Instructor
Diane Walters MA, has 36+ years of experience in Waldorf, outdoor educational programs and alternative Educational platforms. Her work is deeply informed by her life-long interest in education through the lens of Steiner’s educational philosophy, contemporary educators, and futurists who believe in the essential nature of a human centered approach to education. She offers parent and faculty talks, webinars, and online participatory sessions to develop a greater understanding of what makes us human, how we learn, and how we teach, whatever the subject, the system, and the environment. This is the first of several online courses under Trade Secrets.
Rave Reviews
I started my career as a teacher and am finishing it by working with traumatized and socially alienated children. The Impact of Teaching through Story resonated with me because it lights the way to reaching out to all children through story to create a learning community of inclusion and belonging. I would highly recommend this course to ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH CHILDREN. The course videos and exercises are inspiring; trade secrets are illustrated with wonderful anecdotes and the work is meticulously referenced. Diane Walters truly enlivened my learning through story and the depth of her experience which she shares so generously.

I am an educator with Skaronhyase’kó:wa, a Mohawk Immersion Waldorf Inspired school. I have known Diane Walters as a mentor, colleague, and friend for 4 years. She has mentored me in deepening the content of our teaching practices.
Diane has done wonderful work with the teachers at Skaronhyase’kó:wa. Helping us place our stories into lessons and how to bring magic into our classrooms. Coming from a culture cultivated by oral tradition. I want our stories heard and shared by as many people as possible
