What is the whole-child approach?
When we focus on the person as a whole, including all facets of what makes them unique, students are more invested in school, more engaged in learning, happier, and ultimately more successful.
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire"
- W.B. Yeats
Understanding the Whole Child Approach and its components
People are multi-faceted. Instead of focusing solely on a child's disability or challenges, we look at their strengths and interests as a way of motivating and guiding them towards their college, career, and extracurricular goals.
People are not defined by their disability. Focusing on the negative without celebrating the positive will not lead to desired outcomes.
We include students in the conversation and decision-making as they should have input regarding their goals and motivators. Let's create a supportive and inclusive learning environment, together.
