REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Students today face a number of mental and emotional stressors both inside and outside of the classroom. While research has shown that student well-being is one of several critical conditions for learning that impact academic performance, most classrooms lack effective, research-backed tools to help educators understand the development of well-being in their students, in support of their academic success.

Key Points: 
  • This research is just one element of Project Flourish — a CZI supported effort to develop measurement tools that help K-12 schools and families better understand and support their students.
  • To date, through Project Flourish these tools have reached more than 3,500 students and helped educators better understand the academic and emotional needs of students across seven schools in New York City and Los Angeles.
  • These grants are part of CZI's Research to Practice portfolio which aims to support the implementation of promising research-backed tools in schools.
