students will understand what a character archetype is.

I am a Waldorf educator having worked as a school librarian and library/research subject teacher for 6 years with grades K-12 as faculty at a Waldorf school in rural Pennsylvania.  I also worked as the first grade rest time teacher bringing calm and beautiful stories to this grade every day for many years. I have trained, been mentored by, and served along with some of the most experienced and dedicated Waldorf class and subject teachers in the world, some of whom have passed on and given me the greatest gift possible...to see their joy in teaching young souls. I also served as the reading coach for our school Reading Olympics team with over 40 students per year voluntarily coming to my library for an extracurricular where students were excited to read over 45 books a school year!  

I have been offering comprehensive and affordable private lessons for Waldorf and other students around the world for several years. I also offer special Waldorf grades classes where students can connect with other students around the world.  Our comfort with zoom now allows me to come to you no matter where in the world you may be!  From day one, my students notice the improvement in their abilities and overall comprehension but parents especially note the change in their confidence. I get letters every day from parents telling me how much they see the confidence in their student improving after working with me.  Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to find out how I can help you achieve your academic goals.  As both a Waldorf former homeschooling mom and a teacher at a Waldorf school, I offer a unique experience to wherever your student may be-at home or at school-while needing extra lessons.

I have also taken private courses in archetypes and studied the work of Carl Jung as a B.S. Psychology student.  I am also a published writer in the Waldorf publication LILIPOH magazine. I lived on a Navajo reservation for several summers. I also have Masters classes in Library Science, Human Services, as well as diversity training. I ran a middle and high school library at the Waldorf school where I taught creative writing, library, and research classes for six years.  I also worked in the Waldorf kindergarten and grades as an aftercare teacher.  

I have worked for almost 3 years on Outschool with middle and high school students, seeing their amazing creativity and insight in archetype work.
