“You acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way…you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” Aristotle
After researching the lives and work of a range of very successful people, Professor Stephen Covey identified seven practices that they all had in common. His book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People has been a foundation text in university management schools ever since. What of Steiner school students? Our education lays down habits of living and learning that are intended to be lifelong. There are many healthy and uplifting practices our students do almost every day, and they can become lifelong habits that provide a grounded foundation for life. Of the many, here are the ones that stand out as the seven habits of highly effective Steiner school graduates.
