Schools across the country are spending time and resources on improving student well-being, but what about the educators? If educators are experiencing well-being, the students will see more success. But, how can we define educator well-being so we can measure it and pinpoint educator needs effectively?

In this episode, Dr. Nicole Alioto interviews Dr. Hallie Fox, Co-Founder and Head of Research at Educators Thriving to find out what well-being means for K12 staff and how their team has developed a way to measure well-being (and its multiple domains) so school districts can see the impact on culture and success they are looking for!

If you can DEFINE it, you can MEASURE it. If you can MEASURE it, you can ACHIEVE it!
