The Whole Child approach and the coordinated school health (CSH) approach both address the physical and emotional needs of students. However, a unified approach acceptable to both the health and education communities is needed to assure that students are healthy and ready to learn.
During spring 2013, the ASCD (formerly known as the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened experts from the field of education and health to discuss lessons learned from implementation of the CSH and Whole Child approaches and to explore the development of a new model that would incorporate the knowledge gained through implementation to date.
As a result of multiple discussions and review, the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) approach was developed. The WSCC approach builds upon the traditional CSH model and ASCD's Whole Child approach to learning and promotes greater alignment between health and educational outcomes.
By focusing on children and youth as students, addressing critical education and health outcomes, organizing collaborative actions and initiatives that support students, and strongly engaging community resources, the WSCC approach offers important opportunities that will improve educational attainment and healthy development for students.
全儿童方法和协调学校健康(CSH)方法都涉及学生的身体和情感需求。然而,需要一种健康和教育界都能接受的统一方法,以确保学生健康并做好学习准备。
2013年春季,美国课程开发与监督协会(ASCD,前身为监督与课程发展协会)和美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)召集了教育和健康领域的专家,讨论从实施CSH方法和全儿童方法中吸取的经验教训,并探索开发一种新模型,该模型将整合迄今为止通过实施所获得的知识。
经过多次讨论和审查,开发出了全学校、全社区、全儿童(WSCC)方法。WSCC方法以传统的CSH模式和ASCD的全儿童学习方法为基础,促进健康与教育成果之间的更大一致性。
通过将儿童和青少年视为学生,关注关键的教育和健康成果,组织支持学生的协作行动和倡议,并大力利用社区资源,WSCC方法提供了重要机遇,将提高学生的教育成就和健康发展水平。
