Welcome to the International Journal of Whole Schooling!
The Journal is an international, refereed publication dedicated to exploring ways to improve learning and schooling for all children. Articles in the Journal will focus on analysis, use, research and practice related to the Six Principles of Whole Schooling listed in the graphic on the right. See the website of the Whole Schooling Consortium for information.
The Journal aims to provide a place for many voices concerned with education and learning -- researchers, parents, teachers, students, community members, policy makers. The Journal will include a range of types of articles -- scholarly research, experiences of teachers, parents, and students, commentary, policy analysis and more. We have made a commitment for a Journal based on both rigorous standards of quality and providing editorial support to people with important messages but limited experience in writing.
Please contact us if you have feedback or questions about submissions. We also are interested in individuals who may wish to serve on the Editorial Review Board to review articles for publication. Please contact us about this as well.
Journal staff: Tim Loreman, Editor;Donna McGhie-Richmond and Billie Jo Clausen, Co-editors; Richard Laszlo, Assistant Editor; and Michael Peterson, Managing Editor, Whole Schooling Press (of which the Journal is a part).
