Understanding Waldorf Education

Understanding Waldorf Education : Teaching from the Inside Out

A jargon-free view of Waldorf education and its philosophy of a three-dimensional education.

Since their inception over 80 years ago, Steiner-Waldorf schools have offered a much-needed model for educational reform. The author provides a compelling, clearly written picture of the key components of a Waldorf education, focusing especially on child learning experiences that develop thought, feeling, and intentional, purposeful activity.

Ideal for parents and teachers, this book gives a common sense understanding of an education which answers modern needs in over one thousand schools across the world.
