I have been a Waldorf school parent since 1999 and an educator for 12 years prior to having children.  For the last several years I have been teaching 3rd and 4th grade reading classes and coordinating the early grades reading curriculum at the school where my daughters attended from Parent-Child through 12th Grade.  In 2015 I completed the three-year Association for Healing Education (AHE) teacher training certificate in Extra Lesson.  I tutor and coach Waldorf students in reading, handwriting, executive function skills, and provide remedial support, using a varied, multi-sensory approach.  In the course of this work, I found that there were no executive function tools that met the needs of Waldorf students.  I created student agendas and coordinated binder systems to support the development of executive functioning skills and time management in harmony with this unique and rich curriculum. Later I created Teacher books to more holistically support and integrate the work of teachers and their students.

What makes these agendas different from all others out there?

All of our books are specifically designed to reflect the students’ journey through the Waldorf curriculum: age-appropriate subject headings such as main lesson, multiple foreign languages, beautiful student art work, inspiring quotes and clear, colorful spaces to record and track homework assignments and extracurricular activities.  The colorful spaces also provide optimal organizational capability.  The color-coding matches commercially available subject dividers, individual folders, and subject notebooks.

Green Meadow Waldorf School saw these Student Agenda/Binder Systems in use in 2008-2009 with my private tutoring clients and recognized that they addressed a challenge the school had faced for many years.  GMWS began using them in 2009-2010 in grades 4 through 10, with positive feedback from students, teachers and parents, and has continued using them ever since, expanding to include all students in grades 4 through 12.  Several other Waldorf schools and even more individual students across the country began using the agendas in 2010-2011.

I offer these Z-Path Student Agendas to Waldorf schools throughout North America for use with whole classes, and to individual parents and students, to support the natural development of executive function skills (organization, planning & goal setting, time management, self-regulation, and accountability).  These lifetime skills help students in school and beyond.

In 2011-2012, Z-Path expanded the product line to better meet the needs of Waldorf school teachers by offering Waldorf Teacher Agenda, Planner, and Record books.  Our books keep teachers organized and are infused with beauty, quotes, and flexible ways to capture information, such as plans and observations.  Z-Path also introduced dry erase whiteboards for classroom use, coordinated with the Lower School, Middle School, and High School agenda designs.

in 2015-2016 Z-Path began designing collegiate student agendas for Waldorf School alumnae.

We are proud that all of our products are made in the United States and that we have not increased any prices in over fifteen years! How many businesses can say that?
