FREE Webinar: Utilising Wellbeing data Evidence to Support Students Everyday

November 2023

There is an art and science to teaching, this is never more evident than in wellbeing programs. Every school has an approach to wellbeing, each one contextualised to meet the needs of their students. Student needs that ebb and flow, unlike literacy and numeracy, wellbeing doesn’t move smoothly along a progression of learning; instead, it is variable. This constant shift in student needs means that teachers and school leaders constantly adjust their strategies, respond to new circumstances, and manage resources to optimise every opportunity to ensure students are known, valued, and cared for.

Life Skills Group has been working in partnership with educators, communities, and families for over 15 years to meaningfully support student wellbeing. As part of our ongoing improvement journey, we are focused on evolving our offering so that teachers can spend more time teaching and leaders can spend more time leading. To this end, we have recently begun collaborating with Rydr Tracy, former Director, Strategic Priorities at CESE, to co-design new features and displays that will do the heavy lifting of data analysis and data collection for you and your team. These features are co-designed by educators from a variety of socio-economic settings, a range of geographies including regional, rural, and remote, and a variety of school types including small schools and SSPs.

Data is just data. Data becomes evidence when it helps answer a question or test a claim. The working groups challenged us throughout the process to design a way to surface relevant and reliable evidence to empower them to make informed, real-time decisions about wellbeing programs in their schools. This webinar focuses on these solutions and how schools are already utilising this evidence to improve student outcomes. Specifically in this webinar, we will focus on:

Enabling a whole school approach to supporting a ‘sense of belonging’
Demonstrating how to make informed decisions about resource allocation quickly and easily in real time.
Empowering student voice (relevant and reliable data collection with low effort and high yield).
Surfacing wellbeing insights about changes in school, class, stage, and individual student readiness to learn and emotional wellbeing.
Equipping teachers with the information they need about shifts, trends, and patterns in student emotions.
Practical advice on how to monitor and report on the impact of your current wellbeing programs.
Utilising technology to access easy to interpret and meaningful data about your students and school.
