EdTech Horizons: Jonathan Viner talks about one of the systems available to support wellbeing

The school librarian at The English College in Prague (and School Library Association member), Kayti Selbie, trialled and then expanded wellbeing resources for year 9 and 10, built upon the Persona Life Skills programme.
The school library's role in improving student wellbeing has never been more urgently needed. As well as developing a tailored library and study skills curriculum, which helps students become more effective and efficient learners, Kayti trialled an online wellbeing education programme for 50 students in Year 9 (UK equivalent). This has now been expanded to include all Year 9 and Year 10 students.
The wellbeing resources are built upon the Persona Life Skills programme. This offers a scaffolded, age-appropriate online social and emotional learning curriculum for Years 9-13/grades 8-12 (KS3, KS4, KS5). It seeks to support secondary student wellbeing and employability.
