Definition & calculation
Numerator: Number of assessed learners showing improvement above the defined threshold on a validated psychosocial wellbeing / social-emotional learning measure between baseline and endline
Denominator: Total number of learners assessed at both baseline and endline (matched panel)
Apply a validated wellbeing/SEL instrument at baseline and endline to a matched group of learners and calculate the percentage showing improvement above the defined threshold.
Formula: (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100
Means of verification
Validated psychosocial/SEL assessment tool, teacher or caregiver observation scales
Interpretation
Direction: Higher is better
Typical reporting frequency: Baseline, midline and endline (or annual)
