How Skodel's wellbeing score is calculated for Schools

This article outlines the formula for Skodel's wellbeing score

Understanding Skodel's wellbeing score

Skodel's wellbeing score is calculated in the first question 'how are you feeling today?' and uses the below formula:

(Percentage of positive emotions) - (Percentage of negative emotions selected)

If a student selects 'happy' this would be considered positive, if a student selects 'sad', this would be considered negative. Anything above 0 indicates that more positive emotions are being selected that negative emotions and vice versa. Here are three examples:

Example 1

10 Check-Ins completed

3 positive moods selected (30%)
3 negative moods selected (30%)
4 neutral (40%)

The score would be 0 (30% - 30%)

Example 2 (more positivity than negativity)

10 Check-Ins completed

4 positive moods selected (40%)
3 negative moods selected (30%)
3 neutral (30%)

The score would be 10 (40% - 30%)

Example 3 (more negativity than positivity)

10 Check-Ins completed

3 positive moods selected (30%)
4 negative moods selected (40%)
3 neutral (30%)

The score would be -10 (30% - 40%)
