What do we know about well-being?

The UK Department for Education's Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre has published a new review of evidence on well-being and learning. Their starting point was that, although previous literature suggests a link, less is known about how multiple dimensions of well-being (emotional, behavioral, social, school) predict later educational outcomes. The authors conducted a review of relevant literature, as well as used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children(ALSPAC). Key findings included:
  • Children with higher levels of emotional, behavioral, social, and school well-being, on average, have higher levels of academic achievement and are more engaged in school;
  • As children move through the school system, emotional and behavioral well-being become more important in explaining school engagement, while demographic and other characteristics become less important; and
  • Relationships between emotional, behavioral, social, and school well-being and later educational outcomes are generally similar for children and adolescents, regardless of their gender and parents' educational level.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
