Introducing #WinAtSocial Insights: Capture, Analyze, and Nurture Student Well-being
We are thrilled to release The Social Institute’s latest offering to its innovative #WinAtSocial Curriculum. The new product, called #WinAtSocial Insights, delivers powerful, real-time insight into school culture and student experiences to help school communities make the best decisions for their students.
#WinAtSocial Insights captures data through student responses in #WinAtSocial Lessons and Surveys, then analyzes and shares that data with educators through an easy-to-understand dashboard, with actionable steps to further support students. Educators can use the insights to identify the most significant challenges within their community, inform school policy and communications, and enable high-impact teaching and a healthy learning environment.
“The better you understand your students, the better you can empower them to achieve health, happiness, and future success,” said Laura Tierney, Founder, and CEO of The Social Institute. “These real-time insights will help educators make the best decisions for their school communities and provide students with modern life skills.”
#WinAtSocial Insights will provide student metrics into:
- Real-time data on how students are feeling/have felt over the last 30 days, and in comparison to the school as a whole and to students across the nation
- Whether certain student feelings are trending upward or downward
- When throughout the year students feel most stressed or most drained (broken down by month)
- Which social media apps are trending at the school level and by various grade levels
- Device ownership at the school level and by grade level
- Students’ attitudes about specific topics that can impact school culture
- How students are navigating certain social experiences — and based on their answers, suggestions for lessons that educators should prioritize
“The fact that we’ll now have this real-time student data at our fingertips is a game-changer,”
– Lynn Girolamo, Instructional Technology Teacher, Greece Central School District
“The fact that we’ll now have this real-time student data at our fingertips is a game-changer,” said Girolamo. “In the past, we had to compile the data, put it in a usable format, and then disseminate it to all the important stakeholders. By the time we did that, the data was already outdated. I love that the dashboard automatically updates students’ responses and then goes an extra step by suggesting lessons based on what our students need at that time.”
In talking with students and educators, Tierney and her team learned that students often feel there isn’t a constructive way to inform teachers and administrators how they are feeling, both individually and collectively. #WinAtSocial Insights allows students to share their perspectives anonymously, and then it’s aggregated so that educators can see trends and compare the data by grade or even to other schools across the nation, with actionable recommendations educators can take to improve student well-being.
Key Features of #WinAtSocial Insights include:
- Real-time data capture and analysis, any time of year
- Ability to leverage an array of filters to view insights by gender, month, and more
- Easy-to-use dashboards with actionable recommendations
