JAVA ID SIDDIQI  \nPresident & CEO | The Hunt Institute  \n2  \nBackground  \nWith the COVID-19 pandemic changing the way students learn and interface with others, it is more important than ever that the U.S. education system meets the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. Even prior to the pandemic, there has been a stronger push for schools to teach more holistic, comprehensive curricula that account for students’ cognitive development and socialemotional learning. Now, two years into the pandemic, school closures have resulted in significant learning loss, social isolation, and poor mental health. A 2021 survey commissioned by The Hunt Institute found that six in ten parents (63 percent) said COVID-19 has been disruptive to their own children’s education and their mental health and emotional wellbeing. As the country continues to transition into a new normal, it is critical that schools and educators adopt a “whole child” approach to education, incorporating teaching methods that account for the ways that children grow and learn in their relationships, identity, emotional understanding, and overall wellbeing.  \nWhole child education helps students prepare for the challenges and opportunities of today and the future by addressing students’ comprehensive needs through the shared responsibility of students, families, schools, and communities. Recent research in neuroscience, developmental and learning sciences, education, sociology, and other fields confirms that a whole child approach to education is desirable for fostering all areas of children’s development and learning – including literacy, math, and science, as well as socialemotional and cognitive skills. Furthermore, integrating whole child education in schools has also seen support among voters. The same survey from The Hunt Institute found that nearly nine in ten likely voters (85 percent) think a whole child education is important for schools to provide. A teaching approach that acknowledges the full scope of a child’s development lays the foundation for lifelong learning, ensuring that children are well-equipped to be engaged learners.  \nWhole Child Tenets  \nTaking developmental and learning science into account, a whole child approach sets the standard for comprehensive, sustainable school improvement and provides for long-term student  \nsuccess. According to two comprehensive research reviews, the following foundational principals contribute to a child’s learning and development:  \nBrain development is shaped by consistent, supportive relationships; responsive communications; and modeling of productive behaviors. Brain capacity develops most fully when children feel emotionally and physically safe, and when they feel connected, engaged, and challenged.  \nLearning is social, emotional, and academic.  \nPositive relationships, including trust in the teacher, and positive emotions, such as interest and excitement, open the mind to learning. Negative emotions, such as fear of failure, anxiety, and self-doubt, reduce the capacity of the brain to process information and learn. Children can build skills and awareness to work with emotions in themselves and their relationships.  \nAdversity produces toxic stress that affects learning and behavior. Students may experience poverty, housing and food insecurity, bullying, abuse, or neglect.
