As a response to this challenge, the Research Institute for Waldorf Education was established in 1996. The Research Institute has responded to the call for research as a top priority of the Waldorf movement by becoming a supporting organization of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and by co-sponsoring research projects with AWSNA. The Research Institute publishes the Research Bulletin twice a year, supports and conducts research projects and develops eductional resources to help teachers in all aspects of their work.
