As we've said many times across this blog and in ournewsletters and podcasts, we believe that a whole child approach to education is the only approach that prepares young people for long-term educational, civic, and work-life success. We believe that most educators know that to be true, but sometimes act in ways quite contrary to their beliefs. We believe a whole child approach is a relatively simple concept that is quite complex to put in place.
For those reasons and more, we invite you to participate in ASCD's third annual Whole Child Virtual Conference. Entitled "Moving from Implementation to Sustainability to Culture," sessions will offer educators around the globe leadership discussions and strategies to support their work to implement and sustain a whole child approach to education.
From Monday, May 6, through Friday, May 10, daily general sessions will be presented live between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., eastern time. There will also be two international pre-conference sessions held on Friday, May 3, 2013. The Australasian section will be held 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia time) with special presentations for audiences in the Australasian region. The European section will be held 2:00–4:00 p.m. (London, England time) with input from key European education experts.
The full agenda and registration information is available at www.ascd.org/wcvirtualconference.
