Laura Keys Moreno, EdD, Waldorf Teacher, enjoys connecting Waldorf pedagogy and practice with mainstream research ensuring students have an ever growing and living academic experience. She supports teachers and parents in their task of teaching, creating mentoring and study groups. Her experience as a Waldorf teacher has centered ‘wonder in education’ as her primary research topic. Waldorf teaching strategies help their students and families create better lives for themselves - give real tools for making a good life. She hopes to continue helping teachers grow in their skills by giving workshops and talks about wonder. While she is home based in the United States, she routinely visits Mexico and Italy. She hopes that WaldorfMinds will help her and her family meet new friends and connect with other schools for future exchanges. Since Laura teaches online, she is interested in how Waldorf and technology can meet in healthy and mindful ways. She answered Pietro’s call to participate in building WaldorfMinds because she wants to be in the thick of what is coming next. As the grandma of the group, she brings lived experience to the conversations. The Waldorf school communities are very special places where life long friendships can be made. Teachers and students take an amazing journey together over many years and deep affection can grow. WaldorfMinds will expand that high ideal of community creating virtual space for relationships to form. Laura is currently serving on teams that serve the concept formation and incorporation. In her free time, you can find her in her garden or baking cookies or researching which is just code for being interested in the world.
