| Book Description | all education is self-education and, as teachers, we can only provide the environment for children's self-education... Where children can educate themselves according to their own destinies.' -- Rudolf steiner this radical book seeks to shift the governance of steiner-waldorf schools from a structural to a dynamic approach. Jon mcalice argues that for teachers to help children 'practice the art of self-education', they must themselves model confident, honest self-governance. He shows how this ideal can come about by teachers, parents and students working together. He addresses issues of trust and colleagiality, authenticity, and self-development, and provides the tools and language that schools will need to make progress in this important area. |
| Editorial Review | Jon mcalice has written a book about the challenges of governance in waldorf schools in the context of the mission of waldorf education. His book is a meditation on this relationship, urging us to embrace the challenge, free from our preconceived notions of how waldorf schools 'should' be run: to look at what is needed now, in our current situations, in our individual schools. At the same time, he shines a light on the manifold opportunities for growth, change, and development that are possible when we embrace this challenge.' -- Kevin hughes, waldorf teacher (26 years, kimberton waldorf school, as class teacher, art teacher, and current member of the 'governing team') |
