Dr. Neil Boland現任紐西蘭奧克蘭科技大學教授，擁有在日本、紐西蘭、德國等地長達17年的中小學教學經驗，並通過瑞士歌德館教育部門推動全球華德福師培者的交流與創新，為華德福教育發展作出深遠貢獻。身為華德福碩士班的長期國際合作教學教授之一，Dr. Boland談到與華德福碩士班學生合作的過程總讓他倍感愉悅與振奮，特別是看到學生們如何加深對教育價值的理解以及華德福教育在這當中扮演的角色，這一切都讓他深受鼓舞。

他認為清華國際華德福碩士專班在亞洲具有其獨一無二的特質，不僅由國內外資深教授合作教學，深入探討華德福教育的現代議題與在地實踐，思索未來教育需求的目標，更是吸引了來自各界的學員投入學習。不僅是華德福教師和家長，任何想探索並深化理解創新教育理念的人，都能在碩士班中找到學習與成長的機會。

以下為Dr. Boland的原文：

The Waldorf master's program offered by NTHU is one of a kind in Asia. Delivered in Mandarin and English, it is attractive not only to Waldorf teachers and parents but also to anyone interested in deepening their understanding of this established and innovative approach to education.

Guided by highly qualified and experienced tutors from Taiwan and overseas, students explore contemporary and localised interpretations of Waldorf education and, significantly, consider possible future forms which can better fit the needs of children and the complex times they live in.

Speaking personally, it is always a real pleasure to work with the students on the master's program. The modules are put together to complement and build on each other, culminating in an in-depth thesis project of the student's choice. It is heartening to be able to observe students expand and deepen their understanding of the importance of education in society how Waldorf education can help with this.
