Abstract	To learn more about how parents understand the whole child approach to education, ASCD commissioned KRC Research to conduct a study that included parent focus groups in Richmond, Virginia; and Columbus, Ohio, as well as a survey of 800 parents across the United States to identify their perceptions of what a whole child education is, how it is currently implemented in schools, and what barriers stand in the way of its implementation. It probably does not surprise anyone that participants generally agree that each child, in each school, in each community must be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. However, as educators seek these same goals, they need to emphasize that supporting the whole child is a shared responsibility. Perhaps most interesting among the survey results were the translations of educator language into more family-friendly terms. As educators engage parents in conversations about supporting the whole child, they may need to do less talking and more listening to make sure that they are speaking the same language. (ERIC).
