On this month’s Whole Child Podcast: Changing the Conversation About Education, we’ll learn how schools and communities can partner together to meet the needs of the whole child. We know that children grow physically, socially, emotionally, ethically, expressively, and intellectually within networks of families, schools, neighborhoods, communities, and our larger society. And we know schools alone can’t meet the needs of each child. So why not bring everyone to the table?
Download the Whole Child Podcast today to hear from Jane Quinn, assistant executive director for community schools at the Children’s Aid Society (CAS), who will share the work of the society’s 21 community schools in New York City and how the school and community partnerships have produced results for students, families, and the community. Eileen Santiago, principal of Thomas Edison Elementary School in Port Chester, N.Y., will share how partnering to address students’ overall social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs has resulted in improved learning for thousands of Thomas Edison students.
After listening to this month’s Whole Child Podcast, tell us the successes and struggles of your school and community partnerships. How have these partnerships helped your community meet the needs of the whole child?
