Practical Course for Teachers
GA 294
Together with Study of Man and Discussions with Teachers these
discussions form the basic training material given by Steiner
to the teachers of the first Waldorf school. Here are 14 lectures,
given at Stuttgart at the founding of the first Waldorf School
in August and September of 1919. This is a First Edition, English
translation of this important pedagogical Course.
These lectures have also been published in English with the title,
Practical Advice to Teachers,
and are published in German with the title,
Erziehungskunst. Methodisch-didaktisches
(vol. 294 in the Bibliographic Survey).
