World
Commissioned by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum
Development (ASCD), a new paper by Harold "Bud" Hodgkinson is designed

knowledgeable, emotionally and physically healthy, civically engaged,
prepared for economic self sufficiency, and ready for the world beyond
formal schooling. . . . .

are motivated by a strong desire to help children. . . . .
