Past Award Recipients | Program Information
Vision in Action: The ASCD Whole Child Award is designed to recognize schools that have gone beyond a vision for educating the whole child to actions that result in learners who are knowledgeable, emotionally and physically healthy, civically active, artistically engaged, prepared for economic self-sufficiency, and ready for the world beyond formal schooling. This award acknowledges those schools that have changed the conversation about education from a focus on narrowly defined academic achievement to one that promotes the development of the whole child: a child who is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
From 2019 ASCD will be ending the Vision in Action Award as we launch the new Whole Child Network (WCN). This new network takes what has been learned from our outstanding Vision in Action Award winners (2010–18), our Whole Child Pilot Study (PDF) (2012–15), and our implementation and advocacy work on a Whole Child approach to education since 2007 and transform that into a global network of schools working toward the same Whole Child mission. The WCN will be actively taking the Whole Child vision and putting it into action on a global scale. Stay tuned for more information.
Hamilton Elementary School was announced as the 2018 Vision in Action: The Whole Child Award recipient at ASCD Empower18 in Boston, Massachusetts. Hamilton Elementary School's motto, "Hawk Heroes, Help Themselves and Others to Learn," demonstrates the core of the school's heart and encapsulates why the school was selected as the 2018 Vision in Action: The ASCD Whole Child Award.
