As we emerge from this Pandemic, with all that we’ve learned and the impact on young people, it is crucial to spread the message of hope and inspiration. We now have an opportunity to rethink and shift the way we are supporting and educating young people - by implementing Whole Child / Whole Community education.
JPR is in the business of preparing, advising, and supporting educators in the design, implementation, and leadership of educational systems that are focused on educating and developing the Whole Child.
Through a network of partners, our work focuses on preparing the next generation of education leaders to help advance Whole Child approaches by giving them the skills, knowledge, framework, tools, strategies, mindsets, and a peer learning network that enables them to create the conditions for children to thrive.

Excited to be welcoming our students back to New Rochelle High School. Go Huguenots!!!!
“This is honors English,” she told my daughter, “you go figure it out.” My daughter isn’t in college, she’s a sophomore in a public high school and had gone to her teacher for some extra help on an assignment. When I first heard this I was furious. Really, “you go figure it out?” And then I thought, this must be the culture that’s been intentionally set at her school. Competition, high pressure, only the strong survive?
First, think summer learning, not summer school. While summer school is an old strategy that didn’t lead to different outcomes for kids, summer learning, with its skill-building and fun engaging opportunities — is what all our children need and deserve.
Great teachers help their students believe in themselves by first showing that they believe in them. They help their students discover their interests and passions. They do this by giving love.
Whole Child Education begins by placing children in the center and asking an important question — what does he or she need to thrive?
If we are serious about using this public health crisis as an opportunity to transform how we educate, develop, and nurture children, let’s start by supporting those running our schools.
