Measure Student Engagement and Then Improve It
The Wellington Initiative
Problem We Solve
Most schools measure outcomes. Few measure the day-to-day classroom experience driving them. Schools have plenty of results data, but far less visibility into what students experience in each class, every day. Standard metrics matter, yet they do not fully capture whether educational excellence is happening in classrooms, and leaders cannot be everywhere at once. Collecting student feedback provides important insight, but building and managing surveys in-house is often time-consuming and complex.
The Wellington Initiative addresses this gap by gathering structured feedback from every student, in every class, multiple times a year, without adding burden for students or staff. With thoughtfully designed tools, a student-friendly interface, and immediate dashboard access for teachers and administrators, schools gain a clear view of engagement that drives meaningful professional learning, stronger coaching, and sustained, personalized growth.
Our Solution
Three Tools, One Engagement Platform
The Wellington Engagement Platform combines a high-level engagement snapshot, a measure of student mattering, and in-depth course surveys to help schools measure student engagement across every classroom, identify patterns, focus coaching and professional learning, and strengthen teaching and learning.
The Wellington Engagement Index measures student engagement by asking students to indicate how challenged they feel and how much they enjoy their learning in each class. Administered up to 6 times a year in less than two minutes per administration, the Engagement Index provides leaders and teachers with a clear, real-time view of love of learning and academic challenge across the school.
The Wellington Mattering Index measures the extent to which students feel connected to their class and believe they contribute meaningfully to it. By capturing students’ sense of connection and contribution, schools gain actionable insight into classroom culture and community.
Wellington Engagement Dimensions provides a comprehensive survey of teaching and learning across four areas: behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and instructional engagement. Through a thoughtfully designed student survey and interactive dashboards, Dimensions deepens Engagement Index and Mattering Index data and supports teacher growth, coaching conversations, and teacher evaluation and feedback programs.
How It Works
From Student Voice to Actionable Insights
Collect: Students log in to the Wellington Engagement Portal and complete their assigned surveys.
Analyze: Administrators review trends across classes, grade levels, and departments. Teachers examine patterns within and across their own classes.
Act: Leaders use the data to guide program decisions, coaching, and support. Teachers use the data to adjust instruction, refine curriculum, and respond to student needs.
