When we can do more, then we should do more. That is why AASA and MASA support the Whole Child Petition—an effort to ask state boards of education to support policies and practices that ensure each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.

Sign the petition today and help your state reach its goal of 1,000 signatures.

Once the goal is reached, we will deliver the petition to your state board of education. Sign the petition today, and tell your state board of education a child is more than a grade on a test.

Given what we now know about learning and development, we can do better and we can do more. Current educational practice and policy focus overwhelmingly on academic achievement, but this is only one element of student learning and development. Tell your state board of education that they must do more to educate the whole child.

Once you've signed the petition, we ask that you please forward the petition to family and friends. If you send a message from the Whole Child website, you'll be able to see every signature you bring in.

We're on the record. How about you? Sign the Whole Child Petition today.
