How do Waldorf teachers put their educational ideals into practice
in the classroom? How does a teacher connect geography and
art and language in a way that enlivens the souls of children?
What does a child's respect for the teacher mean for later life?
These are o­nly a few practical aspects of this initial course
for Waldorf teachers.

During an intensive two weeks, Rudolf Steiner gave three
simultaneous educational courses to those who would be
the first teachers of the original Waldorf school. o­ne course
provided the foundational ideas behind Waldorf education
(The Foundations of Human Experience); another provided
a forum for questions and lively discussions o­n specific
issues in the classroom (Discussions with Teachers).
In this course, Steiner takes the middle-path by
integrating theory and practice.

Here Steiner spoke of new ways to teach reading, writing,
geography, geometry, language, and much more. His
approach is tailored to the spiritual and physical needs of
the children themselves, not to an arbitrary curriculum
based solely o­n external results.

At a time when public education is in a state of crisis,
this book describes how children around the world are
being guided into adulthood with a fuller sense of
themselves and with a creative approach to life and
the world around them.
