"We must develop students' tools to manage stress, attitudes and learning behaviours to cope with the academic curriculum every year, especially in secondary school", Dr Michael Bernard.

Dr Michael Bernard collaborated with Stephen Lunn, reporter and social Policy Editor at The Australian, to highlight the recent data from 300,000+ primary and 180,000+ secondary students who completed the Survey of Student Wellbeing that Michael wrote. The survey is published and administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).

Some of the findings that stand out:
• Levels of stress and anxiety continue to grow, beginning before COVID and continuing today, reaching epidemic levels.
• Girls report much higher levels than boys.
• Every year, beginning with Year 7 of Secondary School, levels increase: upwards of 70% of students report they could be doing better in their schoolwork (under-achieve).
• Despite high levels of negative wellbeing, positive elements are also present, with over 90% of students reporting they are happy and like who they are (WHEW!!).
• Data also reflects that many students' social-emotional and learning strengths are not sufficiently developed to manage unrelenting stressors in their world from social media, peers, parents, schoolwork, post-COVID loneliness, and global issues.
• The crucial year to begin yearly dedication to social-emotional learning is no later than Years 4/5, and definitely at Year 7 and every year upwards!

EXCITING DEVELOPMENT FOR 2023! - Brain-based Social-Emotional Learning - Why it's important. https://mailchi.mp/youcandoiteducation/edm-meb-oct-2022

Does everyone at your school need to contribute or can critical mass be built by a few SELophiles? The evidence here is clear.
Every day, everyone needs to play a part. With what I call “collectivity,” a critical mass will be built that will result in a steep increase in the developmental SEL trajectory of all students. So, don’t dodge this initiative, it is too important.
