Discover Waldorf Education: Movie Trailer for "Waldorf Education for All"

Waldorf Education for All marks the first time that Waldorf charter schools -- tuition free public schools that ascribe to a developmental methodology and teach according to the Waldorf curriculum -- have ever been filmed. Field coordinator Eugene Schwartz and his crew visited four Waldorf charter schools in Northern California in the spring of 2010 and set to work. Nothing was staged or prearranged: they filmed real classrooms with real children being taught by real teachers.
Spontaneity and warmth, rigorous thinking, joyful learning -- in this film such terms are not mere sound-bites. Cameraman Hal Rifkin and editor Sam Russell draw us smack into the middle of the classroom and give us a kinesthetic experience of what it is like to learn in the Waldorf setting. Never before has the warmth and intensity of the Waldorf teacher/student relationship been captured so fully as in this film.

I do a lot of work with public Waldorf schools, and I have positive impressions of their striving and their achievement. Please get hold of the DVD of this movie and you will see the remarkable caliber of the teachers.

Hi Mr. Schwartz. What are your thoughts on this going public. I know that at our school (Sandpoint Waldorf School) there is mixed feelings from some teachers---who believe that it ought come from parents initiative (I guess that means their pockets)? However, I have four children and am low on the social economic chart and am very convicted that every one of my children ought to have a waldorf education===so it is almost becomes impossible? I'm personally excited, and believe in the depths of
