Please join us on April 17th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to hear from State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson as he shares priorities from his Blueprint for Great Schools and his vision for a California education system that educates the whole child.
Superintendent Torlakson believes students learn best when they are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. The “whole child” approach to education encompasses methods, strategies, and services that enable schools to support this comprehensive approach to learning and development. Torlakson’s Blueprint for Great Schools contains recommendations including; more robust parent engagement and student learning supports, increased summer enrichment and literacy activities, creating 21st Century learning environment that better embrace education technology and the arts, as well as his Team California for Healthy Kids, which is focused on advancing learning and academic achievement by improving the physical health of our students to ensure they are healthy and ready to learn.
For funders that realize the importance of addressing the needs of the whole child – the cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and cultural aspects of each child’s growth and development – this is an opportunity to learn about the priorities of our State Superintendent and how funders can support initiatives in his Blueprint for Great Schools that will advance our shared goals.
