Understanding Student Pulse’s Wellbeing Dashboard

Student Pulse’s Wellbeing dashboard provides insights into the wellbeing of students in your assigned group based on their response to the Wellbeing question, “How are you feeling today?” and the follow up question, “Which of these best describes how you are feeling?” when they check in.

The Wellbeing dashboard has three parts: Overview, Trending Up and Trending Down, and All Students, which shows the wellbeing check-ins of students in your group over time.

Overview

Overview presents students’ response to the Wellbeing question, “How are you feeling today?”

Current view

The current overall score represents the overall response. The example on Image 1 shows that 8.9 out of 10 students responded either “I’m feeling great” or “I’m feeling positive”. The small number underneath indicates if the overall response is higher or lower than the previous time period. In the example, the school is up 0.4 points since the previous week.

The overall score is divided into the number of responses in each category over the current time period. In this example (Image 2), none of the students answered “I need some help,” while 40 students answered “I’m feeling positive” in the current week.

Selecting a response will show the students who chose this answer on the All Students section.

Pulse presents various response options depending on the student’s response, some of which are consistent across all responses.

To ensure questions are meaningful to students, Pulse presents them with options that are tailored to their age group (e.g. Primary, K-12). Learn more about setting up questions for age groups.
