Peterson, Michael
Talking Points, v13 n1 p28-30 Oct-Nov 2001
Describes the Whole Schooling Consortium (and invites participation in this growing network). Notes it draws from and builds on the experiences of progressive national school reform organizations. Discusses its five principles: empower citizens in a democracy; include all; provide authentic, multi-level teaching for diverse learners; build community and support learning; and partner with families and the community.
