When doing such research night consciousness. It is a path of we can refer to what Rudolf Steiner 'double consciousness': to be asleep tells us again and again: "if you while you create your work and in want to know yourself, look into the the same time to wake up in your world; if you want to know the consciousness. Can I see and world, look into youself." With this understand what my hand is doing in mind, we can ask: Where do I see while it is working? Can I be aware will in the world?

Rik ten Cate Because we know the cost of Interview of Marianne Schubert As part of the conference for members of the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum this past November, Marianne Schubert introduced herself by sharing her life-journey as it has unfolded up to her assuming the leadership of the Art Section in March 2014. Marianne studied architecture in Darmstadt, landscape-planning in Kassel and landscape-ecology for one year in Vienna. A brief overview of her professional training makes it clear that she has a deep interest in the weaving together of people, architecture, and their place in the landscape, and that she experiences architecture as a form of social art. Marianne brings to the tasks of the Art Section both expereince and a natural disposition to build in service of others. Rather than a personal agenda to implement, she V i s u a l A r t S e c t i o n G O E T H E A N U M aspires to build an organizational order to share their views on structure in which the different art subjects like artistic perception and impulses arising from anthropo- finding a common language for sophy can flourish. discussing the creative process.

  • Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education
    Chapter 1 Waldorf Teacher Education: Methodology of the Study Section 1 Introduction 1. Background information The primary focus of most of the literature on Steiner or Waldorf Education ~ whether couched in ways variously intending to theorise, compare, inform, expound, or extol ~ has been on the question of how children (whether of early childhood, primary or high school years) should be educated. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the question of how Waldorf teachers should be educated. In order to begin to tackle this seemingly straightforward question it seemed logical to begin at the beginning, that is, with the theory underlying what Waldorf teachers were being educated for. Steiner’s educational theory is explicit in maintaining that education is about facilitating the process of becoming more human. But aren’t we human enough already? What does it mean to become more human? How are human beings (for so long referred to as ‘Man’) constituted? What is ‘Man’? In some ways the trend of the questioning is reminiscent of, and inevitably leads to, the Classical Greek injunction “O Man. Know Thyself”1. It was in contemplating these questions that the realisation came of what the underlying core of the thesis would be. Something had to be said about what Steiner believed the human being to be, and therefore how the education of the human being should proceed. More specifically still, how the teachers who were to implement the 1 This injunction was engraved above the portal of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. 2 educational ideas would themselves be educated.

To discuss the same issues that others discuss..., but to come from a different picture of the human being in the world.” – Christopher Houghton Budd “In my composition class I learned... that finding your purpose in life takes a lot of soul searching. My biggest take-away from this class is that even though talking about what you want to do in life is simple, you must put in work to turn your goals into accomplishments.... I think that my ‘true’ self is now more confident, patient and happy: more confident because I'm not afraid to chase after my dreams no matter what the circumstances hold for me; more patient because I can take time to make my dreams come true and become accomplishments; and more happy because I was taught in this class to use critical thinking about my purpose in life, and even though it was hard, I did learn how to start my own destiny path toward my ‘bit’.” – A student. In the fall of 2016, I worked with twenty-three high school students who signed up for my College English Composition class not only to see what they could learn about writing, but also to explore what it is like to be in college.

    titel 08.09.2002 12:13 Uhr Seite 2 Rundbrief der Sektion für redende und musizierende Künste Ostern 1999 1 Liebe Leser! Zu Ostern 1999, zur ersten weltweiten Sektionstagung mit Eurythmisten, Sprachgestal- tern und Musikern, erscheint der 30. Rundbrief. Viele Stimmen gab es, die erfreut reagiert haben auf die neue Form des Rundbriefes, aber es gab natürlich auch kritische Äusserungen zu den Neuerungen. Das Bühnenforum liess sich nicht ganz in der Form fortsetzen, wie es wünschenswert wäre: mit vielen aktuellen Beiträgen und Interviews, die Begegnung und Austausch fördern. Dazu braucht es die Hilfe vor Ort – haben Sie wieder Lust, ein Gespräch aufzuzeichnen mit den Initiativträgern einer Aufführung, eines Projektes? Es sind sehr wesentliche und verschiedenartige Beiträge enthalten, die sich mit zeitge- mässen Fragen der verschiedenen Sektionsbereiche auseinandersetzen. Die Absicht, zu Marie Steiners 50. Todestag mehrere Beiträge zu veröffentlichen, die die Grundlage und Leistungen Marie Steiners für die Sektion würdigen, erwies sich als nicht möglich. Viel ist geschrieben worden in den Zeitschriften, Aufsätze, in denen Marie Steiners Einsatz auf allen Gebieten gewürdigt wurde: es wäre nur Wiederholung gewesen. Das Buch: «Marie Steiner – Lebensspuren einer Individualität» von Wilfried Hammacher bringt ein umfassendes Bild dieser besonderen Persönlichkeit an der Seite Rudolf Steiners. Die Sektionstagung verspricht vieles von dem, was in der Sektion unbemerkt lebendig ist, sichtbar werden zu lassen. Die Begegnung der Künste, Gemeinsamkeiten

  • Rudolf Steiner) Schools As Schools in the Progressive Education Tradition
    WALDORF (RUDOLF STEINER) SCHOOLS AS SCHOOLS IN THE PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION TRADITION Alduino Bartolo Mazzone M.Ed.St., B.Ed., Grad. Dip. (Ed. Admin.) Dip. T. (Sec) Abstract The Waldorf school movement is the largest non-denominational, non- sectarian, independent school movement in the world. Since its beginning in Germany in 1919, over six hundred schools have been founded in forty countries including Australia. This paper will outline the foundation and development of the Waldorf schools, addressing such questions as the educational context of the Waldorf schools; their relationship to the early progressive education movement in Europe; the background to Rudolf Steiner and the key characteristics of Waldorf education; the founding of the first Waldorf school in Germany and the spread of the Waldorf school movement across the world. The paper will then focus on how and why groups of Australians, especially within the Anthroposophical Society, came together and founded Rudolf Steiner or Waldorf schools, and of the role that teachers and parents played in their development. The paper considers the effect of the rapid expansion of Waldorf schools in the 1980s noting the factors that assisted their growth and limited their development, and concludes with a review of the movement's current situation. The Early Progressive Education Movement in Europe The origin of Waldorf Education is to be found in the general educational awakening that took place towards the end of the 19th and in the first third of the 20th century. The most appropriate context in which to locate the Waldorf schools seems to be that of the progressive education movement, and therefore a short outline of the important developments in that movement will be given.
