Millennial Child (Anthroposophic
Press)
Are today's children really different?
This book presents an incisive analysis of how the errors of the first third
of the 20th century have returned to haunt us at the dawn of the 21st
century. Parents, teachers and child psychologists will find a wealth of
insight concerning such diverse subjects as the nature of play, the causes
of ADHD, computers as teachers, and the power that love and imagination will
have in the education of the Millennial Child. |

Waldorf Education: Schools for the
Twenty-First Century
(Xlibris.com)
The first book about Waldorf education to be
published on the Internet! This volume is a clear and contemporary
introduction to the philosophy and methodology that underlie the Waldorf
classroom. Parents and educators curious
about Waldorf schools, or first-time parents trying to explain their child's
education to friends will find this book of great value. |

Why the Setting Sun Turns Red and Other
Stories for Children (AWSNA Publications)
Seven stories for children aged 3 to 14, each
portraying a moral challenge typically faced by today's child. Based on the
"pedagogical stories" told by the author to his Waldorf school class, these
tales can be helpful to parents searching for more than moralizing,
confrontation or criticism. A lengthy introduction describes the
circumstances under which these stories were composed and offers inspiration
for parents and teachers who wish to create their own narratives. |

The Waldorf Teacher’s Survival Guide
(Rudolf Steiner College Press)
Originally written for teachers, this popular
book has found an audience among Waldorf parents, as well. Written as a
dialogue between Nelly Damon, an experienced Waldorf practitioner, and a
young teacher, this guide explores a wide range of subjects, ranging from
methods of classroom preparation to the inner life of the teacher. Nelly
Damon is blunt, challenging - and humorous. |

Adolescence, the Search for the Self
(Rudolf Steiner
College Press)
Required reading for parents and
teachers of children ten and over! Eugene discusses the often-forgotten
children on the verge of puberty and shares his experience and insight
gained as a teacher and parent. Also included is "Weaving the Social Fabric
of the Class," a classic essay on the relationship of self-development to
classroom management. |

What You Didn’t Learn in Teacher
Training
(Rudolf Steiner
College Press)
The return of Nelly Damon: the sage of the
Survival Guide returns with a series of aphorisms concerning, among other
topics, the role of joy in the life of the teacher, why Waldorf educators
sell Blue-Green Algae, and tips on conducting a successful parent evening.
Teacher training will never be the same! |

Seeing,
Hearing, Learning:
The Interplay of the Eye and Ear in Waldorf Education
(Rudolf Steiner
College Press)
In spite of Rudolf Steiner's emphasis on
sensory development in The Foundations of Human Development, very little
research has been done on the role played by the senses in Waldorf
education. This book examines the interplay of the eye, the ear, and the
semicircular canal, revealing their threefold harmony. Schwartz presents
convincing support for the slower approach to reading that is central to the
Waldorf primary grades. |

Plays for Children and Communities: Ten
Plays Based on the Waldorf Curriculum
(Rudolf Steiner College Press)
Class plays and several shorter pieces for grades 1 through 7. This volume
includes some of the most widely-performed plays in the Waldorf movement,
including Noah and the Flood (Grade 3),
Thor with Giants
(Grade 4), and A Roman Comedy (Grade 6).

Rhythms and Turning Points in the Life
of the Child
(Rudolf
Steiner College Press)
Many third and fourth grade classes have used
this book as study material toward understanding the profound changes
undergone by 9 and 10 year-olds. Schwartz draws upon his research in
physiology and psychology to explain how subjects such as the Old Testament
and handwork can support the growing child at the time of this critical life
transition. |
