'There are clear signs that both educators and parents want a different approach. Certainly one of the most important is the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (
ASCD), an organization of 175,000 educators from around the world that has identified educating the whole child as its major priority. Its annual conference and three issues of its journal,
Educational Leadership, have focused on this issue. There is also a website,
www.wholechildeducation.org.'
