Looking at the past and present with an eye to how the understanding of the term \u003ci\u003eWaldorf education\u003c\/i\u003e has changed over time, the author identifies key trends in education, both Waldorf and general education, to imagine the direction in which Waldorf education may move in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart one shows how the number of Waldorf schools grew slowly and steadily and how they have evolved through four generations, changing gradually from \"experiments\" to \"alternatives\" and, in the process, forging and re-forging Waldorf education itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart two examines the methods and myths of Waldorf education, showing what is essential and what is extraneous.
