How Teacher Looping Eases Learning Disruption
New studies show that a teacher educating the same group of students in multiple subjects over multiple years (looping) has lasting benefits.
Students who stay with the same teacher see both academic improvement as well as reductions in absences and behavioral issues. Teaching a child for multiple years allows teachers to better understand each student’s learning style, to work with families to help support students, and to challenge them to do their work.
That’s why at Cedarwood, many of our teachers stay with their class for multiple years, building a safe and supportive learning environment and strong relationships. This multi-year student-teacher relationship helps each student to steadily unfold their unique potential.
We are also proud to have a strong and dynamic team of experienced subject teachers, many of whom work consistently with students throughout the entire 8-year journey at Cedarwood, in subjects including Spanish & Japanese, Cyber Civics, music, movement, practical arts, and eurythmy.

Why Waldorf? At Cedarwood, each student’s imagination is continually nurtured by a team of teachers and a broad spectrum of experiential learning opportunities as they develop their capacity for growth, creativity, and critical thinking. The curriculum is comprehensive and designed to educate the whole child, with lessons in math, science, language arts, history, geography, music, eurythmy, handwork, movement, and not one but two world languages, Spanish and Japanese. Art is not taught separately in our elementary program, but rather imbues students’ understanding of every single subject they encounter.
