Seizing on a shift in policy momentum, advances in research, and growing public support for a well-rounded education, the Aspen Institute today announced the National Commission on Social, Emotional, and Academic Development. The Commission will advance a new vision for what constitutes success in schools: the full integration of social, emotional, and academic development to ensure every student is prepared to thrive in school and in life.
A whole child education prioritizes the full scope of a child’s developmental needs to advance equity and ensure that every child reaches their fullest potential.
Effective school design can support the whole child by providing high-quality academic learning, promoting strong interpersonal relationships, and offering authentic and culturally sustaining instruction.
Community schools are an evidence-based strategy to advance equity and reduce barriers to learning by providing the services needed to support student and family well-being.
Findings from the science of learning and development contain powerful lessons for improving education to help every student access opportunities and reach their full potential.
Curriculum, instruction, and assessment focused on deeper learning develop students’ abilities to think critically and solve complex problems, communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and learn independently.
LPI’s Center for School and System Redesign supports research, practice initiatives, and policy strategies that can transform educational systems to respond to the needs of young people for an equitable and empowering education in our rapidly changing world.
