Adapted from "The Best Schools: How Human Development Research Should Inform Educational Practice" (ASCD, 2006), this material emphasizes that the best schools prioritize the true developmental needs of students over mere academic achievement. By understanding the stages of development from infancy to adulthood and integrating human development theory with educational practice, schools can focus on developing the whole human being. To guide this approach, the author propose structuring schools around four key developmental components, which are crucial at all ages but particularly significant at specific growth stages.
