Book Review: Understanding Waldorf Education

Recently, the el Rio team put together a lending library at el Rio HQ for the board to use, reference and read.  At our last board meeting, Julia S. came up with the great idea that we should share some of our book/movie/media picks on the blog.

Each Monday, a board member will write a review and share some of the books, movies and other items that might be of interest.

Today, I’ll debut the el Rio book review with Jack Petrash’s Understanding Waldorf Education: Teaching from the Inside Out.

Petrash has been a teacher for over three decades.  He taught at the Washington Waldorf School for many of those years.  In Understanding Waldorf Education, Petrash shares what a Waldorf education looks like in the classroom with examples of stories that might be told or how conflicts might be resolved.  The book is a glimpse into the world of Waldorf education for the layperson rather than a synopsis of the works of Rudolf Steiner.

If you are interested in buying a book through the Amazon link provide on this site, a portion of your purchase will go to el Rio Charter School.  Thank you for your support.  We look forward to share great finds with you.
