Shannon Lang, Homeschool Teacher
Shannon Lang has been with Mountain Song since it opened in 2013. Born in Ohio, Shannon received her BS in Elementary Education from Ashland University. She taught several grades in public mainstream education for 12 years before learning about, exploring, and eventually coming to Waldorf education. With help from Mountain Song, Shannon received her Waldorf teacher certification from Rudolf Steiner College in Fair Oaks, CA through participation in their Hybrid program. She also chose to tackle the extra hours of study offered by RSC in pursuit of earning her MA in Education with a concentration in Waldorf Education, compiling a capstone project titled "A Waldorf Teacher's Approach to Educating with Love: Incorporating the Five Love Languages into Pedagogy."
As a Grades Class Teacher, Shannon has helped carry a few different classes through their 1st-5th, 4th-5th, and 1st grade years. In the 2021-2022 school year, she became the Frontier Online Homeschool Enrichment Teacher where she has remained until present. In addition, Shannon took on teaching two Village In-Person Homeschool Enrichment Classes as well as the role of Homeschool Coordinator in 2024-2025. She says she loves being a Waldorf teacher because of the relationship-based approach to education. Shannon enjoys swimming, taking neighborhood walks, being by water if the chance arises, listening to live music, and most importantly, spending quality time together with her family and friends
