Sixth Grade and the Sixth Grader

For this episode I was so fortunate to get to speak with incredible guest, Anne Clair Goodman all about sixth grade and the sixth grader. The experience for the sixth grader is so different than any age or grade we've talked about this season. The twelve year change, which we discuss in this episode, is a challenging developmental shift that may be just beginning in the sixth grade but generally continues into the teenage years. In addition to speaking about the blocks in the sixth grade curriculum we also speak about media and screen time as that can also be an interesting component parents, carers, and teachers may be navigating at this time.This will also be the last episode before I step back from the podcast for a few months on maternity leave. Additional resources and show notes for this episode can be found at: Waldorfy.com/sixthgradeTheme music for this episode was composed and performed by Book Kennison.
