Teaching Everything at Once: Holistic Education for 21st-Century Citizens

It seems that teachers have to do it all—be content experts, brain-based instructional designers, deliverers of SEL & E&I practices, ed-tech whizzes, and globally-engaged leaders. While the need to be all these things may be real, actually achieving this seems downright impossible. But there is a way.

This professional learning course asks teachers to take curricula they already teach and design learning experiences that "light up" several core intellectual and relational competencies at once: communicating well, perspective taking, collaborating, connecting learning with the wider world, creative and critical thinking, and self-knowing. As a result of this professional learning, classroom teachers should see that the teaching of subject matter may be taught as intellectual and relational skills are being developed in students. Designing for holistic competency education requires pedagogical methods that can deliver 21st-century skills and provide deep disciplinary learning.
