5.0 out of 5 stars A good book for a broad overview of Waldorf Education
This is good basic starting point or introduction to Waldorf education. It’s a simple read which is easy to follow. Perhaps not applicable globally but given that the author is American they can’t be blamed for it strongly representing American Waldorf Education
5.0 out of 5 stars Down-to-earth explanation
This is a good, no-nonsense introduction to Waldorf Education.It doesn't preach or philosophise, unlike the Christopher Clouder book, and is easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in education, mainstream or 'alternative.'

good
5.0 out of 5 stars Fab book, glad I bought it
Brilliant book for parents to understand the education.
3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't go far enough for me.
From the perspective of an experienced UK state school teacher - A useful book, in that it showed that Waldorf Education - as outlined here, anyway - is not that different to what "reformed" state education aspires to be now: an integrated curriculum, longer lessons, education of the whole child as an individual. Only difference is, Waldorf appears to consistently, mostly at least, enjoy some success at this because its underpinning theories - and this book doesn't deal with anthroposophy - are strong, simple and consistently taught. Very American perspective, so maybe take with a pinch of salt; the tone is a bit folksy and rose-tinted. Despite this, frequent references to undesirable behaviour with only one instance of how that could be addressed by the teacher. There is an irritating amount of spelling and grammatical errors and towards the end, several missing full-stops made me re-read passages searching for the sense.... but a quick read, although it sent me straight back to the marketplace to look for a more recent, in-depth, practical and UK perspective. (Any suggestions)?

More suitable to the Lower than the Middle and Upper Schools, but still a valuable text. The item was received in condition described, and at the time expected.
An excellent introduction to steiner education
I read this book and then bought it for my brother as a gift. It explains the heart of this educational philosophy in accessible language. highly recommended.
Will make you want to becoming a Waldorf Teacher
I read this book before enrolling my daughter in Waldorf Preschool. It is an easy to follow summary of Waldorf philosophy with great examples of teaching techniques. Reading this book made me want to go back to school to train to be a Waldorf Teacher.
At last! An accessible description.
I've been a Waldorf parent for 4 years and have been pleased with the education and life experience my kids are getting at school. But I haven't been able to describe to people who ask about the Waldorf school what makes it so different, so special. I've found most of Rudolf Steiner's (Waldorf education's original mastermind) work to be impenetrable; probably due to weak translations, but still. I've read a lot of dense stuff in my day, but Steiner's is unsloggable. This book by Jack Petrash, however, I loved. It's written so 21st century mortals can understand it and relate to it. Right from the first chapter, I understood it and felt it understood me. In the second chapter I thought, "Oh, now he's really captured it. He should have put this chapter first." I thought that again about the third, fourth, and fifth chapters and then decided he probably had the order okay in the first place.
Excelente libro!
Muy claro, sencillo e interesante. Muy recomendable si quieres darte una idea general de la pedagogía Waldorf y ejemplos de cómo vivirla.
