Publisher's Summary
This is an audiobook version of the paperback title published by Corwin Press.
The pandemic deepened the disparities and risks today's kids face as they weather a rapidly changing world, full of volatility and unprecedented challenges. Mental health concerns are on the rise and the avalanche of crises have left educators, students, and families feeling overloaded and overwhelmed. Educators are taking a new or renewed interest in resiliency, social emotional learning, whole child approaches, health, and wellness. There is a huge appetite and growing interest in the field to understand what we can do, immediately and practically, to make sure young people are not just surviving and showing up but thriving and learning—now and in the future. The author offers listeners the information, guidance, and concrete strategies they need to support the well-being and well-becoming of all kids.
In Whole Child, Whole Life Learning, the author draws from personal experiences as a mother, educator, social worker, and field leader. In each chapter she braids these personal experiences with stories from the field and the translation of cross-disciplinary research. Listeners meet colleagues of Krauss who are working to launch the "thriving youth" field and experts in the science of learning and adolescence, including leaders on the frontlines of social emotional learning, character education, culturally responsive education, youth organizing, healing-centered education, and positive youth development.
