101: No Childhood Left Behind
At some point in her child's life (or at many points!) every Waldorf parent has to answer the question posed by an in-law, sibling, or a neighbor: "Just what is Waldorf education?" In this lecture, Eugene Schwartz presents an in-depth and comprehensive answer to that perennial question. Here are to be found modern perspectives on the developmental picture that underlies Waldorf education, on the psychological premises that permeate the social life of the school, and on the intellectual rigor that informs the complex curriculum. If you can only purchase one lecture on Waldorf education, this is the one!

106: Multiple Intelligences and Waldorf Education
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.
