Healthy
Kids who lead healthy lifestyles have so many advantages. With more energy and improved mental alertness, they have a greater ability to focus, leading to improved comprehension, memory, and overall performance in school. Being healthy also encourages more positive behavior and better relationships with peers, teachers, and parents. When children lead a healthy lifestyle, they become healthier individuals both physically and mentally, and this ultimately sets them up for more success throughout their lives.
Safe
A safe and secure school environment is paramount to the success of students. A safe environment can help alleviate stress in students and give them the assurance of stability and a secure place to learn and grow. Safe schools ensure that students can concentrate on learning and express their individuality without feeling unsafe. These safe environments allow teachers to establish a better connection with students and create a learning space in which students are encouraged to speak out, voice their opinions, and grow with support.
Engaged
It’s essential for students to remain attentive and engaged in the classroom and with their peers if they want to reap the full benefits of their learning experience. Not only will they understand the subject material more deeply, but they will also learn how to interact with different types of people and come up with their own opinions. When students pay attention and actively participate in their learning process, they can open up a world of possibilities that they might have otherwise missed.
Supported
Support from teachers is invaluable for students of all ages. When a student feels supported by their teacher, it encourages them to be more confident and comfortable with their work and in their ability to learn. It builds trust, opens up opportunities for more meaningful discussion, and allows students to make mistakes without fear of reprimand. Teachers who actively support their students not only help them to excel academically but also foster the growth of a healthy and trusting relationship. With support, students can grow in their independence, create stronger learning foundations, and take ownership of their development.
Challenged
Students must be challenged academically to reach their full potential and achieve success in their future endeavors. Challenge encourages students to think creatively, explore their strengths and weaknesses, and work to their fullest capabilities. By challenging students academically, educators can also help students develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills, allowing them to take a proactive approach to difficult concepts. When students are challenged and have to work through difficult topics or tasks, they learn to develop determination, perseverance, and confidence which will stay with them for life.
