Book Description
Wheels Summary Affectionately called Wheels because hes in a wheelchair, the main character is in his final year of high school and should be graduating, but his marks leave that in doubt. He avoids unpleasant things but that makes problems worse. Wheels attracts equally apathetic friends. His outgoing personality (and the fact that he soon turns the legal age to buy smokes and liquor for them) make him popular. He realizes that he will probably be back next year, but he doesnt care. A teacher lectures him about his unfinished assignments, wasted year, and ability to do better. Wheels becomes so angry that he decides to get even by making the class hell for her. That results in frequent visits to the principals office and Wheels becoming even more angry. The sudden death of a friend shakes him up. He realizes life is too short to waste it in school another year. He and a friend decide on a final effort to do a project that could get them a pass to graduate. They want to pimp out Wheelss electric wheelchair and finally do convince their teacher to let them try it. They enthusiastically fit the chair with custom lights, wheels, etc. The wheelchair is stolen, and though recovered, it is stripped. They are upset but turn that anger into fixing the chair and hoping to graduate. The final scene is graduation as the graduates are introduced. Have Wheels and his friend made it?

The Wheels in Mrs. Hildebrand’s Class These first graders love school. They love their teacher, Mrs. Hildebrand. What will they do when a former classmate shows up newly injured and in a wheelchair? In a scenario like this, emotions are hard to handle, but the way the teacher guides her class and the wonderful ways the kids participate bring a different view of what goes on. The ideas they come up with to support their classmate’s adjustment and growth in his new situation are healing for everyone involved. The culmination, in a celebration of diversity and possibilities, makes their school year unforgettable for the characters in the story and the readers.

Book Description
The principles portrayed in "Learning Wheels" are not new. The ideas and concepts are not breakthrough thinking, as most of us have seen these practices applied at some level throughout our experience. Reading this book serves only to create a clearer vision of an approach and create a new attitude regarding diversity of experience, education and opinion. The next logical step is to foster these attitudes within your organization as a new behavioral norm. This can be achieved through specific seminars and change management initiatives designed to introduce and sell "Learning Wheels" concepts to any learning organization. If your meetings are not gaining effective agreement. If your team is having problems defining the correct problem before solutions. If the diversity in your group is acting as a barrier to progress rather than functioning as an asset; then consider using "Learning Wheels" as a tool to refocus your team.
