Whole Child Partners
ASCD is proud to join forces with leading education, health, arts, and civic organizations to further the Whole Child cause. The organizations below have signed on as partners to support a system of academic achievement and accountability that ensures:
- Each student enters school healthy and learns about and practices a healthy lifestyle.
- Each student learns in an intellectually challenging environment that is physically and emotionally safe for students and adults.
- Each student is actively engaged in learning and is connected to the school and broader community.
- Each student has access to personalized learning and is supported by qualified, caring adults.
- Each graduate is challenged by a well-balanced curriculum and is prepared for success in college or further study and for employment in a global environment.
