Summer 2007 | Volume 64 Engaging the Whole Child (online only)
Marge Scherer
Which practices put the child at the center of the education enterprise? In this edition of Educational Leadership Online, our authors discuss “whole child” practices—practices that challenge students academically, engage their interests and enthusiasm, and support them as learners and people. (See Educational Leadership, May 2007, for more articles on this topic.)
In “Two Takes on Whole,” Stephanie Pace Marshall and Hugh B. Price explain the urgency around the whole child approach: how a whole child education is more likely to produce graduates who have the skills they need for success in work and life in the 21st century. (Hear audio snippets from their interview with Educational Leadership.)
From coaching students to improve their writing to teaching history through virtual and real tours, this issue provides ideas and links that will help you engage your students in learning. Please join us on the ASCD blog to discuss these articles with fellow readers. You can comment on any article—and possibly talk with some of the authors, too—by going to www.ascd.org/blog.
See you in September, when the print edition of Educational Leadership returns.
