After learning about the Unconditional Education model, the California State Superintendent of Instruction, Tom Torlakson, came to visit Learning Without Limits to gain a more in-depth understanding of the model. The UE model, with its emphasis on creating an inclusive culture and climate that benefits all students, is closely aligned with the California Department of Education’s Whole Child Community Schools Strategic Plan. This plan emphasizes the “multidimensional aspects of each child’s growth and development including cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and community influences,” and recommends that, to effectively meet these needs, “schools should collaborate with families, caretakers, and community agencies to deliver integrated services that promote improved access to health and learning supports, high expectations, and a positive school climate – all of which are necessary for students to thrive in the twenty-first century.”
We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to share our model with the California Department of Education and to discuss how it aligns with some of the State’s top priorities. We look forward to future collaboration as we work to transform the system and provide a more equitable education experience for our students and their families.
