Student Leadership Measurement Library
The WBI from Turnaround for Children provides a holistic view of each student’s sense of their well-being and, through its use, facilitates an assets-based approach to building both universal and integrated supports for individual students. This brief self-assessment includes multiple aspects of well-being (physical, social, emotional, cognitive and psychological) to promote an equitable and comprehensive approach to support. This zip file contains two versions of the WBI (a shorter version for grades 3-5 and a more robust one for grades 6-12) and templates for scoring.
