Measuring What Matters: Insights on the Value of Whole Child Development

As part the ‘Measuring What Matters’ programme, Porticus has commissioned a policy analysis report to capture how cities and countries value, define, and measure Whole Child Development (WCD) - and equivalent - both broadly but also in the context of reaching those in extreme adversity.Developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), the report published in July 2020, provides insights into the challenges experienced in embedding WCD in education systems and offers evidence around the growing recognition and momentum globally around WCD and holistic learning.
