Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) - Steiner's Pedagogical Approach - Human, Education, Waldorf, and Physical Educator, philosopher, artist, and scientist, Rudolf Steiner founded the Freie Waldorfschule (Independent Waldorf School) in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919; its establishment led to the Waldorf educational movement with more than 800 schools worldwide in the early twenty-first century. Steiner's spiritual—scientific research is known as anthroposophy. Rudolf Steiner was born in Kraljevec, Austria-Hungary (now Croatia). His father was stationmaster on the Southern Austrian Railroad. Rudolf Steiner first attended the Volksschule, then the scientific Realschule in Wiener Neustadt, and graduated from the Technical University in Vienna in 1884. In 1882 he was offered the editorship of Goethe's natural scientific writings for the Kürschner edition of German national literature. In 1900 he was asked by leaders of the Theosophical Society to speak on his own spiritual—scientific research. In 1917 Steiner completed thirty years of research on the threefold nature of the human being.
Montessori education Children working on the phonogram moveable alphabet[1] Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori and characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development. Although a range of practices exists under the name "Montessori", the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the American Montessori Society (AMS) cite these elements as essential:[2][3] In addition, many Montessori schools design their programs with reference to Montessori's model of human development from her published works, and use pedagogy, lessons, and materials introduced in teacher training derived from courses presented by Montessori during her lifetime.[citation needed] History[edit] Montessori education spread to the United States in 1911 and became widely known in education and popular publications.

Finnish National Agency for Education - Curricula 2014 The new curricula have been introduced - how is basic education reformed? The new curricula for compulsory basic education are implemented in all municipalities and schools as of 1 August 2016.
