AASA to Focus on Educating the Total Child

The American Association of School Administrators has announced that it believes it’s time to get back to the basics of supporting the total child - from physical and mental health to the development of fundamental, lifelong learning skills.

Through the association’s Educating the Total Child advocacy campaign, AASA members have committed to creating the conditions necessary for all students to become successful, lifelong learners. The campaign is designed to address three factors that determine children’s academic achievement:

  • the impact of poverty on students,
  • the lack of universal early childhood education, and
  • the need for organizations to work with public education to coordinate the delivery of health and child development services.
