Riassunto

The handwork and practical arts curriculum in Waldorf schools stimulates children's creative powers. At the same time, it establishes an aesthetic confidence by developing the child's will -- that part of us which interacts with the world, and lays the foundation for our thinking. This masterly book argues that only by working with their hands does our children's cognition develop as it should. It examines the craft curriculum from Years 1 to 8, and all the way through High School. This is a wonderful curriculum resource for Waldorf teachers which includes numerous practical projects, as well as exploring the particular benefits that the activities have.

Patricia Livingston taught handwork for 27 years at the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City. While there she worked in many areas of the school, served as chairperson, and took a special interest in teacher training and parent education. She served as a member of the Pedagogical Section Council for many years. David Mitchell was a Waldorf teacher for over 35 years. He served as chairman of Publications for the Association of Waldorf Schools of North AMerica (AWSNA) and was co-chair of the Research Institute for Waldorf Education (RIWE). He was a class teacher and manual arts teacher at the Pine Hill Waldorf School in Wilton, New Hampshire, where he was also an adjunct professor of education at Antioch New England University. For many years he was a Waldorf high school teacher specializing in life sciences, Shakespeare, and the practical arts. In 1987, while teaching at the Shining Mountain Waldorf School in Boulder, Colorado, he was selected by the AMGEN Corporation as one of the top two teachers in Colorado and was given a stipend to write a book on teaching chemistry in grades 7-9. Throughout his professional life he maintained laws for working with his hands and teaching practical arts: woodworking, stone carving, blacksmithing, and copper chasing.
