“We have heard Else's pearls of wisdom for so many years; she always inspired us with her up-to-date knowledge about Waldorf education. Finally we are able to read these wise words here.
This is a precious book for everyone who works in the field of Waldorf education, but especially for mentors and mentees. Many teachers will recognize Else's "voice" in this book”.

“Successful teaching requires true craftsmanship. There is hardly a better way to acquire this craftsmanship than from an old hand who is also a master at it. Now here you’ll find just such a one - with 65 years of experience!
Just try out some of these ideas and techniques (that some may deem “passé”, “no longer suitable for our time” or even “impossible now”), or better yet, follow her examples and indications to come up with new activities that will be even better suited to your class. Be brave! Be creative! Be a master at your craft! Let Else Göttgens show you one way…
A “must-read” for teachers who actively seek the very best for their students and for those who take responsibility for their craft (professionalism).”

“As a mentor preparing teachers untrained in Waldorf pedagogy to take a class in our Waldorf-methods charter school, I feel Else Göttgens, through this little book, is my educational partner. I give this book to every one of our new teachers and encourage them to use it daily. I, too, learn something new, or remember something of value, each time I open Waldorf Education in Practice.”

Else Göttgens is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. She has an infectious sense of humor and a wisdom that runs deep and clear. The few times I was in her presence she said things about children and teaching and human beings in general that I have never forgotten and continue to use as foundations for my own life dozens of years later. As one could expect from such a person,Waldorf Education in Practice is inspiring at its core, practical at every turn, and really good reading, too.
Else covers just about every aspect of teaching grade school children, and always from her experience and always with excellent, do-able suggestions. I’m going to share with you one short section, which I believe captures the flavor of this book anyone who teaches will want to keep near their bedsides for nightly refreshment.
(...) This is the most life-filled book on the subject I’ve ever read and I know that life will stream into the world and inspire much teaching and learning joy.
