 | Rhythms of Learning by Roberto Trostli, Rudolf Steiner
Waldorf education, which began with a single school in 1919, has in eighty years become the fastest growing independent school movement in the world. Parents around the world can see in their children the results of an education that considers the whole child as body, soul, and spirit. In numerous lectures and through his initial teacher training, Rudolf Steiner described and suggested methods of education based on the stages of development in children themselves. He was able to describe the activities of spirit and soul that occur in children and manifest as distinct changes in physiology, such as the change of teeth and puberty. In each section of Rhythms of Learning, Roberto Trostli introduces the reader to Rudolf Steiner`s lectures on specific aspects of the child`s rhythm of development, and to the ways that Waldorf education responds to the child at each stage of growth. We are shown how Waldorf teachers must, through their own inner capacities and awareness, learn to recognize and meet each new stage of development in children as they unfold new capacities of body, soul, and spirit. Waldorf education is not based on pre-set methods and curricula, but depends on the creativity and spiritual development of the teachers themselves, who must respond spontaneously to each child and situation anew.

 | New American Schools' Concept of Break-the-Mold Designs by Susan J. Bodilly
Business leaders created New American Schools, a private nonprofit corporation, in 1991 to develop break-the-mold designs for schools serving grades K-12. This report documents the significant changes in the designs that have taken place over the initiative's life span and the reasons for those changes. NAS drove some of the changes in its decisions to fund or not to fund specific designs. The designs themselves changed in terms of their educational components and theories. Finally, the design teams developed implementation strategies and assistance packages over time that resulted in the expansion of the design concept to the concept of design-based assistance. Some of the changes made to designs were beneficial in promoting the concept of a design-based school, especially the development of stronger curriculum packages, clearer descriptions of the designs, and significant work toward assistance for schools to adopt designs. However, concessions to district and state policies led design teams to redefine some design elements, allowing significant local variation and possible incoherence and fragmentation within schools using designs. If this reform is to succeed, policymakers must revitalize it by taking the current environment into account and helping to make it more supportive. AUTHOR: Susan J. Bodilly
