Understanding Waldorf Education

Muy claro, sencillo e interesante. Muy recomendable si quieres darte una idea general de la pedagogía Waldorf y ejemplos de cómo vivirla.

I read this book before enrolling my daughter in Waldorf Preschool. It is an easy to follow summary of Waldorf philosophy with great examples of teaching techniques. Reading this book made me want to go back to school to train to be a Waldorf Teacher.

This is a good, no-nonsense introduction to Waldorf Education.It doesn't preach or philosophise, unlike the Christopher Clouder book, and is easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in education, mainstream or 'alternative.'

I read this book and then bought it for my brother as a gift. It explains the heart of this educational philosophy in accessible language. highly recommended.

I've been a Waldorf parent for 4 years and have been pleased with the education and life experience my kids are getting at school. But I haven't been able to describe to people who ask about the Waldorf school what makes it so different, so special. I've found most of Rudolf Steiner's (Waldorf education's original mastermind) work to be impenetrable; probably due to weak translations, but still. I've read a lot of dense stuff in my day, but Steiner's is unsloggable. This book by Jack Petrash, however, I loved. It's written so 21st century mortals can understand it and relate to it. Right from the first chapter, I understood it and felt it understood me. In the second chapter I thought, "Oh, now he's really captured it. He should have put this chapter first." I thought that again about the third, fourth, and fifth chapters and then decided he probably had the order okay in the first place.
