Synopsis "Methodological Advice for Teachers"

This is the second of three seminars given by Rudolf Steiner to the founding teachers of the Stuttgart Waldorf School in 1919, which makes it one of the most fundamental cycles on Waldorf Education. It contains a feast of methodological advice, everything from a remarkably innovative way of teaching reading to history, geography, and mathematics. Above all, wonder is to suffuse the entire curriculum, and everything human is to be viewed holistically. Steiner ends on a resounding chord, sounding four shining principles that are to guide teachers at all times.

Rudolf Steiner (Donji Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire, now Croatia, February 25 or 27, 1861-Dornach, Switzerland, March 30, 1925) was an Austrian philosopher, literary scholar, educator, artist, playwright, social thinker, and occultist. He was the founder of anthroposophy, Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, anthroposophic medicine, and the new artistic form of eurythmy.

He described anthroposophy as follows: Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge that would like to lead the spiritual in man to the spiritual in the universe. Those who feel certain questions about the essence of man and the world as a vital necessity as the one felt when we are hungry and thirsty can be anthroposophists.

Steiner proposed a form of ethical individualism, to which he later added a more explicitly spiritual component. He derived his epistemology from the worldview of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, according to which thought is an organ of perception just like the eye or the ear. Just as the eye perceives colors and the ear sounds, so thought perceives ideas.
