- Books - English And Language Arts Curriculum For Waldorf Education Finding the Path Themes and Methods for the Teaching of Mathematics in a waldorf waldorf high school English teacher John Wulsin examines some common http://www.waldorfbooks.com/edu/curriculum/english_language_arts.htm
Extractions: This is an incredibly fascinating, lively, original, and in many ways, the most memorable English grammar I've ever seen. It is also perhaps the best example of the sheer usefulness of employing Rudolf Steiner's method of understanding things by approaching them as threefold, fourfold, sevenfold, etc. entities. When Schmid applies this to conventional English grammar, the structure of the language springs to life and, because it is placed into relationship with other aspects of human experience, it becomes much easier to grasp and remember and use correctly. Anyone teaching grammar to any class, whether in a school or at home, will find that using this approach opens vistas of understanding - for teacher as well as students. Very highly recommended!

Starting with first grade, I continued teaching the same group of children until they graduated from eighth grade. That year a teacher left so I picked up her class in third grade and remained with them until their graduation, six years later. Then in 1998 I took a first grade once again. This was my third class. By the end of that year I had been teaching at the Waldorf School of Mendocino County for fifteen years. The following year I made a difficult decision to accept a position at the newly formed River Oak Charter School, a Waldorf methods school, which opened in the fall of 1999 in Ukiah. River Oak is a public school using Waldorf methods. It was exciting to consider using Waldorf methods that had worked so well in the past in a public school setting. There was some concern that the Waldorf philosophy would be compromised by public school expectations and standards. My teaching style and curriculum content have not been greatly altered in the charter school, although there are necessarily accommodations to meet state requirements and standards.
Teaching About Computers.... Discusses approaches to teaching about computers under the waldorf methodology. http://www.gottfried.no/articles/curr_eng.htm
Extractions: Teaching about Computers in the Waldorf Schools? By Gottfried Straube and Erik Danielsson In a previous essay titled "The Computer - A Technological Manifestation Of The Spiritual Threshold" In order for the young adolescent to become aware of such perspectives, without the use of anthroposophical concepts, we need to let him/her get to know the computer as a phenomenon - it must be made the object of study from which such a perspective can arise. The authors of this paper therefore do not view the issue of IF computers should be studied at a Waldorf School as relevant, but we here wish to reflect upon HOW this can be done in a proper way. But is this also true for school children? In a learning situation? Using Norway as an example (but almost certainly true for any country), the former minister of education certainly held this view: "The greatest advantage of using computers in schools is that it can be used as a tool for arriving at solutions, wherever appropriate. This can be anything from seeking information, loading and exchanging data between educational institutions, to finding solutions to problems in any type of subject area." Conveying information There is nothing wrong with the fact that information is retrieved by the use of computers or distributed via hi-tech media - but is this media, this path of transportation, so significant that schools and families at any cost must leap at this magic technology and use it - the sooner the better?

Extractions: « Program talent scout Main Competing for home-schoolers » At a Waldorf charter school in Orange County, students concentrate on art and music in the early grades; they don't study reading or math till third grade. First-grade foreign language instruction, dance, original literary works, needlepoint and musical instruments were in; computers, videos, textbooks and timed tests were out. Journey deliberately avoided the drill-and-test model most public schools emphasize - delighting parents who sought a curriculum based on stages of child development, not chapters of a workbook. By last spring, enrollment had grown to 200. Nestled in a cluster of temporary classrooms in back of the Wood Canyon Elementary School, Journey is almost invisible to outsiders, except for a hand-painted sign tacked up on a corner of the campus's chain-link fence. Intimate and eccentric, the school long has felt more like a private academy than a public elementary school. But now the five-year charter is up for renewal. Journey's scores on state-mandated tests, while not terrible, have lagged behind neighboring schools. Journey's written charter predicted this; below-average scores in the early grades followed by higher scores after third grade are typical in Waldorf schools.
