Pamela Cantor, Christina Theokas, Elizabeth Tijerina, Turnaround for Children; Linda Darling-Hammond, Laura E. Hernández, Abby Schachner, Sara Plasencia, Learning Policy Institute
This playbook is a collaborative product that provides the scientific foundation for the Guiding Principles for Equitable Whole Child Design:
- Positive Developmental Relationships
- Environments Filled With Safety and Belonging
- Rich Learning Experiences and Knowledge Development
- Development of Skills, Habits, and Mindsets
- Integrated Support Systems
The playbook then illustrates ways to apply these principles in schools. When these principles are integrated and applied to structures, systems, and practices, they promote authentic and rich opportunities for learning and development and the experiences and conditions where young people can discover who they are and who they can become.
