Teaching the whole聽person聽鈥撀爀ncompassing mind,聽body,聽heart,聽and聽spirit 鈥撀燼ddresses聽these competing pressures by聽affirming聽students鈥櫬燼nd instructors鈥� humanity.

According to聽Schoem,聽Modey聽and St. John (2017), supporting the whole student through teaching and learning provides a number of benefits by increasing 鈥渟tudent commitment to learning because students see themselves as part of an engaged, supportive and caring scholarly community鈥� (p. xii).
