Tips for Supporting the Whole Child in a Tech-Heavy World
- The whole child framework must address academic, social, and physical safety through intentional systems.
- Technology can enhance whole child supports when educators choose tools purposefully rather than using tech for its own sake.
- Student voice is a key part of whole child work, and technology can help elevate voices of students who may not speak up in class.
- The rapid pace of AI development can feel overwhelming; educators benefit from a mindset shift toward growing with technology rather than “keeping up.”
