200: Science in the Waldorf School: Grades 4 – 8

This CD-ROM is a “virtual student exhibition” which embodies the full range of science teaching in the elementary school years.  Over 230 pages from main lesson books, accompanied by thousands of words of explanation and commentary by Eugene Schwartz, appear in vivid color on 170 PowerPoint “slides.” These slides may be viewed on an individual computer screen, or, like photographic slides, they may be projected on a screen to be viewed by an audience.  $17.50

201: Adolescence  

Along with Betty Staley's book Between Form and Freedom, Eugene Schwartz's Adolescence: The Search for the Self is regarded as one of the classic books on the teenage years by a Waldorf teacher. Because the book has been out of print for several years, Eugene presents its contents in this reading, which is accompanied by 5 pages of charts, diagrams, and student illustrations.  $17.50

202: From Playing to Thinking

Why do Waldorf kindergartens put such an emphasis on "creative play," rather than on the Three R's? Why are children surrounded by hardwood and soft dolls, rather than hardware and software? In this lecture, Eugene reveals the surprising and profound connection between the joyful play of the four year-old and the high-level cognitive activity of the adolescent. Drawing on the insights of neurologists and physicists, he presents an insightful look at the real work of the Waldorf kindergarten.  $17.50

The Waldorf Home Companion is a series of lectures developed by Eugene Schwartz to give parents the “big picture” of the Waldorf school experience from grades one through eight. Each lecture examines two grades thoroughly and clearly. Eugene looks at the child’s development at each grade level, describes the curriculum for that year, and, most importantly, discusses what a child should have learned at the school year’s end. As the series’ title implies, these lectures can be helpful companions to parents as they accompany their children on the exciting path of a Waldorf education.

203: The Media and Their Message

In this lecture, given to urban parents in New York City's Rudolf Steiner School, the "media challenge" is examined from historical, social and physiological perspectives. Recognizing the impossibility of simply avoiding TV, radio and computers, advice is given on ways to strengthen children and parents to meet and overcome the pervasive influence of today's media onslaught.  $17.50
