We acknowledge the passing of Betty Staley, teacher at Sacramento Waldorf School, as well as author and adult educator, who passed away early this year. She was the author of several books that are staples in any Waldorf parent bookshelf; two of these are Between Form and Freedom – a practical guide to the teenage years, a sensitive and practical guide to supporting adolescents, and Tapestries, a book that explores the seven-year biographical stages as outlined by Rudolf Steiner.
Staley has been widely celebrated for the way that she brought the wisdom of Steiner’s philosophies into the present active realm of teaching, bringing along with it her own wisdom and deep understanding of human psychology.
Her insight and commitment to contemporary Waldorf pedagogy will be missed in the world of Waldorf teaching.
Staley’s books, as well as many others, are available to borrow from the Michael Park School library.
