Whole Child Essentials Series
The Whole Child Essentials aims to improve Oakland County districts’ capacity to positively impact children’s overall well-being: Physical, social, and emotional health. This set of research-supported practices should focus on professional development for all school staff throughout the county.
To meet the needs of all learners, organizational practices must support youth development in ways that systematically impact well-being throughout schools. The recommended school-wide practices should occur in all Michigan PreK-12 learning environments.
Oakland Schools offers the Whole Child Essentials sessions to ensure districts access to these foundational components that are proven to support the whole child.
