Description:
Abstract. The fact that Waldorf schools, in their conception of themselves, are orientated toward developmental education can manifest itself in their practice of carrying out student appraisals. These are general and not limited to a student’s performance and are presented within the faculty meetings. In the current debate about the professionalization of educational practice, methods of ‘learning from individual cases’ are also gaining significance. In this context, concepts of educational casuistry can incorporate (recorded) interactive events within teacher-student relationships. A text document from the faculty meetings with R. Steiner is used to illustrate to what extent methodically exaggerated case studies can be useful tools in applied Waldorf education.
