Education for Adolescents (Foundations of Waldorf Education Series) »

In this important collection of lectures, originally delivered in 1921 to teachers at the first Waldorf school in Stuttgart, Germany, Rudolf Steiner discussed his ideas about the developmental stages of the child and more particularly, approaches for teaching adolescents. Throughout these lectures Steiner stresses the unity of human life and the task of Waldorf education: to help mature, responsible beings into the world to work for the common good. This is the sacred task of the teacher and is as important in the teaching of teenagers as it is in the lower grades. An essential addition to the literature of adolescent education.
