It is, instead, a mindset that should inform the entire educational enterprise.* Dear NYC Educator, Support for the whole child is how learning happens. At Benchmark Education, a whole-child mindset underpins all that we do. We apply research-based approaches that strive to build equity, access, and excellence for each child. We hope to inspire and nurture enthusiastic readers and critical thinkers—aware that learning is not only cognitive, but also cultural, social, and emotional. In the materials we create, we aim to cultivate these skills, with a steady goal of success for every student. Our precisely leveled books support access to on-grade-level text, skills, and concepts to accelerate ongoing achievement. In these, and our exciting new trade book collections, we offer literature that is authentic and culturally conscious—creating connections with children from diverse communities. Both our informational and literary texts present multiple perspectives, making learning more appropriate and more effective. And we’ve developed new tools to enhance your ability to teach responsively, tapping the power of differentiating in the moment to meet each student’s needs. We remain dedicated to supporting you with quality resources as you prepare all your young learners for a fulfilling future. It’s a privilege to partner with you.
