BookBank Survey Results January 13 2026

It has been a delight to collate and summarize the returns on the BookBank survey sent earlier this year to all AWSNA Member Waldorf Schools. WP is not in the business of surveying its participants, making this undertaking an entry into an unexplored field. Also, WP is in the vanguard of Waldorf education  only in the sense that, as a  support organization designed by  AWSNA delegates in 1987, it produces professionally prepared, reliably authentic materials for Waldorf teachers, schools, and communities. For this survey — a new venture for WP — we thank you in advance for your responses and suggestions.

Three Timelines in the Education of a Youngster: Three Opportunities for Misunderstanding April 28 2016

Let us think peace and use the understanding of dissimilar timelines to weave collaboration and solutions instead of additional strife in an unsettled and unsettling world. Our children will thrive if we do.

Collaborative Leadership May 08 2014

The Pedagogical Section Council (PSC) in its work together provides our Waldorf schools with an active model of collaborative leadership difficult to find in today’s contentious society. Together our Council members study, practice artistically, and consider meditatively the challenges and successes in our Waldorf schools.

Perhaps their deepest and most significant practice is in that of devotion. Their completely volunteer efforts include dedicated imagining of the unfolding human being into the work of Waldorf schools and the practice of Waldorf teachers in their daily consciousness. This might just be the finest gift possible to our movement on behalf of children. In collaborative leadership a model of honesty and respect creates something for children to emulate: a “horizontal leadership” from mutual recognition instead of “top-down” decision-making.
