To be fully prepared for their futures, the nation's children need personalized support, safe environments, good health, and challenging learning opportunities. How well are we, as a nation, supporting the whole child?

ASCD's 50-state whole child snapshots begin to answer that question by featuring data that provide a more comprehensive picture of child performance and well-being.

Each snapshot also has initial ideas for how families, educators, and communities can make targeted and innovative improvements to support the whole child and help students become productive adults and engaged citizens. ASCD is developing the snapshots annually to feature the most recently available data and to permit year-over-year comparisons.
