The Whole Child - Embracing a Global Vision

How can schools be a key player in forming a better and more peaceful world for future generations? One possibility is for educators everywhere not only to work toward higher achievement but also to pursue approaches that help students grow personally as well as academically.
Here’s your opportunity to explore how educators are embracing a global vision for addressing the needs of the whole child.

Learn and Explore with a Global Community of Educators
Spend two days exploring school practices and programs that ensure all students are healthy, knowledgeable, motivated, and engaged.
Leading researchers on learning, education experts, school improvement consultants, and practitioners from all levels will be on hand to open your eyes and your mind to the many ways to educate the whole child.

How to Plan Your Learning Experience
Attend all General Sessions to get the big picture on how schools support the health and well-being of children. Then register in advance for Morning and Afternoon Breakout Sessions that take you deeper into the programs and practices that support a broad-based view of teaching and learning. Each session description in this preview includes a knowledge level so you can determine in advance whether the presentation will be right for you.
