The Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship works with Steiner schools to translate and articulate a 100-year-old curriculum tradition in the 21st Century. In this presentation, Kath and Martyn talk about this developmental curriculum, as radically different, and some of the questions that this alternative model poses. Is it more important to learn about the curriculum, or through it? How can a curriculum meet the developmental needs of the child in a holistic way – ‘head, heart and hands – thinking, feeling and willing’? And can a curriculum support children and young people to make decisions about how they want to be in the world? (). The talk addresses the purpose of education as the ‘schooling of attention’ to develop the capacities that are latent in the learner, in order to take part in the renewal of society, and the role of teachers in designing this curriculum as those who are closest to it.
