Developmental Signatures

Developmental Signatures: Core Values and Practices in Waldorf Education for Children Age 3-9

Commissioned by the the German Association of Waldorf Schools (Bund), a team of teachers, doctors, parents, and scholars describe the developmental stages of Waldorf education as related to State educational requirements in Germany. These first two parts of a three-part study are concerned with children from three to nine years old and the conditions required for successful schooling. The results of this working group’s study in Germany are a great resource for reflection for deepening and renewing Waldorf and non-Waldorf educational practice both within the European community and throughout the world.
