Thriving Students & Educators
Promoting organizational wellbeing and student success
How do we help all schools thrive?
Fig Education evaluates how well a school or youth-serving organization fosters student and staff success.
Grounded in motivation theory, we help organizations identify how policies, programs, and strategies - inside and outside the classroom - support student and staff wellbeing and school success. We tailor our model to your community so it captures the needs of your students and staff.

What is unique about
Fig’s student and staff surveys?
Surveys that capture school climate can guide continuous improvement in schools, but they do not always measure what research identifies as best supporting student learning and teacher success.
​
​Our proprietary student and staff surveys are not your typical school climate surveys! We use motivation theory to understand student and staff perception of how well the organizational climate meets learning and wellbeing needs. When a person perceives that their psychological needs are met, they experience wellbeing, engagement, and success. Perception surveys are the best way to gather this type of information.
Why it's important to consider whole-school well-being
The foundation of good physical and mental health, wellbeing is associated with school engagement and academic and professional success.
