The Theme for this conference is Educating the Whole Child. Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities. For the success of all learners:
The ASCD position adopted in December 2001
Successful learners are not only knowledgeable and productive but also emotionally and physically, healthy, motivated, civically engaged, prepared for work and economic self-sufficiency and ready for the world beyond their own borders.
Because emotional and physical health are critical to the development of the whole child, ASCD believes that health should be fully embedded into the educational environment for all students.
Conference date
The Curaçao-ASCD in collaboration with the different partners will organize in the first week of November 2009 an International Conference.
