Holistic Education Guide for Teachers and Parents
Are you looking for a practical and impactful Holistic Education Guide to support learning both at home and in the classroom? This free downloadable resource by Dr. Farida Sheikh is designed for educators and parents who are committed to nurturing children’s growth through reflection, inclusivity, and consistent collaboration.
Why This Guide Matters
In today’s evolving educational landscape, the importance of holistic development is becoming more widely recognised. A well-rounded child is not only academically capable, but also emotionally resilient and socially aware. The Holistic Education Guide is built on the foundation of the Tricycle Model, which aligns three key developmental areas: cognitive (thinking), affective (feeling), and psychomotor (doing).
This guide recognises that successful education is a shared responsibility. Teachers bring structured learning into the classroom, while parents reinforce values and skills at home. When both groups work together using a unified framework, children thrive.
What sets this guide apart is its practicality. It isn’t filled with theory alone — it’s filled with actionable steps and real-life applications, making it ideal for busy educators and parents alike. Whether you’re navigating a traditional school system or exploring alternative learning paths, this guide adapts to your environment and needs.
What's Inside
An overview of holistic learning principles
Real-life examples connecting theory to practice
Practical activities and templates you can implement immediately
Guidance on reflective practice for ongoing improvement
Clear strategies to engage both parents and educators in a shared mission with the Holistic Education Guide
Who Should Use This Guide?
This guide is ideal for:
Teachers looking to adopt inclusive, child-centred strategies
Parents who want to support their child’s development beyond school hours
Education leaders interested in implementing the Tricycle Model
How to Use It
The guide is structured to be flexible, allowing you to use it in ways that suit your setting. As a teacher, you might implement the reflective activities at the end of each school week, encouraging students to think critically and emotionally about what they’ve learned. As a parent, you might use the included templates to track your child’s learning interests and emotional development at home.
You can also use it in collaborative meetings between teachers and parents — as a tool to guide discussions, align expectations, and build mutual understanding. It supports inclusive practices by offering strategies that work across cultures, ages, and abilities.
This Holistic Education Guide is also ideal for CPD workshops, PTA presentations, and educator mentoring programs. It’s your go-to manual for embedding holistic education into daily life, both at school and at home.
