Accomplish Strategic Learning Objectives

The Ohio Mission

With a whole-child approach to education, Ohio’s Each Child, Our Future strategic plan is designed to help Ohio educators “challenge, prepare and empower” learners on their way to bright futures. But as any educator knows, post-secondary preparedness does not happen in an academic vacuum. 

Each Child, Our Future is built around Ohio’s Whole Child Framework, in which students’ academic, social-emotional, health, and safety needs are scaffolded by their school, district, family, and communities. The Ohio Department of Education encourages schools and districts to prioritize Career & Technical Education (CTE) programming that helps students meet and transcend academic standards—a goal that’s shared by SmartLab Learning.
