Perspectives: More than ABCs: Strategies for Supporting the Whole Learner

This resource is provided by ACSA Partner4Purpose Edmentum. 

There is a persistent disconnect between the holistic set of skills and experiences that every student needs and the testing culture our current education system prioritizes. The science of learning and development tells us that learners of all ages need a variety of healthy, engaging learning experiences, experiences that are grounded in strong developmental relationships, safe environments, and that support the growth of a broad set of physical, social, cognitive, creative, and emotional skills.

In this webinar, we discuss:

• ​​ Evidence-based, high-quality whole-learner approaches supported by the science of learning and development
• ​​ Shifts in how we perceive the purpose and practice of education, and what constitutes quality learning
• ​ Ensuring that every student has access to experiences that challenge and nourish them as whole learners
