Create an environment of well-being for learners in your school.
Well-being
is a powerful word. It doesn’t merely denote an absence of distress or dysfunction, but also the presence of optimal functioning at all levels - cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social. A significant part of an individual’s formative years are spent in school, learning skills and knowledge that prepare the individual for a future life of higher education, work and relationships. A student’s well-being in school comes from access to a superior learning infrastructure, guidance to a career path in later schooling and all-along support that removes barriers to academic success, such as cognitive, emotional or behavioral difficulties.
What impacts well-being of school children? In India Nearly 10% of children are estimated to struggle with dyslexia
7% children between the ages of 12 to 17 have ADHD
15.8% of school and college students report suicidal ideation
Prevalence of childhood anxiety disorders is 9%
Prevalence of mood disorders in young people is 3%
Disruptive behavior disorders are seen in 5% of children
How do you create well-being in your school? General and special classroom teachers, school counselors and other school staff play an important role in identifying and addressing well-being issues in learners, due to the extent of contact they have with students. If unaddressed, learning difficulties can lead to emotional, behavioral or social issues, besides the more obvious impact on academic performance of the student. Conversely, emotional, behavioral or social issues can impact learning. As students approach high school, they need to know what career paths to follow, to avoid making inappropriate subject choices that may lead to academic failures. Your school staff needs to be equipped with the right knowledge and tools that create more well-being for your learners. In the absence of timely and appropriate support, issues of well-being not only impact the individual student but also the classroom environment and eventually, the entire school.
