When all lanes of a highway are open and free of construction, traffic flows smoothly, allowing travelers to reach their destination efficiently. But if one lane is closed or too much attention is focused on just one lane, traffic builds up, causing delays—or even accidents. The same holds true for whole-person education. Neglecting or hyper-focusing on any one area can cause bottlenecks in progress, just as it would on a busy road.
In this episode of Change Starts Here: Research Conversations, Dr. Jennifer Chevalier, Director of Funding at FranklinCovey Education, and Kim Yaris, M.Ed., Associate Director of Research at FranklinCovey Education, dive into the importance of whole-person education. They discuss the side effects of hyper-focusing and the benefits that come when districts prioritize the whole-person approach for students, faculty, and families. Dr. Chevalier and Kim also share personal stories of how this shift has impacted them and explore ways we can refocus on whole-person education. Don’t miss this insightful episode.
