There is more to wellbeing than monitoring attendance, behaviour, and periodic surveys, we all know that. We also know that wellbeing is becoming more and more important, that is why we see wellbeing as a focus of every education system around the world. So, how do we track and monitor the impact of our wellbeing programs without losing teaching and learning time? How do we empower teachers with the real-time information they need to support students? How do we engage in an authentic continuous improvement cycle for ensuring our students are known, valued, and cared for?
Did you know that within School Bytes you can access Life Skills GO? Where you can monitor student readiness to learn, empower student voice through emotion check-ins and generate insights and automated reports to support data informed strategic decisions around learning support, resourcing, and funding. You can also access evidence based, trauma informed, curriculum aligned resources and lessons to build emotional literacy and self regulation in your students.
Join us in this Webinar that will highlight how schools are successfully using the features and functions available to you in School Bytes. Discover the value of check-in data, automated reporting, metrics and insights for teachers, administration staff, and executive teams in supporting and measuring wellbeing.
Now more than ever, it is imperative for educators to harness technology to gather, interpret and apply wellbeing data across their school setting. However, for many, this entails dealing with numerous separate systems and fragmented data. Ironically, this not only adds to their workload but also falls short in providing a comprehensive perspective on a student, class, or entire school. Having this comprehensive wellbeing view is crucial for implementing sustainable wellbeing practices, backed by data that schools can trust and rely on.
Learn how these tools can reduce teacher workloads and save time by providing valuable insights for regulating emotions, measuring learner readiness, and supporting decision-making at all levels within your school.
In this webinar, our panelists will discuss how the new School Bytes and Life Skills GO integration provides a solution to the wellbeing data needs of schools.
· How the combined roll call and Emotion Check-in reduces teacher workload, reduces disruption in the classroom, and provides real-time, rich and meaningful wellbeing data that is all student led, provides context to learner profiles and identifies in real-time the state of readiness to learn as well as identifies students in need.
· How you can now access real-time wellbeing reporting, data, metrics, and insights for your school, providing teachers, administration staff, and leadership teams the tools they need in a way that supports teaching and learning and to be able to see the whole child.
· The real world impact of the above on students, teachers and executives from educators who have piloted the integration and assisted in its development.
