Steiner Early Childhood Teaching
AUT's Bachelor of Education in Steiner Early Childhood Teaching is the first state recognised Steiner qualification available in New Zealand.There are over 1000 Steiner Waldorf schools, and 1800 early childhood centres internationally, and growth in Steiner education is expected to be high.
The Steiner approach to teaching places a large emphasis on the role of the imagination in learning.
Considerable freedom is given to Steiner schools and teachers to develop their own curriculum and there is an overall view that childhood is divided into seven-year developmental stages, each having their own learning requirements.
