This collection brings together respected whole language leaders—classroom teachers, theorists, researchers, and teacher educators—to provide a comprehensive view of whole language. Editors Flurkey and Meyer group the essays, originally presented at the second annual Whole Language Umbrella Conference, under the three related themes of identity, responsibility, and practice. The many voices of the contributors will help those new to whole language to explore critical issues, while also addressing the professional needs of experienced educators.
