But we don\u2019t stop there. We also dig into the ripple effects: learning outcomes, absenteeism, teacher wellbeing, and even the long-term benefits that may not show up immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because we want to understand WOOF\u2019s impact from every angle \u2014 short-term, long-term, and for everyone involved. Documenting this makes it easier for schools, districts, and partners to collaborate with us, and to feel confident about the change we can achieve together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know many in education see the clear link between wellbeing and learning. But not every system is set up to act on wellbeing data alone \u2014 some need to see academic metrics like test scores or attendance. We want to meet them there, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why we work with independent experts to measure and understand WOOF\u2019s broader impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In June, <\/span><b>Valuing Impact<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> estimated WOOF\u2019s 2024 social impact at <\/span><b>$30M USD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We work with the <\/span><b>University of Chicago<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on a quasi-experimental study comparing schools using WOOF regularly to those that don\u2019t \u2014 observing key indicators like academic scores, attendance, and behavior metrics alongside how students report a sense of belonging.

This partnership not only strengthens the education of new students, but also connects professors with schools, creating opportunities for hands-on studies that benefit both the academic community and the schools themselves. By linking theory, research, and real-world classrooms, we ensure that WOOF stays grounded in evidence while continuously innovating.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These partnerships bring fresh perspectives, credibility, and valuable input for developing WOOF further.
