Waldorf Clearing House Newsletter Archive The Clearing House Newsletter was a subscription Newsletter written by and for Waldorf teachers. Over the years, contributions covering a wide range of topics and classroom experience appeared. Early issues served to make visible general news, teaching ideas, newly discovered resources, and the needs of the teachers for translations and source materials. Later issues were generally thematic, addressing one topic or another in the curriculum, or in the practice of Waldorf education. Please bear in mind that this is an archive - and some of the material contained is therefore somewhat dated. However, because we feel that a great deal of it is still useful and should be available to those who are interested, we have elected to publish the contents of each issue in this section of the Online Library. The table of contents for each issue can be found below, and clicking on the link will take you to the appropriate Adobe PDF file. Some of these files are pretty large - please be patient.
