Educating as an Art

Twenty-five years ago at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, Ekkehard Piening and Nich Lyons, long-time teacher and parent, edited a collection of articles concerning Waldorf education. Their efforts resulted in the volume known as Educating as an Art, published in celebration of the Includes beautiful four-color images from the 75th Anniversary Art Show - 50th anniversary of the Rudolf Steiner School. Now, twenty-five years later in 2003 the school celebrates its seventy-fifth year as well as seventy-five years of Waldorf education in North America. This new edition of Educating as an Art commemorates the work of those faculty members, and includes contributions of a new generation of teachers.
