Whole Child Approach to Education

Since 2015, CZI has made grants to translate education research into classroom practices. Our funding has catalyzed new tools, practices and measures designed to foster whole child outcomes. We’ve also leveraged research to design technology that helps teachers connect with students and tailor learning experiences to individual student needs.
