Welcome to the WREN - Waldorf Research Educators Network

WREN is intended to be a way of communication between all those interested in research into Steiner Waldorf education and also into educational topics that have a bearing on Steiner education.

By disseminating and sharing such research we are more able to improve the practices in the early years settings, schools and teacher seminars. As educators whose responsibility is for a healthily integrated and nurturing education for all children, as well as their general well-being, we need a wide perspective of what is happening in all areas of our educational environment, as well as a clear and informed insight into the Waldorf classroom itself.
