Book: Whole Child, Whole School
Posted by on December 10, 2012
Whole Child, Whole School, by Eileen Santiago, JoAnne Ferrara, and Jane Quinn, examines community schools working to educate the whole child. They look at the ways community schools are able to lessen the difficulties faced by students experiencing poverty and other obstacles to learning through the use of a case study. Santiago was the principal of Thomas A. Edison Elementary School in Port Chester, New York and oversaw its conversion to a full-service community school before retiring. Ferrara is the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Advising and Department Chair of Curriculum and Instruction at Manhattanville College and created its first professional development school in 2002. Quinn is the Vice President of Community Schools and Director of National Center for Community Schools at the Children’s Aid Society.
