Schools Need Measurable Outcomes These Days

In education, there’s a common misconception that Self-Reg doesn’t have the measurable outcomes schools need, especially in a world focused on data-driven results. As Stuart & Susan share in the video below, while it’s true that traditional outcomes like test scores are easy to track, Self-Reg is a process—one that focuses on understanding and managing stress, which can be more difficult to quantify.

Instead of relying solely on traditional measures, educators can focus on the ongoing journey of improvement. Self-Reg is about the shifts in mindset and the small moments of growth and insight that lead to greater self-understanding, and this is something we can track through qualitative tools like self-reflection exercises and the process of constantly reviewing and adjusting strategies to better support children.

Check out the video below and our Self-Reg Toolkit to dive deeper into how measuring the process of Self-Reg—through reflection and co-regulation—can provide meaningful insights.
