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.
