Reading, Writing, and Testing in Waldorf Education

In this episode I bring Helen Ann Ireland on the show to talk about how and reading writing are taught in the Waldorf approach. We also get into the topic of testing, why there aren’t tests in the early grades, and how students are assessed academically throughout Waldorf education. Additional show notes and resources for this episode can be found at:http://waldorfy.com/reading-writing-and-testing-in-waldorf-education/Theme music composed and performed by Book Kennison.

Om Podcasten

Waldorfy serves to explore and explain Waldorf Education and Anthroposophy. In most episodes, I discuss topics with a Waldorf teacher, or someone with knowledge about anthroposophy, to deliver accurate, simple, interesting, information and explanations. When possible we’ll bring to attention any research or studies surrounding the topics we are exploring. My main aim is to reach parents, perspective parents, and alumni to engage them with the meaning and purpose of Waldorf Education and it’s connection with anthroposophy.
