Helping schools optimise student performance and wellbeing

All schools and educational systems have two main objectives, to improve student performance and to optimise student wellbeing. In order to achieve these objectives, we spend billions of dollars trying to improve the quality of three things: teaching, school leadership and centralised systems of support.

Yet despite this enormous investment, student performance has stagnated and the social and emotional wellbeing of our children is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Why? Because in our quest for improvement, we are overlooking the most important element of all: students.

While teachers, leaders and systems influence student performance & wellbeing, they do not determine it.

Students determine their performance & wellbeing.


In order to optimise student performance and wellbeing, schools need a solution that:
  1. empowers students with the awareness, autonomy and self/social mastery they require to improve their performance and wellbeing
  2. assists educators to better understand and better support the unique needs of their students


By harnessing and fusing the power of self-reflection, coaching, learning and technology, this is precisely what Scintillate's solutions have been designed to do.
Solution #1

Self-reflective coaching tools: easy, effective & scientifically proven

High quality self-reflection holds the key to improving student performance & wellbeing. It helps students to make sense of their world. It assists them to challenge and broaden their perspective and to see other points of view. It enables them to recognise the impact of their actions. It assists them to identify strengths to leverage, limitations to overcome and to spot opportunities for growth. High quality self-reflection empowers students to take ownership of their lives. 


Sounds great right? That's because it is! But there's a problem... high quality self-reflection is H.A.R.D! It's a higher order skill that is rarely taught and challenging to practice, resulting in frustration and reluctance to engage. Traditional self-reflection is also overly focused on problems, creating anxiety and despondence and overly focused on the past, making self-reflection feel forced and inauthentic.

Thankfully, a solution to high quality self-reflection has been found.

By fusing coaching methodologies (such as frameworks, questioning techniques, a solution focus and positive psychology), with traditional self-reflection, Scintillate has developed a suite of self-reflective coaching tools that have been proven scientifically to be highly effective at improving student performance and wellbeing in just four simple steps.

Improving student performance & wellbeing in just four simple steps

Students complete a self-reflective coaching tool (5-15 min) which enhances their awareness, autonomy, motivation & positivity. Upon completion, they are emailed a log of their responses.

Students are encouraged to share their electronic response log with their teacher, promoting trust, transparency, communication & connectivity.
The teacher reads the student's responses (~5 minutes), enhancing their understanding & creating authentic opportunities for follow up conversations. 
Teachers have a follow up conversation with the student that is authentic, efficient & impactful, further enhancing performance, wellbeing & trust.

Online courses that generate self & social awareness, autonomy & mastery  

Regardless of your students' backgrounds, ambitions and abilities, there are three key attributes that will determine their happiness and success: their levels of self and social awareness, autonomy and mastery.

Awareness is our capacity to consciously tune into the thoughts, emotions and values of ourselves and others as well as the impact and influence of culture and systems,

Autonomy refers to our ability to make our own decisions and to take responsibility for our choices and actions as well as respecting the rights of others to do the same.

Mastery refers to our ability to regulate and action positive personal behaviours such as resilience, optimism, critical thinking, organisation and confidence as well as interpersonal actions such as communication, collaboration, leadership and building rapport. 

Scintillate is currently developing a range of online courses that will improve your students' self and social awareness, autonomy and mastery by leveraging five key ingredients.

Solution #3

Enhancing the sustainability and impact of whole school coaching initiatives 

Coaching is widely recognised as an essential tool for supporting teachers and staff to enhance their professional practice. These days, you’d be hard pressed to find a school or district that is not engaged in some sort of coaching. But if coaching is so effective, why are we struggling to see the impact?

Research tells us that for staff coaching programs to be effective, they must be personalised (meet individuals where they are at), easy (school staff are time poor) and agential (promoting ownership, agency and autonomy).

If any one of these attributes is missing, despite the enormous investment of time and money, your school’s staff coaching program is likely to fail.

Scintillate’s self-coaching tools present schools with an easy, effective and affordable solution with which to augment and enhance the sustainability and impact of existing coaching initiatives, saving time and money and creating a culture of coaching that will permeate throughout your school.
