Education domain. Changes, additions, or subtractions in Metric listed by indicator with justification of reasons for change. There are no changes to the Indicators from original HWBI.
| Indicator | Original Metric | New Metric | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Participation and Involvement | Adult Literacy | Reading on grade level | Literacy is a sliding scale for youth. Being on target at a certain age will account for this. |
| Participation and Involvement | High school completion | High school drop-out rate | Adjustment made to accommodate post-secondary attainment in adults. Dropping out would be equivalent to high school diploma among adults. |
| Participation and Involvement | Post-secondary attainment | High school completion | Age restricts post-secondary attainment. High school marks top academic achievement in this age range. |
| Participation and Involvement | Late graduation | Added to capture children who struggle academically, but still complete school. | |
| Social, emotional, and developmental aspects | Bullying | Face-to-face bullying | This is same as original, except split into two different forms to account for varied social interactions. |
| Social, emotional, and developmental aspects | Electronic bullying | Specific to online community. The other half of the bullying metric. | |
| Social, emotional, and developmental aspects | Social relationships and well-being | Flourishing | This is the same general concept retained, except called by different name. Looks at health of social relationships. |
