Chinese Thought
April 10, 2016
Pioneering Waldorf teacher and poet Ningyuan Yu recently taught an elective block in Chinese History and Philosophy – a vast topic for just one block! Students experienced aspects of Chinese culture through movement, song, art, poetry, mapping and puzzles. The difference between Chinese thinking and American thinking, says Ning, can be felt in simple yet profound elements of daily life, such as the way parts of speech are ordered in a sentence or the use of numbers in decision-making.

But often these treatments don’t work very well, and the downward spiral continues. More »

A Charter School’s Perspective
March 10, 2016
Is it possible for a public Waldorf charter school to reflect the same depth, joy, magic and artistic as well as academic excellence as a private Waldorf School? Can a public charter develop a classroom culture that is equal in its manifold layers to what we find in the private sector? Can public charter teachers take on the mantle of the Waldorf teacher with its demanding, yet rich inner life and equally demanding active outer life? Although many think that the jury is still out, those of us who work in these public charter schools would reply with a resounding Yes! Let’s take the case of Juniper Ridge Community School. Juniper Ridge is a K-8 charter school in its third year of operation. We are located in Grand Junction, a small town on the sparsely populated Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains. More »
