ASCD's Whole Child approach transitions from a focus on narrowly defined academic achievement to one that promotes the long-term development and success of all children.
Through this approach, ASCD supports educators, families, community members, and policymakers as they move from a vision about educating the whole child to sustainable, collaborative actions.
Change the conversation about education in your school and community. Move beyond a definition of success measured only by academic achievement. Examine how well your school is serving students through the whole child tenets.
