Participants will take away a new and comprehensive understanding of what whole-child design is and what the science of learning and development tells us about learning and thriving. Participants will gain an understanding of Turnaround's framework for conceptualizing the core practices/components of whole-child design, the Whole-Child Design Blueprint, and our online measurement tool, the Whole-Child Design Inventory: School Version. Participants will learn how to use the Inventory and then will practice using it: they will reflect on their school environments, choose a challenge they identify in the survey's results, navigate to a complementary Toolbox and explore possibilities for taking action on implementing a whole-child design in their own schools. ) Participants will feel motivated to share the tool with others, and will feel equipped to bring the FREE tool back to their school, administer and reflect with their staff, and take the first steps toward whole-child design!
