Constructs That Improve Student Well-Being: Connectedness, Joy, and Mastery

More than a quarter of middle and upper school students report being dissatisfied with life. Dissatisfaction is correlated with many outcomes, such as student well-being, interpersonal relationships, physical health, and academic performance. How can your school raise student life satisfaction, and thereby improve overall student well-being?

In this episode, Dr. Bryan Smyth will discuss three constructs to improve each student’s outlook: connectedness, joy, and mastery. We’ll examine ways you can link these constructs to actions that will increase every student’s assessment of the level of connectedness, joy, and mastery they feel.
