Hello and welcome to Waldorf Ways, I created this page for those who may need a reading list to get them started.Hello and welcome to Waldorf Ways. I created this page for those who may need a reading list to get them started.
I have been writing about Waldorf education in various forms for several years now and this Substack has become my platform for sharing that writing. My written work is based on my years of experience and dedication to Waldorf education in our constantly changing world. I cover all aspects from inner work to practical classroom questions and the philosophy that stands behind all we do as Waldorf teachers.
There are now more than 200 posts in my archive, which is a lot to ask anyone to work their way through, so I have chosen ten here that I think give a good sense of Waldorf Ways and the different things I tend to write about.
Understanding Waldorf Education
Education Versus Information
The Curriculum and the Developing Human Being
The Inner Work of the Teacher
Teaching Is Not a Performance
What Are We Really Preparing For?
Children and Child Development
The Death of the Inner Picture
The Rush to Independent Thinking
Classroom Practice
Why Recall Matters More Than Coverage
A Beautiful Classroom Is Not a Decorated Classroom
Anthroposophy and the Foundations of Waldorf
It Looks Like Waldorf, But Something Is Missing
Children Need Authority
There are a lot more posts in the archive, of course, but I hope these ten posts are a good place for you to start.
I hope some of these catch your interest.
