An Introduction to Steiner Education
Rudolf Steiner's educational system--long established and respected on the European continent--is gradually spreading around the world. Its radical principles, based on a view of the human being as composed of body, soul, and spirit, allows for a truly holistic and balanced education that nourishes the whole child. 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. 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.
Renewing Education
Having taught for nearly 30 years in Britain's first Rudolf Steiner school, Francis Edmunds founded Emerson College, an adult education and teacher training center where he was active until his death in 1989. This book contains a collection of Edmunds' writings on Steiner education mostly excerpted from "Child and Man,""The Michael Hall Journal," and "Tomorrow's Agriculture." Whether the subject is educational principles or classroom activity, child development, the teacher's role, or individual subjects, Edmunds worked from the premise that "Education should be the greatest art of all." Essays include "The Call,""Questions from Mexico on Rudolf Steiner Education,""Eight Years with the Same Class Teacher,""Religion, Art, and Science,""Feeling in the Growing Child,""The Death of Baldur and the Festival of Resurrection,""Animal Teaching in the Fourth Class,""The First Approach to Physics,""The Teaching of Religion at a Rudolf Steiner School,""The School Leaving Age," and "Teacher, Doctor and Farmer." Also included is a preface by John Thomson. (MLH)
An Introduction to Anthroposophy
Athough many of the practical activities that arise from Rudolf Steiner's work are well publicized, the philosophy that stands behind them remains largely hidden. Thousands of parents send their children to Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf) schools around the world, while biodynamic farming (the Demeter label) and anthroposophical medicine are gaining increasing recognition. Yet despite all this and much other visible work, few are aware of the richness of Rudolf Steiner's world view, anthroposophy. Steiner's original contribution to human knowledge was based on his ability to conduct 'spiritual research', the investigation of metaphysical dimensions of existence. With his scientific and philosophica...
The Story of Emerson College
In this first biography of Emerson, he gives a vivid picture of how the college came to be such a special place. But this is not a dry history of an organisation: it is brought to life with vibrant descriptions of many people, including the colleges founders Francis and Elizabeth Edmunds and John Davy, but also students, teachers, cooks, gardeners, accountants, administrators, and many others. Spence studies the anthroposophic spiritual basis that formed the bedrock of the college.
