Elevator Speech--Part 3

My own attempt at an elevator speech to describe Waldorf education. Waddaya think?

Education inheres in the relationship of student and teacher. A teacher’s job is to connect the student in a developmentally appropriate way to the world—the world of nature and the world of culture (human beings participate in and link these two worlds). To do this, given the individuality of each student, teachers require insight. Through self-development via a contemplative, meditative path, teachers may increase their capacity to know their students and obtain the insights that will assist them in their task. Rudolf Steiner outlined Waldorf education according to these principles, and his method of inquiry, known as anthroposophy, describes a path of self-development toward insight.
