Student Well-Being

Student Well-Being (SWB), sometimes referred to as Social and emotional learning (SEL), is an integral part of education and human development. SWB is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

SWB advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SWB can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.

Decades of research studies demonstrate the following benefits of SWB

  • Improvement in students’ social and emotional skills, attitudes, relationships, academic performance, and perceptions of classroom and school climate.
  • Decline in students’ anxiety, behavior problems, and substance use.
  • Long-term improvements in students’ skills, attitudes, prosocial behavior, and academic performance

Leader In Me:

The Leader In Me is an evidence-based, K-12 whole-school whole-child Leadership model. The Leader In Me unites students, staff, and families around the common goal to prepare students with college, career, and life-readiness skills that are necessary to thrive in today’s ever-changing, fast paced environment, such as: critical thinking, creativity, self-discipline, initiative, relationship building, goal achievement, public speaking and cognitive flexibility.

Leader in Me utilizes and integrates leadership and educational models from past and current thought leaders. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a key component of the overall Leader in Me process and is a synthesis of universal, timeless principles of personal, interpersonal, and organizational effectiveness, such as responsibility, vision, integrity, teamwork, collaboration and balance. The 7 Habits are taught directly to students and modeled by staff to create a culture of improvement and leadership.

From the classroom to the boardroom in a Leader In Me District you will notice three things:

  • A District Focus On Teaching & Modeling Leadership and Life Skills. Leader In Me Schools teach and model the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. When schools nurture student leadership competencies that improve personal and interpersonal effectiveness, students are empowered to lead others and themselves to become the next generation of change makers and problem solvers.
  • A High-Trust Culture Where Every Student Feels Safe, Cared For, and Connected. In a Leader in Me school, every detail, from wall decorations to classroom activities, echoes the value and potential of both students and staff. By fostering a culture of respect and belonging, we enhance relationships and results for everyone involved—from administrators and staff to students and families.
  • Accelerated Academic Outcomes Through Goal Setting And Accountability. Using a unified approach to goal setting can transform students’ trajectories, taking them from falling short of academic standards to meeting or even surpassing their academic aspirations. Leader In Me Schools use the 4DX goal setting model to help schools accelerate academic achievement.
