Wellness Tracker & Protocol

In the first year I created the Wellness Tracker and Protocol as a way for teachers to assess the well-being of each of their students every month. I saw the success of the program at other schools and with help of a very special colleague, Rachel C., I was able to bring the program to HTeX.  Using a rubric, teachers score students in four categories - Social, Emotional, Academic and Physical. Oftentimes, the most vocal, most challenging students are the students that we, as educators are paying the most attention to throughout our day.  Those are the students we see and hear.  The wellness protocol ensures that we are also attending to the needs of our students we do not often hear from.  Additionally, academic and social-emotional related interventions can be put in place earlier when we are seeing each and every child. .
