WHOLE LANGUAGE TEACHING WHOLE-HEARTED PRACTICE ...

This seminal collection brings together the multiple perspectives of whole language educators
over the course of the past thirty-five years. The essays illustrate the complex ways in which
whole language teachers have been and continue to be political activists through their
interactions with students  the teachers' beliefs about teaching  learning  and curriculum 
their commitment to critical thinking and social justice  their collaborative engagements with
other teachers  their role as leaders of change in schools and communities  and  finally  their
activism in society. Although many believe that we are living in a climate where the term whole
language is considered taboo  the contributors to this book demonstrate hopefulness for the
future of whole language: as Yetta and Ken Goodman write in the concluding chapter  whole
language is alive and well.
