The ASCD Whole Child approach is an effort to transition from a focus on narrowly defined academic achievement to one that promotes the long-term development and success of all children. Through this approach, ASCD supports educators, families, community members, and policymakers as they move from a vision about educating the whole child to sustainable, collaborative actions.
The Formative Five: Fostering Grit, Empathy, and Other Success Skills Every Student Needs relates to all five Whole Child tenets.
HEALTHY: Each student enters school healthy and learns about and practices a healthy lifestyle
SAFE: Each student learns in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for students and adults.
ENGAGED: Each student is actively engaged in learning and is connected to the school and broader community
SUPPORTED: Each student has access to personalized learning and is supported by qualified, caring adults.
CHALLENGED: Each student is challenged academically and prepared for success in college or further study and for employment and participation in a global environment.
