Whole Language Movement: From Teacher to Teacher

This program provides teachers, administrators, parents, and university students with a clear and informative introduction to Whole Language—an innovative teaching movement that is generating much enthusiasm in the educational community. The program goes into the classroom to see Whole Language in action and speaks to teachers who employ Whole Language methods, and to students who are benefiting from them, to find out what this approach to teaching and learning offers that others do not. Viewers learn how Whole Language serves the needs of educators and administrators, as well as students, and gain an appreciation of both the philosophy and the techniques of this rapidly spreading approach to teaching.
