This book identifies and emphasizes the need for a holistic
approach to school improvement when it comes to both the
development of the whole child and the relationships among student,
family, and community development. In recent years, the emphasis in
PK-12 education in the United States has been on the measurement of
student and school performance by high-stakes achievement tests.
This emphasis has resulted in a narrowed curriculum emphasizing
lower-level cognitive learning, with little attention paid to the
moral, social, and creative development of students, families, and
communities. This book argues that PK-12 education needs to shift
its focus to holistic qualities of the successful school, qualities
that reflect a moral rather than a technical approach to education
while also improving students’ academic performance.Â
