You Wanted to Know What a Waldorf School is... And What It Is Not

By: HOWARD, ALAN

Price: $12.50

Publisher: Fair Oaks, CA, Rudolf Steiner College Press:

Seller ID: 11566

From the publishers: Through our work in operating the St. George Book Service over the past fourteen years, we have had the opportunity to come into contact with the burgeoning impulse of Waldorf education in the United States and Canada and other English-speaking countries. The questions and dilemmas that teachers and parents have brought to us through the years have revealed to us that, in spite of the many excellent books which are available on Waldorf education, there is still a gap in that there has been no what may be called “heart-to-heart” or shall we say “mind-to-m...

Observation Thinking The Senses

By: HUTCHINS EILEEN

Price: $14.50

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner College Press:

Seller ID: 10807

Most of those who have to do with education today come rather sadly to the conclusion that children are becoming more and more limited in their powers of observation. Within a certain field they are keenly awake, but they are blind and deaf to much that used to delight most of us when we were young. One can be put to shame by a child of six or seven when there is a question of the make of cars or of airplanes, but the average child of today has no interest for trees, flowers or birds, and passes by many aspects of nature with unseeing eyes. . . .

At the turning point of one hundred years since the founding of Waldorf Education, we want to take a deeper look at how we can contribute more and more through education to a better human future. The small child awakens in us a whole range of feelings: wonder when we contemplate how they unfold step by step in such a beautiful manner, tenderness when we see their innocence, hope when we try to imagine their future just as it begins to unfold, reverence for their courage to enter earthly life, and so much more. Living with children gives us the possibility of becoming better human beings and un...
