The Science of Learning and Development

Whole-Child Education is grounded in the “emerging and growing body of knowledge illuminating how young people best learn and develop,” called the Science of Learning and Development (SoLD).

 

The Center for Whole-Child Education (formerly Turnaround for Children) has been a member of the SoLD Alliance since its inception, working to advance key shifts in research, practice, and policy to transform education and youth development systems. Learn more about the SoLD Alliance on their website.
