Whole-Child Supports for California Districts
In partnership with the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, Turnaround for Children is supporting school districts across California in understanding and implementing Whole-Child Design grounded in principles of science and equity.
Whole-Child Design Series 22-23
This series of four workshops describes the science of learning and development and its application to school district strategies, structures and practices. Through highly interactive virtual sessions, the series guides participants in exploring the core practices within the Whole-Child Design Blueprint’s three components: Developmental Relationships; Supportive Environments; and Knowledge, Skill and Mindset Building. Participants are invited to apply the science principles and core practice to their districts’ context and to interrogate the connection between the science, the practice and the equitable learning environments they strive to deliver.

Other Turnaround/CCEE Services
The Whole-Child Improvement Network
In the Whole-Child Improvement Network, district and school leaders use their knowledge of whole-child design to address problems of practice through cycles of continuous improvement. Participants collaborate to anchor in a shared vision for student and school success, define problems of practice grounded in their communities’ needs and input, learn from one another, and apply their learning to move their system or school closer to true whole-child education and integrated developmental practice. Blended throughout the sessions is an intentional focus on the strong Shared Leadership and Ownership practices that promote equity and fuel any continuous improvement effort.
