Well-Being Index

Introducing the Well-Being Index

To help educators assess student well-being directly, quickly, and frequently, both in-person and virtually, Turnaround for Children has developed a free new tool: The Well-Being Index. This tool can minimize making assumptions about students and instead support students to understand and look after their own well-being.

What’s Included:

• Well-Being Index: Secondary: A self-assessment tool for educators teaching grades 6-12 to administer with their students. For in-person learning, educators can administer the self-assessment physically with printed forms. To facilitate virtual administration, this form can also be shared as a fillable PDF. 
• Well-Being Index: Elementary: A self-assessment tool for educators teaching grades 3-5 to administer with their students. For in-person learning, educators can administer the self-assessment physically with printed forms. To facilitate virtual administration, this form can also be shared as a fillable PDF. 
• Educator Guide: The educator guide introduces teachers to the purpose and use of the Well-Being Index and provides detailed instructions on how to review and reflect on the data and next steps to consider upon data reflection. 
• Scoring Supports: This supplementary tool can be used after administration of the Well-Being Index to organize and visualize the data. Scores can be viewed by student and collectively as a class to help educators build both universal and integrated, targeted supports.
