Creating the Joyful Writer

Creating the Joyful Writer: Introducing the Holistic Approach in the Classroom is aimed at educators who want to go beyond traditional approaches but don't know how. Schiller emphasizes physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and environmental elements (that is, the whole person) rather than just the intellect. She details background, historical development, and philosophical explanations for holistic education, including a timeline of key people and ideas. Teaching activities provide a context and exigency for writing and provide learners with the opportunity to use multiple intelligences.
