Torin M. Finser, PhD, Core Faculty in Education (New England) and Antioch’s Director of Waldorf Programs, published a book titled Listening to Our Teachers.
This book (first published as Silence Is Complicity) began at an Antioch University Waldorf program for educators. Its goal is to introduce students to action research, philosophy, and methodology for transformative change. This revised and expanded edition focuses on research and the inner life, indigenous research methods, and much more—all to empower teachers and support their enthusiasm for learning and developing new curricula.
Today, teachers are caught between “best practices” as recognized by dedicated educators and standardization, regardless of the student’s unique capacities. The book proposes that good teaching is interactive—watching and observing children leads to innovative lesson plans and creative group activities.
