Teachers themselves, and the styles they use in the classroom, are inevitably wide-ranging and unique. However, there are certain character traits that can be seen in the most effective teachers: dedication, flexibility, good humour and an openness to learn new things. Experienced Steiner-Waldorf teacher and teacher trainer Jack Petrash here offers his sensitive observations and insights into all aspects of teaching and being a teacher, as well as a lifelong learner. He shares a wealth of pedagogical insight which is both grounded in experience and which illustrates the sound principles of Waldorf education. Chapters include key areas for teachers such as developing good habits, the morning circle, working with parents, and the twelve-year change. Turning Lead into Gold provides light and insight for teachers, whether brand new to the vocation or experienced.
Jack Petrash has been a Waldorf teacher for over 30 years, spending much of that time at the Washington Waldorf School in the USA. He has written extensively on issues related to innovative classroom instruction and is the author of Understanding Waldorf Education.
