How can we educate children for the twenty-first century? Here is a wide range of articles, videos, podcasts, and student art that will provide a deep and broad set of answers to that question. This app was created by Eugene Schwartz, educator, international lecturer, and author, who for over three decades has been engaged in teaching children and adults using instructional methods based on Anthroposophy. Eugene has been a class teacher at Green Meadow Waldorf School, Director of Teacher Training at Sunbridge College, and a visiting lecturer at Rudolf Steiner College. He has given over 2500 lectures on Waldorf education, and written ten books exploring Rudolf Steiners educational impulse. Included in the contents:
-- 50 hours of podcasts and videos illuminating the unique qualities of the developmentally-based classroom.
-- Over 150 images of drawings and bookwork created by children experiencing education born out of the Spirit, not the syllabus.
-- Scores of essays explaining in depth the unfolding of the fourfold being of the child, with a special emphasis on the Etheric Body and the Etheric World -- the most overlooked factor in todays school.
-- Eight Curricular Guides for the age-appropriate classroom, Grades One through Eight
-- Special Sections on Anthroposophy, Parenting, and Homeschooling
-- New material will be added every month!
Whether you are an experienced teacher brushing up on a specific subject or a teacher trainee minutes away from teaching your first demonstration class; whether you are a parent wondering what a third-graders drawings should look like or a development director prepping for an Elevator Talk you have to give to a potential donor . . . . the e.Theric app will be a lifesaver.
