Delve into insightful discussions, thought-provoking interviews as we create a community of practice with cross industry experts, educators and school administrators. Our podcast appearances offer a unique opportunity to tap into big ideas, best practices and perspectives that address shared pain points and priorities in enabling every student to live to their fullest potential and your leadership journey to being an exemplar.
“Whole child” is a term often heard but rarely defined. In this episode of System Shift, we break down what whole child education truly means and how schools can move beyond surface-level understanding to create environments where every student thrives.
Using ASCD’s five pillars—healthy, safe, challenged, engaged, and supported—we explore how schools can shift from a deficit lens (“fix the student”) to a strengths-based, integrated approach that supports the whole learner.
