The evolving societal landscape continues to drive rapid changes in the role and demands of education. Advances in technology, social media, and global connectedness have dramatically altered the skills we hold value, where factors such as wellness literacy, social-emotional competency, and post-graduation readiness have become increasingly critical benchmarks of school success.

Experts have long recognized the need to update the traditional curriculum and introduce health metrics, and yet, national indicators of school success still revolve solely around academic performance. As metrics often dictate the distribution and use of resources, this gap poses significant challenges for schools that aim to implement new improvements, and for the schools who have implemented new initiatives to track the success of their efforts.
