===Rudolf Steiner===
[[Rudolf Steiner]] (1861–1925) first described the principles of what was to become [[Waldorf education]] in 1907. He established a series of schools based on these principles beginning in 1919. The focus of the education is on creating a developmentally appropriate curriculum that holistically integrates practical, artistic, social, and academic experiences.<ref>* [http://www.ibe.unesco.org/publications/ThinkersPdf/steinere.pdf Heiner Ullrich, "Rudolf Steiner"], ''Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education'' (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol.XXIV, no. 3/4, 1994, p.&nbsp;555–572</ref><ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/the-big-question-who-was-rudolf-steiner-and-what-were-his-revolutionary-teaching-ideas-433407.html "Who was Rudolf Steiner and what were his revolutionary teaching ideas?"], [[Richard Garner]], Education Editor, ''The Independent''</ref> There are more than a thousand schools and many more [[early childhood]] centers worldwide; it has also become a popular form of [[homeschooling]].<ref name=schulliste>{{cite web| url = http://www.freunde-waldorf.de/fileadmin/user_upload/images/Waldorf_World_List/Waldorf_World_List.pdf| title = Statistics for Waldorf schools worldwide}}</ref><ref>M.
