There is something going on at the Rudolf Steiner College in Sacramento.
I think you do have to travel for 2 weeks through the year . I believe it is a 3 year program. Check it out.

sunbridge college in ny offers a part-time teacher training program (3 weeks in summer, 1 in fall 1 in spring) but ot my knowledge does not offer a p/t foundation year. i just finished my foundation year... it was incredible, but i have to say i don't know how well it would work as a pt program, honestly. i did not think there could be any way i would possibly be able to go to school FT for grad work... i managed to pull off this year (and am hoping for next year) and now that i have done it, i can realize how integral the immersion full-time was... i heard there was a pt program in upstate NY but the cycle wont be starting again for a bit (hawthorne valley i think)... it;s truly an incredibl - INCREDIBLE - experience... and worth whatever you have to do. (I gave up a full time tenured teaching appointment and moved in with my mother AND commuted an hour each way. YIKES. but still worth it!)

Hi Linda!
Well unfortunately it would be impossible to do teacher training through corrospondance, everything is either too intense or too hands on for that to work.
However there are a number of parttime programs available from weekends and 3 weeks in the summer for 3 years to summer for 5 weeks for 5 years.
I am graduating from the weekend summer program this summer and it has been wonderful! Not as intense as the full time program, but nat as diluted as the summers only, I totally recomend it, and it allows you to keep your day job.

For more info visit www.steinercollege.org/ and it should have links to some of the other training schools.

Good Luck!
