The Research Institute for Waldorf Education Summary of Activities Supported by the Research Institute
The Research Institute for Waldorf Education is an initiative working on behalf of the Waldorf movement. It has received support and guidance from the Pedagogical Section of the School of Spiritual Science and financial support through the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), the Midwest Shared Gifting Group and the Waldorf Schools Fund and The Waldorf Curriculum Fund. The Research Institute was founded in 1996 in order to deepen and enhance the quality of Waldorf education, to engage in serious and sustained dialogue with the wider educational-cultural community and to support research that would serve educators in all types of schools in their work with children and adolescents. The Research Institute has responded to the call for research as a top priority of the Waldorf movement by becoming a supporting organization of AWSNA and by co-sponsoring research projects with the Association. We have supported research projects that deal with essential contemporary educational issues such as attention-related disorders, trends in adolescent development and innovations in the high school curriculum, learning expectations and assessment, computers in education, the role of art in education and new ways to identify and address different learning styles. The Research Institute has sponsored colloquia and conferences that have brought together educators, psychologists, doctors, and social scientists. We have published a Research Bulletin twice a year for the last nine years, and we are developing and distributing educational resources to help teachers in all aspects of their work. The Research Institute is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. The
