Re: A View of 21st Century Learners
Of course, I left out a word on one of the slides. Sheesh
With all the noise, it seems incomprehensible that there's more to say, but ...
We *really* need to get a grip on who are the 21st Century Learners. It's not about the numbers. It's about the learning.

Healthy Learners
http://www.healthylearners.com
Healthy Learners, a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System, is dedicated to improving the health and well being of school children from economically disadvantaged families in an effort to improve their quality of life.
Healthy Learners is a school linked program that addresses focusing on the "whole health" of the child with the belief that physical, psychological and emotional well being are all a part of high academic achievement. South Carolina Superintendent of Education, Inez Tenenbaum affirmed this belief when she stated, "A study conducted found that there is a missing key in southern school districts; there is not enough focus on the "whole health" of a child when considering his or her academic performance." As we care for our community"s children, we must consider the "whole child" and how unmet health needs affect their academic performance and potential. Healthy Learners seeks to remove these health barriers to learning and to meet the health needs of South Carolina school children.
The purpose of Healthy Learners is, and always has been, to meet the health needs of children and youth who would otherwise not receive adequate access to health care services. These children are from families who have no means of funding for health care; they are uninsured or underinsured and do not have private pay capability.
Believing that children learn better when they are healthy, a group of committed community citizens led by Al Pollard established Healthy Learners, formerly Health Reach, in 1992 to help alleviate health related barriers to learning that face our community's economically disadvantaged children. Since its inception, more than 30,000 children have been touched by Healthy Learners' services. The program began by offering services to five Columbia inner city elementary schools but over the years, the Midlands program experienced tremendous growth. The dream of replication of the Healthy Learners model and statewide expansion of the program became reality in the fall of 2005 as 3 new programs opened in different regions of the state; one in Allendale (Lowcountry), one in Dillon (PeeDee) and one in Greenwood (Upstate). Currently the four Healthy Learners programs serve 109 schools in seven school districts across South Carolina.
Healthy Learners is dedicated to improving the overall health and well being of economically disadvantaged school children through education, prevention, and intervention services. Effective community partnerships allow Healthy Learners to respond to children in need while furthering the mission, ministry and purpose of the Sisters of Charity Health System.
