2021, Specialist in Education, Miami University, School Psychology.
The role of the school has been in a state of change since its creation. The Whole Child approach turns the focus of schools from academic achievement as the only marker of student success towards multiple long-term holistic facets. Ohio's teachers are not trained to provide all facets of the Whole Child approach, despite Ohio's commitment to a Whole Child strategic plan for education. Additionally, teacher attrition and turnover rates are increasing. This study evaluated the preparedness of one Ohio university's teacher education program graduates (n = 461) to deliver the facets of the Whole Child approach in relation to their intent to stay in their current job placements. Participants indicated that they felt more prepared to provide academic content and support, and felt less prepared to deliver more non-traditional facets such as trauma-informed practices. Results of the study did not indicate a significant relationship between the respondents' Whole Child preparedness and their intention to stay in their current job placements. However, the study highlighted areas for future research, such as teacher burnout and self-efficacy in relation to Whole Child preparedness, administrative support as an indicator of turnover, and the outcomes of the long-term implementation of Whole Child education.
