Engaging the Whole Student — Small Choices Creating Big Impact

Over the course of this presentation, our expert panelists will provide research in psychology, counseling, and design to explain the fundamentals of why wellness in the educational environment is key to impacting and improving student engagement. Utilizing evidence-based approaches to create spaces that consider the well-being of all students can result in overwhelmingly positive effects on student grades, behavior, attendance, and student'sacademic and social-emotional learning. By challenging the physical environment to support all aspects of learning, thinking,and doing, students will be able to take control of their learning environment, improve their well-being and become more engaged.
