Student Well-being in Online Learning

Though there are exceptions, for most adolescents, full-time online learning during the Covid pandemic has been tough. It's not only been tough for learning, but also from the perspective of mental health and overall wellness. In this post, I have my students specifically in mind as I write. I want to outline a few scientific, research-based strategies for improving well-being. These are strategies that one can pick and choose from and implement pretty quickly and easily. Studies demonstrate that these strategies can provide a pretty immediate boost in one's sense of well-being, and, when put into regular practice, can provide long-term well-being benefits.
