Overview of book: (Books provided by WSRF for first 15 RSVPs and available at the link here) 

The book studied will be School as a Journey by Torin Finser, which explores one class teacher’s journey with his Waldorf class through the grades from 1st to 8th grade. Straightforward and humorous, School as a Journey provides an excellent introduction to the daily activities of a Waldorf school classroom. Torin Finser―who is now Director of Waldorf Teacher Training at Antioch New England Graduate School―wrote this book especially for parents, prospective parents, and educators who are new to Waldorf education.

Filled with pedagogical gems, tips, and resources, School as a Journey will also prove an invaluable resource and for those who wish to delve more deeply into this revolutionary form of education, the author has also included extensive documentation, with references to the works of Rudolf Steiner and of others experienced in Waldorf education.
