Why Waldorf Teaching Is the Greatest Profession
May 2, 2011
Being a teacher not only involves professional and technical knowledge, but imagination and fantasy, unbridled interest in the world, and especially the courage to explore new things together with the children. Only those who love the world can reach children. More »
If Your Kids Are Awake, They're Probably Online
April 27, 2011
In a world driven by new technology, America's youth are at the forefront of media culture - and media consumption. 'Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds' looks at how children are using media and what effect it may be having on their lives. The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a study from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cellphones. And because so many of them are multitasking — say, surfing the Internet while listening to music — they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that seven and a half hours. More »

In recent years, WOW-Day has brought about fantastic results. In 2010, almost 150 Waldorf schools from 14 countries participated together and raised more than 300,000 Euros. This large amount enables us to support disadvantaged children in more than 40 initiatives in more than 20 countries. You can help ensure that schools, kindergartens and social projects receive vital aid, enable children in Kenya to attend school, provide opportunities in the favelas in Brazil, and allow people with disabilities in Georgia to live a dignified life.

Report and Birthday Verses: Healing Forces in the Word and its Rhythms
April 18, 2011
The report verses, as they are known in Europe, or the birthday verses as they have come to be known in America, are individual verses that the teacher composes for the student each year. The child then speaks the verse, usually once a week in front of the class, for the coming school year. The verse speaks to a certain part of the child, whether a strength, a limitation or a challenge. Heinz Mueller developed the art of the report verse during his years of teaching in Hamburg. Using Rudolf Steiner’s indications, he pioneered the crafting of the verses which he shared in his book Healing Forces in the Word and its Rhythms. In the book he explores all aspects of the verse writing including the different meters for different temperaments and he gives many examples of the verses that he composed for his students. The examples often cover six to eight years of school life for a student. More »
Waldorf Education in Costa Rica
April 16, 2011
Imagine a typical kindergarten morning: the sun shines in through an open window onto a wooden floor where baskets of wooden blocks are being used to create a forest scene. The kindergarten assistant is chopping vegetables helped by four busily happy children. Someone is nursing a baby and having tea with her friend. Outside some small firemen are rushing to put out a fire roaring in the sandbox. The teacher is watering plants helped by eager gardeners. A typical, wonderful scene, something one could see peeping into any Waldorf kindergarten. More »
