The Core beliefs and Ecosystem of the Learner听

At the foundation of the framework, the left-hand side is underpinned by core beliefs that help to ground the Whole Child Education Framework in Catholic and Ignatian inspired values. Additionally, the right-hand side of the framework acknowledges the diverse environments and circles of social support that contribute to a child's development, denoted as the "ecosystem of the learner."听

Spiritual Domain

The spiritual domain of whole child education involves exploring questions of meaning, purpose, values, and beliefs. It recognizes that individuals have a spiritual dimension that goes beyond religious affiliations and encompasses their search for identity, ethics, and connections to something greater than themselves. Spiritual development fosters self-reflection, moral reasoning, and the development of personal values, contributing to a sense of purpose, meaning, and a holistic worldview.听听

Cognitive Domain

The cognitive domain of whole child education refers to the development of intellectual abilities, thinking skills, and knowledge acquisition. It involves critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and the acquisition of academic knowledge in various subjects. Cognitive development promotes curiosity, intellectual exploration, and the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply knowledge to real-world situations.听

Emotional Domain

The emotional domain of whole child education refers to the development of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. It involves recognizing and managing one鈥檚 own emotions, understanding the emotions of others, and developing skills for building healthy relationships. Emotional development fosters empathy, resilience, self-regulation, and the ability to navigate and express emotions in a healthy and constructive manner.听

Social Domain

The social domain of whole child education focuses on the development of social skills, interpersonal relationships, and a sense of social responsibility. It involves communication skills, collaboration, empathy, cultural competence, and understanding social dynamics. Social development promotes positive relationships, cooperation, respect for diversity, and the ability to contribute to the well-being of communities and society.听

Physical Domain

The physical domain of whole child education focuses on the development of physical health, well-being, and motor skills. It encompasses aspects such as nutrition, exercise, body awareness, and the development of fine and gross motor skills. Physical development promotes overall health, coordination, physical fitness, and the understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

The Whole Child Convening at Boston College yielded a series of "checklists" derived from the examination of essential elements. While acknowledging the comprehensiveness of these essential elements in delineating how schools can facilitate student development within a specific domain, it is also acknowledged that their use may vary based on context听 such as the school's culture, the demographic composition of its student body, and the age range of the learners. Schools are strongly urged to approach these checklists from an asset-based perspective. The periodic utilization of these checklists, at a minimum on an annual basis, is advocated to not only discern areas of strength within the school and classrooms but also to inform strategic plans that holistically address the developmental domains. The emphasis is on leveraging identified strengths as a foundational platform for comprehensive advancement across all domains.听
