Education, Intro To Waldorf Education At Home
by Carol Currie
If you are in the midst of searching for the type of homeschooling that is right for you and your children you are most likely have run into various options such as Classical, Montessori, and another popular method called Waldorf.
Waldorf education has its roots in a gentleman named Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian scientist who had a philosophy about developmental stages that ended up created what we now know as the Waldorf method of homeschooling. His basis for his thinking revolved around his beliefs that man is made of three parts; his spirit, his soul, and his body. Throughout the developmental cycle, Waldorf identified three states; early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. It was only when Rudolf Steiner was asked to lead a school for the children of the workers in the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory that he solidified his philosophies into a teaching technique that used in public schools throughout America and has gained popularity in the homeschooling movement.
Waldorf education is simple in that day in and day out, the child learns with his head, heart, and hands. All exercises involved in the Waldorf education have these three elements worked into them in the hope to cultivate a love of learning in the student.
This method of homeschooling in unique in the fact that is attempts to bring life to education and every subject your child will encounter! Remember that it is always best to research more into the type of home schooling that you are thinking of adopting for you and your children. Also, if during your research you find that you may not want to follow through with the Waldorf method, don’t worry, there are plenty more methods and I’m sure one or a combination of a few will be sure to work. Remember, this is a bid decision, its okay to do some research.
