Whole Schooling:

The Journey Towards Schools Where Diverse Students Learn Together Well

We are the two authors, Michael Peterson and Mishael Hittie, professor and teacher, father and daughter. Together in this book, we explore how we can create classrooms and schools where all children are welcomed, where students with a wide range of abilities and characteristics successfully and enjoyably learn well together.

We hope you enjoy this challenging trek and find it valuable. We are very interested in your feedback and input regarding this book and its supporting materials. Feel free to contact us via the email links above.
