The Uniqueness of Waldorf Education

Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education was convinced that social problems can only be solved with the help of a pedagogy that educates the whole human being. An education that strives towards the truly human: respect of the other person's autonomy,loving interest in them, and honesty in our approach to them.
This book has three parts: Part I aims to help teachers and parents broaden and deepen their understanding of the growing child. Part II focuses on classroom activities unique to Waldorf education. Part III focuses on some self-transformative work necessary for Waldorf teachers and for every adult individual.
