Abstract

Based on discussions with 10 education organizations working with a variety of whole child development (WCD) approaches across the globe, this article explores what such holistic approaches to building foundational skills mean for measuring student outcomes, including
at young ages, and what other indicators are necessary to support education systems that foster the thriving of children with different needs across different contexts.
