EP218: A question from the Art of Homeschooling community inspired this podcast episode covering the concept of deep vs. wide from a Waldorf homeschooling perspective. In this episode, Jean describes how to build a main lesson block around a significant and pivotal event in the course of human development. This idea can be applied to teaching any topic from world or national history to geography and science. Jean illustrates the development of a main lesson topic through the "deep dive wave" and provides concrete examples and insightful reflections. Why and how does diving deep create more memorable learning experiences for children than covering a topic in a broad and comprehensive approach?  Tune in to gain clarity about the nuances of Waldorf-inspired homeschooling that are rarely addressed in curriculum guides and resources.  You"ll walk away with a new spark for homeschooling and renewed trust in yourself as a teacher and the process of going deep, not wide.
