Whole Student Education
Teaching to the Whole Student means moving beyond purely academic education and prioritizing emotional health, mental health, social health and well-being practices in the school's culture, curriculum, and mission of purpose.
The Need
Schools should be prioritizing processes and strategies focused on developing the health and well-being of its students.
Schools should focus on developing positive and constructive mindsets over trying to condition student behavior.
Students should learn how to develop positive relationships by developing prosocial mindsets and behaviors
Attention should be focused on increasing student engagement by identifying and developing their strengths and unique genius.
Schools should give focus to developing student resilience to stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma
Students should learn how to become self-managed, which will lead to an increase in agency, motivation, and responsibility.
