Since its publication in 1983, Frames of Mind, written by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, has had a powerful effect on American educational thought.  And even as the number of schools that ascribe to Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences has increased exponentially, the number of Waldorf schools in North America has been doubling every decade. This lecture examines the parallels – and the contrasts – between M.I. Theory and Waldorf education.  $17.50                                                            

What happens when adults who were educated in the 1960s meet children growing up in the 21^st century? This sometimes comic, often explosive, but usually discouraging  encounter constitutes a severe trial for most parents and teachers. Eugene’s insights as a parent and teacher have made this our most popular-offering. $17.50                                                                  

Almost every Waldorf school in the United States experiences attrition at the sixth grade level. Are Waldorf schools inherently weak in the “intermediate” years?  Should they be preparing children to meet the challenges of mainstream education? This lecture looks at the developmental changes that occur at ages 12 - 13. This CD will be of great help to any family wishing to understand how Waldorf education remains viable through adolescence.

103: Building Community in the Classroom: The Four Temperaments in Action

The “Four Temperaments” have recently been “rediscovered” by Jerome Kagan of Harvard. This lecture provides an experiential approach to this valuable path of understanding children and bringing greater harmony into the home and classroom settings.  $17.50 

The challenges of “classroom management” grow more daunting each year. The pervasive influence of the media, the lack of rhythm and structure at home, and the dizzying speed of modern life all contribute to making today’s children more nervous, insecure and needy than ever. In this lecture Eugene views “difficult children” as mirrors of our difficult times, from whom teachers and parents have much to learn.

The many children’s stories written by Eugene Schwartz – some of which appear in his book, Why the Setting Sun Turns Red and Other Stories for Children – are perennial favorites in Waldorf schools.  In this lecture, given at an Informed Parenting conference to an audience of home schooling parents, Waldorf school parents, and teachers, Eugene discusses creative ways to answer the questions posed by young children, and imaginative, narrative approaches to difficult behavioral and social challenges in the home and the classroom.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is believed to affect anywhere from 10% to 30% of American schoolchildren. Eugene Schwartz has worked directly with ADHD children and has served as a consultant to Waldorf school teachers, public school teachers and child psychologists struggling with this contemporary challenge. He surveys the prevalent mainstream schools of thought concerning ADHD, and explores the means by which Waldorf methods can help.  $17.50                                                                 

Any Waldorf parent/teacher body that is experiencing communication difficulties will find this lecture to be practical and insightful.  Drawing on his understanding of the demands of the “Age of Michael,” Eugene examines the critical differences between parenting and teaching, and how these distinctions can lead to unrealistic expectations and misunderstandings. With characteristic candor and refreshing frankness, Eugene provides a pragmatic foundation for the Waldorf community of parents and teachers.
