Summary

In this chapter, we suggest conceptualizing school thriving at different levels of analysis, including thriving of individuals in schools; and thriving of schools themselves as complex ecological systems embedded within communities and the larger society. Multilevel interventions are most effective, targeting different layers of the school ecology. By recognizing the interconnectedness of academic, emotional, and social well-being, schools can create an environment that promotes thriving and equips students with necessary life skills. Interventions to reduce teacher stress and improve satisfaction should target organizational social context factors in urban schools serving minority and low-income students.
