Synopsis

This fully revised edition of Understanding the Steiner Waldorf Approach is a much needed source of information for those wishing to extend and consolidate their understanding of the Steiner Waldorf early childhood approach. It enables the reader to analyse the essential elements of the Steiner Waldorf Approach to early childhood and its relationship to quality early years practice.

Covering all areas of the curriculum including observation and assessment, child development, play, repetition and the environment, this new edition has been updated to reflect recent curriculum changes and explore the influence of media and technology. Including a new chapter on expanding the Steiner Waldorf approach to work with children from birth to three, the book:

• describes the key principles of the Steiner Waldorf approach to early childhood with examples from Steiner settings;
• provides an accessible and objective overview of a key pedagogical influence on high quality early years practice in the United Kingdom;
• highlights the key ideas that practitioners should consider when reviewing their own practice;
• contains summaries of key points and reflective practice questions to help students and practitioners engage with the ideas in the book.
• can be used as the basis for continuing professional development and action research.

Written to support the work of all those in the field of early years education and childcare, this text is essential reading for students, practitioners, leaders, managers and all those wanting to improve their early years practice.
