Rhythms of Learning by Roberto Trostli

Rhythms of Learning by Roberto Trostli

An experiment in its eighth decade, with more than sixty thousand students attending five hundred schools worldwide, Waldorf education is the largest and fastest growing independent, nonsectarian school movement in the world. The more than one hundred and fifty Waldorf schools in North America appear to be but the beginning of a rapid growth that will almost certainly be continued by the next generation. This volume is intended as a companion to educators and parents, both inside and outside the Waldorf school movement, who want to explore Steiner's intuitive and spiritual-scientific research concerning child development and, in particular, the positive and negative forces affecting that development in a culture that puts children at risk. -- Robert McDermott (from the foreword)

Waldorf education--an established and growing independent school movement--continues to be shaped and inspired by Rudolf Steiner's numerous writings and lectures on education and child development.

In Rhythms of Learning, key lectures on children and education have been thoughtfully chosen from the vast amount of material by Steiner and presented in a context that makes them reader-friendly and accessible. In his many discussions and lectures, Steiner shared his vision of education that considers the spirit, soul, and physiology in children as they grow.

Roberto Trostli, a seasoned Waldorf teacher, has selected the works that best illustrate the fundamentals of this unique approach. In each chapter, Trostli explains Steiner's concepts and describes how they work in the contemporary Waldorf classroom. We learn how the teacher-child relationship and the Waldorf school curriculum changes as the students progress from kindergarten through high school.

Rhythms of Learning is an excellent resource for parents who want to understand how their child is learning. Parents will also be more prepared to discuss their child's education with teachers, and teachers will find it to be a valuable reference source and communication tool.

Roberto Trostli, long time Waldorf school teacher and ardent student of anthroposophy and the Waldorf school plan, carries wisdom to readers through this careful selection of pieces on leadership. Roberto teaches at the Richmond Waldorf School and lives with his wife, Donna Marie in Richmond, Virginia.
