However, in our area she wouldn't be starting kindergarten next year because she won't be five until January and that misses the cutoff. So it wouldn't be until September 2005. In any case, we plan to keep her in the school she is in. She loves it and she has already surpassed the public school kindergarten curriculum. The montesorri school goes up to second grade but we will probably move her to public school starting in first grade. Soleil dd 1-16-2000 ds 2-25-2002 Add a post Quote this post Author:

Article Index NCAHF Home Page Anthroposophical Medicine William T. Jarvis, Ph.D. The international Anthroposophical Society was created by Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925,) who had led the German section of Theosophy but had split off to form a group that would follow his personal revelations of the "spirit world." Anthroposophy was derived from anthropos "man" and sophia "wisdom," in reference to the wisdom that comes to humans when they are able to perceive the spiritual as well as the material world. In Steiner's doctrine, Christ is a sun god come to earth, not to redeem humanity from sin, but to help the human race balance between the influences of Zoroastrian gods of light and darkness, Lucifer and Ahriman. Steiner's revelations typically blurred religious, scientific, and historical topics. His version of history includes epochs on the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, which he claimed to have read with "clairvoyant vision" out of the mythical "akashic record."

85. WALDORF SCHOOLS In the early and elementary grades waldorf teachers attempt to teach intellectualconceptual academic content by transforming waldorf teaching methods. http://www.transintelligence.org/articles/Waldorf Schools.htm

trans intelligence magazine # 8 , 2000 WALDORF SCHOOLS the largest non-denominational private school system in the world by Earl J. Ogletree Emeritus Professor of Education, Chicago State University Men who have new ideas that are not in tune with the thinking of their day rarely are recognized during their lifetime. Too often their ideas and contributions, though known in a small circle of followers, do not surface in the public domain for decades. Rudolf Steiner is one of these men. He and those who pursue his research have established the largest nondenominational private school system in the world, known as Waldorf Schools or Steiner Schools . The system consists of 700 schools in 44 countries and more than 1000 kindergartens worldwide. One hundred twenty of these schools are in the U.S. In addition, Steiner and his students founded 550 residential and day schools for special children. These schools are also scattered throughout many countries. Although Steiner is best known for the Waldorf school system he initiated, both he and his schools are almost unknown in educational circles. Few educators in public and private schools or even in universities have heard of him. Neither he nor his schools are mentioned in the educational literature, journals or books. Neill's Summerhill in England, attended at best by forty to fifty students annually, was internationally known. It is discussed in most textbooks on education, and in educational courses taught at teacher colleges and universities. Montessori schools are much discussed and publicized here and abroad. Why isn't Steiner's educational system better known?

87. "Woman Plus..." 2000, N3. Waldorf Schools: A New Word In Education Many years ago, she happened to read an article on Steiner s educational methods. AtWaldorf schools, the same teacher will teach all disciplines from http://www.owl.ru/eng/womplus/2000/valdor.htm

WALDORF SCHOOLS: A NEW WORD IN EDUCATION by Anna VASILYEVA Today parents enjoy multiple opportunities to choose a school for their child. For a decade now, along with the public school system, a network of private schools has been developing. Alongside, some families give preference to home education of their children. Recently, another option has appeared. About ten years ago, first schools based on educational principles formulated by Rudolf Steiner began to appear in Moscow and other major Russian cities. They are known as Waldorf Schools. While we apprehend them as news, in Europe educational facilities of that type are known for decades and widely spread. The first such school was founded in Stuttgart back in 1919. Rudolf Steiner, its founder, was a well-known German philosopher and public activist. He introduced the concept of anthroposophy, a philosophy that used to be very popular in the beginning of the 20th century. Anthroposophy advanced the principle of human spiritual nature study as the basis of cognition in any other field of knowledge. Steiner, however, would not stay within the boundaries of philosophical theories. Instead, he undertook the attempt to make anthroposophy the basis for practical applications in a variety of societal institutions, and, first of all, education. Today we find Waldorf schools in practically every nation (Islamic countries are the only notable exception). Their total number has reached 500. However, the widest spread of Steiner's pedagogies falls on the West Europe, the loci of its inventor's origin. In Germany alone, circa 150 Waldorf schools operate today. The new educational approach has already reached to Australia, South and Central America, Japan, South Africa... In Russia, Waldorf schools exist in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ryazan, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan, Samara, Yaroslavl, Irkutsk, Obninsk and Vladimir. I happened to get acquainted with Waldorf education at one of Moscow schools of this type.

In these exercises the students discover how to use many traditional and non-traditional drawing tools (charcoal, india ink, litho crayon, pencil, and china marker) and drawing surfaces (paper, wood, cardboard, newsprint, and tissue paper). We begin each class with a series of warm up sketches ranging from one to five minutes, eventually leading to a thirty-minute drawing. The exercises we do are aimed at helping each student become familiar with the tools and surfaces and at the same time helping the student discover his or her unique drawing style. This enables each student to feel his or her potential in the visual world.

Independent Home Study Some public school districts have created their own homeschools. In the past, students who attend IHS would be home-bound students with long-term illnesses or those who are unable to attend regular school for diciplinary reasons. More recently, public schools have started offering homeschooling options. Most IHS supply all the books, teacher's manuels, and other supplies free of charge. They give you the support of a teacher, whom you meet either weekly or monthly. Many offer field trips, special classes, clubs, and recreation with other homeschoolers. IHS would be a good choice for a family that has opposition from relatives, or is unsure of how well they would do on their own. However, make sure the books you receive from the program are currently used by the school district. Some his prgrams are not well supplied. Never go with a IHS program where the teachers try to pressure you into re-entering public school.

95. Energy Healing example of the kind of activities you might use to teach energy awareness. The Waldorfmethod of form drawing can do wonders in helping focus the students http://www.longleaf.net/ggrow/Healing/Energy.html

"Healing and Teaching: Three Forms of AlternativeHealing and their Implications for Teaching" by Gerald Grow Available: http://www.longleaf.net/ggrow Energy Healing This approach to healing is based on the view that a special energy moves through all thingsa life energy that is the creative impetus for the universe, for all matter, and for the moment to moment feelings of each human being. This energy moves in pulsating rhythms that make up the seasons, the stages of the life cycle, the developmental phases of growth, the tidal rhythms of breath, the drumbeat of the heart, and the vibratory dance of the smallest particles inside each cell. Seen in terms of energy, the body consists of energy centers (chakras), energy pathways (meridians), and energy fields (auras). According to this school of thought, when energy circulates freely, people are healthy, happy, in touch with themselves, in direct energy-level communication with one another, and in tune with the universe. This energy has been called many names"magnetism" in the early 19th century by Mesmer. The Yogic name for it is "prana." In Taoism and acupuncture, it is known by the Chinese term "chi" or "qi" (Japanese "ki"). Wilhelm Reich called it "orgone." Each theory of healing has an explanation for the nature of human difficulty and disease. In this theory, for a multitude of reasons, life-energy readily becomes blocked in human beings. The channels through which it flows can be stopped up, weakening the energy in one part of the body, building it to excessive levels in another.

Naming The Grace Naming The Grace home Articles Additional Articles About Naming The Grace ... Contact The Religious Basis of Waldorf Education by Viola Larson The Waldorf School method founded by Rudolf Stiener was, several years ago, (1996), accepted as an alternative method for teaching in the public school system. In Sacramento, California, The Oak Ridge Elementary School used the Waldorf system. Administrators and teachers had hoped Waldorf Education would meet the needs of their culturally diverse school. Indeed, the Waldorf emphasis on folk tales, nature, music and art appeals to the romantic and cultural part of our humanity. However, while it is important that parents and educators search for and use superior teaching methods for public schools, there is a fundamental problem connected to the use of the Waldorf method. The most basic issue is Waldorf's foundation in the Occult. Occultic systems generally include supposed knowledge about the universe that is obtained by spiritual and/or esoteric means. Occultism further implies the use of esoteric methods to gain power or control over physical and/or spiritual forces. It is rather like spiritual technology. A foundation in the Occult means that the Waldorf Schools are essentially religious. Rudolf Steiner, born in 1861, was a brilliant thinker, who founded the Anthroposophical Society as well as the Waldorf Schools. Before founding the Anthroposophical Society, Steiner was involved with Helena Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society. Both of these societies share a foundation in occult speculation, including such ideas as humans possessing etheric and astral bodies as well as physical bodies. Both societies teach that humans are evolving through successive lives or incarnations into beings that are capable of communicating with super natural entities or powers. Steiner, unlike Blavatsky, brought to his society a unique concept about Jesus Christ. He writes of the Christ impulse that allows humans to evolve into a higher "personality" that is able to "ascend . . . into the divine-spiritual world."

Today, Education World explores the Reggio Emilia approach, in which teachers spend a great deal of time listening to children and documenting their thoughts.
