Measure and Understand Student Well-Being With a Research-Backed Instrument: Sometimes referred to as “youth positive development” or as “indicators of thriving,” student well-being is a predictor of outcomes including educational achievement, mental health, economic prosperity, and relationship success. By asking students to reflect on their well-being through surveys, schools and districts can gather actionable data to better support students socially and emotionally. Measuring well-being can contribute to a “whole child” educational approach, signal to students and their families the importance of mental health, help focus limited counseling resources on at-risk students, and inform a community-wide response to the trauma of student suicide.
In 2020 Communities for Just Schools Fund worked with national network of partners (youth, parent, and teacher-led organizing groups) to press back on harmful narratives about safety — and to instead place conversations about safety into the more holistic, appropriate container of culturally-affirming social-emotional learning (SEL). Through the year-long Community of Practice, they collected survey data from partners about their work related to safety and SEL. The findings from this year-long exploration of culturally-affirming SEL are detailed in this report.

Students need to be able to be themselves at school—and that’s where affinity groups come in. A group of students who share an identity are going to relate to each other in ways they can’t with peers who can’t or don’t understand their experience. It’s about safety and, in some cases, about fundamental issues of injustice.
