Book excerpt: This e-book, a collection of articles from Educational Leadership and other ASCD publications explores what it means to “support the whole child.” In these articles, authors ponder the various meanings of support in the classroom, school, and community.

Our authors agree: With the right supports, students are capable of doing more than even they think they can.
