Educating the whole child means to acknowledge AND address non-academic factors that impact academic outcomes while expanding learning opportunities. Stemming from the state’s stakeholder engagement process under the Every Student Succeeds Act, the Georgia Department of Education has created a Whole Child Framework—a system of supports to help districts and schools understand federal programs, access guidance on taking a whole child approach to education, and implement a community school strategy. The framework supports statewide efforts to ensure students are (1) healthy, (2) safe, (3) engaged, (4) supported, and (5) challenged. Under each of these categories, the framework includes subcategories covering a variety of topics requiring coordination across agencies, including mental health, nutrition, school climate, student safety, fine arts, social studies and civics, after-school programs, and early childhood.
