Whole Child Initiative

ASCD's Whole Child approach is an effort to transition 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.

Building a Math-Positive Culture: How to Support Great Math Teaching in Your School relates to engaged, supported, and challenged tenets.

Whole Child Tenets

HEALTHY: Each student enters school healthy and learns about and practices a healthy lifestyle.

SAFE: Each student learns in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for students and adults.

ENGAGED: Each student is actively engaged in learning and is connected to the school and broader community.

SUPPORTED: Each student has access to personalized learning and is supported by qualified, caring adults.

CHALLENGED: Each student is challenged academically and prepared for success in college or further study and for employment and participation in a global environment.
