Background: LISA, Learning through Iterative Systems for social-emotional Achievement, is a novel, systematic, scientifically and technologically grounded approach to better train and equip all stakeholders in education so they can effectively support learning, well-being, and the mental health of students. LISA will provide knowledge and understanding of each child's needs and strengths, without stigma, as well as providing a common conceptual and practical foundation to facilitate collaboration among teachers, families, and other specialists for the benefit of students - in school and beyond. At the heart of LISA is the creation of interactive digital assessment tools and modular guides to provide teachers, families, and other stakeholders with the knowledge and resources necessary to effectively, efficiently, and successfully provide high quality educational experiences for all students.
