From the Introduction:

"With the advent of Steiner education into the 'public' sphere, one of the intentions of the Steiner education movement in this country (UK) is to find a voice to make a more direct contribution to the educational discourse. There is a pressing need to share insights and ideas, which, at times, may be regarded as unconventional or radical, although at other times, might be seen rather as the articulation of shared questions from a different perspective or vantage point. The hope is that this initial piece of research will act as a catalyst and prompt for the continued probing and exploration of Steiner's ideas on education – both the theory and the practice."
