There are 574 Native American tribes in the United states.
A “one-size-fits-all” approach to transforming the learning systems that serve these students will not work. The Whole Child Approach emphasizes partnerships with education policymakers, Whole Child organizations, and local institutions to coordinate and streamline learning services and opportunities for Native students. In this way, we can build the learning systems specifically designed to meet the needs of the students.
a NEED FOR A PARADIGM SHIFT TO IMPLEMENT WHOLE LEARNING SYSTEMS.
Building on the work of compassionate visionaries who recognize the impact of adverse childhood experiences, the Whole Child Approach combines Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies with data-driven decision-making. Fundamental to this initiative is a direct partnership with tribes, parents and local leaders to identify and implement appropriate strategies for each community’s unique conditions.
