Sunday With Sarah, Waldorf Education

Waldorf Education Around the World + Announcing My New Adventure!

 

 

Did you know that there are now more than 1,000 Waldorf schools around the world? The international movement for Waldorf education is growing exponentially as parents in vastly varied cultures are seeking a more holistic form of education that honors the whole child —head, heart, and hands.

“Sunday With Sarah” will be on hiatus until June 29. Click on this week’s video to learn why! I hope to have lots of stories to share and some incredible videos for you when I return.

Here is a link to the Waldorf school for the Samburu children that I will be visiting.

In the meantime, my wonderful and capable assistant, Sarah McLean-Anderson, will be holding down the fort at Bella Luna Toys during my absence to ensure the same level of personal customer service that our customers have come to expect.

What adventures do you have planned this summer? If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? I’d love to hear your dreams!

Jack Petrash: Educating Children for the Future

This week, instead of my usual “Sunday With Sarah” video, I present to you Jack Petrash, a master Waldorf teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. He is also an author, father, and one of the best spokespersons for Waldorf education that I know.

How do we educate children in a rapidly changing world and prepare them for a future that we can’t yet envision?

Jack attempts to answer this question in an inspiring TEDx Talk entitled “Educating Children for the Journey” which I am delighted to share with you here today.

So grab a cup of tea, carve out 10 minutes for yourself, and prepare to be inspired!

BOOKS BY JACK PETRASH:

Understanding Waldorf Education: Teaching from the Inside Out

Navigating the Terrain of Childhood: A Guidebook for Meaningful Parenting and Heartfelt Discipline

Covering Home: Lessons on the Art of Fathering from the Game of Baseball

What comments from Jack’s talk resonated most with you? Was there anything you disagreed with with? Were you left with any questions? Please share your thoughts here!
