Each Parent Carries the Flame
Waldorf Schools as sites for promoting lifelong learning, creating community and educating for social renewal
Tom Stehlik
Softbound
$27.95
|
 |

|
Here, at last, is a book that explores not just the pedagogy of Waldorf education (central though that is), but the broader life and possibilities inherent in Waldorf schools themselves. Tom Stehlik explores how these schools funciton not just as schools, but as centers for the possible social and spiritual renewal of the wider school community and ultimately society as a whole.
Stehlik suggests that parents who choose a commitment to Steiner Education embark upon a learning journey that is sustained and supported by the Waldorf school community. His observations resonate with my personal experience of the vibrancy that many Waldorf schools nurture and attract, and as such, he gives voice to what is, in my opinion, as wonderful about these schools as their pedagogy. |

Childhood
A Study of the Growing Child
Caroline von Heydebrand
$10.95 |
 |

Caroline von Heydebrand was one of the most beloved teachers at the original Waldorf School in Stuttgart, someone Rudolf Steiner looked to as a guiding light for the children. Childhood is the fruit of her twenty years experience teaching children and studying anthroposophy, and the book is filled with stories, examples, anecdotes - all couched in her deep love of nature and people. Some of the topics she addresses are: child development, the four temperaments, the growth of consciousness, and the development of moral, imaginative and other capacities. Highly recommended. |

Commonsense Schooling
A practical introduction to Rudolf Steiner's
educational thought and methodology
Roy Wilkinson
Softbound
$12.95 |
 |

|
Wilkinson's masterful skill at conveying complex
things with clarifying brevity really shines in this book
and makes it an outstanding introduction to Waldorf education.
When Commonsense Schooling was first published,
the London Times Education Supplement said of "this
structured and well-written account" that "it translates
Steiner's educational thought and methodology into practical
English terms." The response to Wilkinson's work has
more than justified this opinion. A great place to begin
learning about Waldorf education!

An Introduction to
Steiner Education
The Waldorf School
Francis Edmunds
Softbound
$17.95
|
 |

|
This is an excellent introduction to the theory
and practice of Steiner/Waldorf education, whether for teachers
or anyone who would like to know more about Steiner’s
ideas. It is especially useful for parents who are looking
for a holistic education for their children.
The author explains, in a clear and lively style,
many aspects of Steiner’s educational theories,
especially the three stages of child development
and how the Waldorf curriculum provides a healthy
understanding, nurturing, and support for these phases.
Edmunds discusses the role of the class teacher,
the “main lesson,” the four temperaments, attitudes toward
discipline, competition, and examinations. His answers are based on the
author’s many years of rich and varied experience as an educator
of both children and adults.

What Is Waldorf Education?
Three Lectures by Rudolf Steiner
Introduction by Stephen Keith Sagarin
Softbound
$12.00
|
 |

|
|
A great little introductory book - three of Steiner's most readable
lectures ("A Lecture to Prospective Parents," a public lecture
on Waldorf Education given in Arrau, and a lecture to English educators)
accompanied by an exhilarating introduction by Sagarin.
With this one volume you can learn what Steiner wanted his
pedagogical approach to accomplish and enter into what I
believe is a seminal discussion by Sagarin about what this
education is really all about (hint: the name of the school
isn't the answer).
I would give this book to anyone wanting to learn more about
as Waldorf Education. It is the best way I've
seen so far of introducing the living intent
and human goals of of this approach to education.
It is inspiring, liberating, and as alive as it
was on the day the
Waldorf School
of Stuttgart first opened its doors. Plus, it is
in clear, modern English!

The Recovery of
Man in Childhood
A. C. Harwood
Introduction by Douglas M. Sloan
Softbound
$14.95
|
 |

|
The Recovery of Man in Childhood is
perhaps the most comprehensive (and enjoyable!)
presentation of the goals, the methods, the
underlying worldview and, yes, the wonder
of Waldorf Education and Rudolf Steiner's
pedagogy. A.C. Harwood was not only a master
Waldorf teacher, he was also a gifted writer,
poet, and thinker. Additionally, his approach
to children, to teaching, to education and
the needs of the world is always informed
by a very warm heart. I think you'll have
a very, very good time reading this book
- and reap a lifetime of insight and reflection
in the bargain.

Education as
Preventative Medicine
A Salutogenic Approach
Michaela Glöckler, MD
Softbound
$26.95 |
 |

|
How and when something is taught
affects the student's disposition towards health or
illness for life. The whole Waldorf curriculum is built
on an understanding of the development and physiology
of the child. … The healthy development of the
physical body is the basis for a healthy unfolding
of the soul-spiritual individuality of the child. Therefore
it is of great importance that doctors and teachers
work together.
- Astrid Schmitt-Stegmann
Dr. Glöckler has brought together
for the first time in English research and insights
into the relationship between how we educate
children and the health they enjoy both as children
and later as adults. This is a book to read deeply,
to ponder over. The application of these insights
in our teaching and working with children has
the power to resonate far into the future, creating
a healthier world as it does.
In addition to Dr. Glöckler's
insights, Education as Preventative Medicine also
includes contributions by:
Johannes Bockemühl, Ernst
Bücher, Wolfgang Göbel, Wolfgang Kersten,
Daniela Greif, Mariana Kayser-Springorum, Armin
Husemann, Gisbrt Husemann, Helmut v. Kügelgen,
Karl-Reinhard Kummer, Hans Müller-Wiedemann,
and Maria Theresia Pehm.

Educating as
an Art
Essays on Waldorf Education
Edited by Carol Ann Bärtges and Nick Lyons
Softbound
$25.00
|
 |

|
|
Twenty-five years ago at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York
City, Ekkehard Piening, a long-time teacher, and Nick Lyons, a parent,
edited a collection of articles on Waldorf education. Their efforts
resulted in Educating as an Art, published in celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the Rudolf Steiner School.
Twenty-five years later in 2003, the Rudolf Steiner
School celebrated its seventy-fifth year as well as seventy-five
years of Waldorf education in North America. This new
edition commemorates the work of the faculty members
whose articles comprised the first edition, many of whom
helped to establish the Waldorf movement in the US. Contributions
have also been added from the newer generation of teachers
in the New York City School and Waldorf teachers from
around the country.
New articles reflect important developments in the last
twenty-five years of Waldorf education in North America,
both in curriculum and in approaches to classroom teaching.
This new edition is a celebration and continuation of
the directions and ideas in Waldorf education that began
more than seventy-five years ago—ideas based on
the idea that teaching is an aesthetic and moral enterprise.
This book is written by teachers whose deepest thoughts
and actions are concerned with the work in the classroom—those
who, in the words of Ekkehard Pienning, have brought
the world to their students “on the wings of full
engagement.”

Confessions of a
Waldorf Parent
Margaret Gorman
Softbound booklet
$4.95
|
 |

|
|
It's hard to know which is better about this little booklet -
the laughter it produces or the warm I've-been-there-too recalling
of the developmental stages of "Waldorf Parenthood."
You can follow the author (between your outbursts of laughter)
as she searches out a school for her children, discovers
Waldorf Education, goes through the almost inevitable (and
so funny) "pure stage" and then comes back to earth
with a fuller heart and a deep love of the education her
children receive.
This is actually one of the best introductions to Waldorf
Education I can think of - sort of the the pedagogy of becoming
part of a Waldorf school or initiative community. And did
I mention how funny it is?

Understanding Waldorf Education
Teaching from the Inside Out
Jack Petrash
Softbound
$19.95
|
 |

|
|
Both teachers and parents just can't find enough good things
to say about Jack Petrash's introduction to Waldorf Education.
What I like best about it is that it is concrete, not abstract,
and comes straight from the heart of a teacher with 30 years
of classroom experience. Here the inquiring parent, grandparent
or prospective teacher will find answers and explanations
to just about every question I've ever heard in the course
of 20+ years experience with the Waldorf school movement.
In many ways, you'll feel like your stepping into a Waldorf
classroom, but with a quiet guide at your side to help you
understand the wonder you are witnessing.
This is a book that is lively, enjoyable and ultimately very,
very informative. I always love it when something I like also
teaches me a lot - that's probably why I became involved with
Waldorf Education in the first place! Enjoy!!

The Esoteric Background
of Waldorf Education
The Cosmic Christ Impulse
Five lectures given at the Annual Waldorf Teacher's
Conference in Spring Valley, NY in 1993
René Querido
Softbound
$16.95
|
 |

|
|
My recollection of René Querido from the years when I worked at
Rudolf Steiner College is that the topic of this book was actually the
passion of his life. For whenever he was able to speak publicly or privately
about the Cosmic Christ, especially as the living foundation of Waldorf
Education, he lit up with an enthusiasm that both captivated and inspired
whoever listened.
I believe you will find in these printed lectures the same
energy and spirit many of us were fortunate to experience
first hand - and learn a great deal about both Waldorf Education
and esoteric Christianity as well.

Another great little book from the "Rudolf Steiner's ideas in practice" series!
This is an ideal introduction, a as-close-to-perfect-as-you're-going-to-get
first book on Waldorf Education - its schools, its pedagogy, its founder.
Dozens of photographs add a richness and life to the clear descriptions
of Steiner's ideas and how they have been put into practice. For anyone
who's ever asked, "What's Waldorf Education?" - this is the
book!

The Developing Child
Sense and Nonsense in Education
Willi Aeppli
$16.95
|
 |
|
|
In this simple gem of a book, Willi Aeppli takes us to the
very core of the task of education. His is not a picture of
senseless cramming and memorization, but of service to each
child and to humanity. All who seek an education make the
greatest sacrifice, that of the self, all their gifts, and
their future. They have the full right to expect that this
self will be returned as a stronger and truer self. Aeppli
describes a curriculum that can make this possible. This book
develops not from theory, but from years of practical experience.
Willi Aeppli (1894-1972) was a master Waldorf teacher in
the Rudolf Steiner School in BAsel, Switzerland. He is remembered
as an excellent teacher who used his observations and daily
experience to enrich his classroom teaching.

Marjorie Spock

This is my all time favorite description of the 8 elementary
school years in a Waldorf School. Marjorie Spock's year-by-year
account is so brimming with enthusiasm that it is difficult
to put the book down. Teaching as a Lively Art stands
at the top of list of books about Waldorf Education written
by authors other than Steiner. A four-star volume!

One of the best and most accessible resources on the subject of the four temperaments and children.
Anschütz gives us a guide to children's different temperaments and their role in child character,
health and personality development. She illustrates her ideas with examples from home and school, using
the context of the Waldorf/Steiner school classroom, and discusses how to use these insights in managing
and relating to groups and individuals. This is an fascinating journey that will be enlightening and invigorating
to both parents and teachers.

Adolescence: The
Search for the Self
and
Weaving the Social Fabric of the
Class
Two Lectures on Waldorf Education
Eugene Schwartz
Softbound
$15.50
|
 |

|
|
The first lecture develps a threefold picture of adolescence
and offers helpful suggestions for parents and teachers. I especially
appreciates Schwartz's depiction of the often agonizing emotional passage
that is the hallmark of adolescence - and how that passage can be unseen
by we adults.
The second lecture offers wonderful insights and advice
to teachers as to how to help the students in a class see
each other with kindness and how to foster a willingness
to work together. Schwartz focuses on how the temperments
can be brought into play toward this end.
These two lectures are gems!

School as a Journey
Torin Finser
$14.95
|
 |
|

Where Marjorie Spock gives us the curriculum as an ideal
picture, Torin Finser follows up with "and this is what
happened when I set out to do it." This book is a lively,
colorful, absorbing account of a class teacher's eight years
with his students-an autobiography in motion through an incredibly
rich education. School as a Journey is worth its weight
in gold just to be able to see how it all turns out!

School Renewal speaks to the problems and challenges
of developing healthy schools. Using mythology, personal experience,
and his extensive research, Torin, M. Finser describes how
teachers and parents can handle such common problems as burnout,
organizational stress, interpersonal conflict, and change.
Most importantly, he urges, an educational community must
address the many unseen dimensions of each human being. He
shows how these little-understood aspects of the mind can
be nourished to create an econoimcal, exciting, and lasting
renewal of school life.

The Power of Two
Memoirs of a Rudolf Steiner Teacher
Alan Whitehead
Softbound
$22.95 |
 |

|
|
Alan Whitehead has done it again - this time with an intimate,
upright autobiography that allows us to accompany him from
his youth through courtship, marriage and the birth of their
first child - right into the creation of a Waldorf School
(Rudolf Stiener School in Australia). All the joy, challenge,
anguish, and triumph - both of his personal life and of the
school - are recorded in an amiable, straightforward, humorous
prose that offers the rare combination of enjoyable reading
and illuminating perspective. This account is so deeply honest
and so warmly shared that I know you will find it as valuable
as I do. Highly recommended.

A Creative Life - Volume 2
The Rainbow Years
Memoirs of a Rudolf Steiner Teacher
Alan Whitehead
Softbound
$22.95 |
 |

|
|
In this second volume, we find our hero, Alan Whitehead, taking
up his third teaching year (and going on through 6 more),
helping to lead his school during roller-coaster rides of
prosperity/poverty, smooth sailing/rebellion and into a new,
expanded and fruitful life. We also watch as his children
grow and blossom, and as Susan flowers as a kindergarten teacher.
Everything I said about Volume 1 applies here - with an emphasis
on the intimately honest accounting of a school history personally
lived. Anyone who has been involved with Waldorf schools will
both recognize and admire the courage of Whitehead's accounts
of the growing pains which could so easily have become the
death knells of his school. This account is so valuable in
so many ways - I hope many, many people read it.

A Creative Life - Volume 3
Into the Wind
Memoirs of a Rudolf Steiner Teacher
Alan Whitehead
Softbound
$22.95 |
 |

|
|
In this third volume of A Creative Life, we join Alan
Whitehead during the years 1979 to 1984, as he helps create
a new teacher education institute, an Australian Waldorf schools
associaton, a high school. The book closes with his (and Susan's)
farewell to the school they had helped to create and nurture
for over 15 years.
Throughout, as you can by now expect, Alan details with his
characteristic honesty (and humor!) the background (and foreground)
political tensions and battles, the successes and failures
along the way, the goals met and lost. This is such a human
account - and a great read, as well!

Education in Search of the Spirit
Essays on American Education
John Fentress Gardner
Softbound
$14.95
Previously published as The Experience of Knowledge
|
 |

|
Real education will always seek to strengthen what is
best in the human soul: its longing for the experience of
spiritual truth that brings into the self and objective
appreciation of hte noble aspects of its own nature, together
with a subjective sense of real affinity with the rest of
humanity, the earth planet as a whole, and the great cosmos
above.
This excerpt really describes the author's perspective that
the aim of true education is to help children activate the
deepest center, their "eternal spirit" which, Gardener
believes, becomes possible through thinking - not mechanistic,
rationalistic thinking, but living, intuitive thinking whose
organ is the heart.
The book is in three parts - the first poses the problem;
the second describes the Waldorf appraoch to a solution; and
the third deals with questions of special interest to parents
and educators alike, such as authority, discipline, and freedom;
the nature of "genius"; the question of cultural
pluralism.
This is an exploration by someone capable of deep insight
and a union of that insight with what he saw. I highly recommend
it for anyone concerned with the deeper issues of education
and human development.

The Steiner educational impulse was born in the world (1919
Germany) when homeschooling was something
provided by parents
of necessity because they lacked the wealth to send
their children elsewhere. Even though
Steiner's approach was created for
school use, over the years it has proved
equally beneficial for the new generations of
homeschoolers: those who consciously
choose to guide their children's education.

Millennial Child
Transforming Education in the Twenty-first Century
Eugene Schwartz
$19.95
|
 |
|
|
In Millennial Child, Eugene Schwartz present's today's
children as an endangered species, deprived of the boundaries
that once separated childhood from adulthood. Without these
boundaries, modern children become not only (apparent) "little

Truth, Beauty and Goodness
Steiner-Waldorf Education as a Demand of Our Time An Esoteric
Study
Dr. Gilbert Childs
$18.95
|
 |
|
|
Thinking, feeling, and willing manifest in
civilization as truth, beauty, and goodness,
which then become science, art, and religion. Child's
aim in writing this book is twofold: to illustrate the practical
application of the above nine factors of life, and to substantiate
the assertion by Rudolf Steiner that his philosophy and practice
of education arose as a demand of the age in which we live.
This is a stimulating presentation for teachers, students
and anyone interested in esoteric science.
