Metaphorically, “whole language” describes an educational ethos that, like language, develops in a social context, imparts meaning, and symbolizes experience. Fragmentation between person and process, individual and society, thinking and learning violate its principles.
This metaphor runs throughout The Whole Language Catalog, a powerhouse of a book that lives up to its educational principles. There are entries from all types of participants in the educational process, including classroom teachers, administrators, parents, and children.
Features include parent perspectives on working to improve education; children’s “marvelous inventions” as they work with oral and written language; teacher reflections on changes in their thinking and classroom practice; stories of adults becoming literate; articles about early leaders in the progressive education movement; descriptions of successful classroom demonstrations; profiles of exceptional teachers; and fundamental concepts of whole language.
Good education equips one with tools that work in present and future contexts for the individual and society. The Whole Language Catalog provides tools for that purpose.
