Teaching of a specific subject; Educational: Physical education (including dance)

There is growing recognition in educational circles that helping children to build the skills they need to thrive in adult life is as important as learning facts and passing exams. These important skills include communication, persistence in the face of challenge, adaptability, teamwork, good manners, self-control, responsibility and punctuality. Every Steiner-Waldorf school aims to provide a progression of challenging academic content for which the students are emotionally and physiologically prepared.

Jeff Tunkey highlights how focusing on a child's physiological and emotional development is just as important as academic learning, especially in the early grades. He argues that children need a varied curriculum of movement, drawing and painting, in order to build core competencies such as posture, spatial orientation and physical coordination. This book includes helpful exercises and activities for strengthening the whole class and advice on building bridges with parents.

This illuminating resource argues that these foundational practices of Waldorf education should be part of the curriculum for all students, in all classes, every day.

Reviews for Educating for Balance and Resilience: Developmental Movement, Drawing, and Painting in Waldorf Education

I found that utilizing even one sample of his many treasures made an immediate difference in the work with my class. His ideas are immediate and practical for the work of resource specialists, movement teachers and class teachers alike. --Jennifer Snyder, public school Waldorf teacher and member of the Pedagogical Section Council of North America
