Description

Education Towards Freedom was first published in 1976, and since then has sold over ten thousand copies in English. When it appeared, there were around 100 Steiner-Waldorf schools throughout the world; now there are almost 1000 schools worldwide, as well as many separate playgroups and kindergartens. During this time, Steiner-Waldorf education has become increasingly known in the mainstream, and increasingly valued for its alternative approaches to children's learning and development. The show more great breadth and richness of the approach is what has attracted so many parents to its schools and books likeEducation Towards Freedom have helped them make the informed choice to take a different route for their children. The book covers all aspects of Steiner-Waldorf education and divides it into the pre-school years, the first eight years (starting about age seven), and the last four years (from 14 to 18). There are also sections on the rhythm of the day, specific subjects, the use of textbooks, and school in the modern world. show less

Así será posible aportar al orden social nuevas fuerzas procedentes de las jóvenes generaciones. Cuando el hombre, una vez adulto, puede tomar en sus manos como personalidad plenamente madura las responsabilidades de su propia evolución, el registro que tiene ahora a su disposición depende ampliamente de los servicios que le hayan prestado sus educadores y maestros cuando aún se encontraba en los años de la infancia y juventud. Una pedagogía que aspira a apartar la mayor parte posible de los obstáculos físicos y psíquicos que en la edad adulta se show more le puede interponer en el camino al dominio consciente del “yo”, es lícito denominarla “educación hacia la libertad”. Este libro quisiera dar testimonio de la amplia riqueza de posibilidades que pueden ser despertadas en los niños y jóvenes mediante una pedagogía que trabaja en este sentido show less
