Explore Measurement Framework
A model called the Making Enabling Spaces Framework has been developed to provide tools that measure the quality of relationships within programs.
Making Enabling Spaces situates Respectful Relationships as the guiding value for young people's wellbeing and learning. By doing so, the framework emphasises young people's ability to form and sustain meaningful, respectful relationships as a key element of engagement in learning.
The organising principles of Connection, Capacity, and Meaning provide a framework for measuring the experiences of young people in educational programs.
Each of these concepts has its own page within the Enabling Spaces site. Here you will find further information and - where available - links to relevant literature.
The Making Enabling Spaces Framework is linked to actual practice in the sector through identified connections between the organising principles (Connection, Capacity and Meaning) and organisational Program Objectives, via a set of Shared Concepts. Further information on how to use and navigate the site is available via our Help page.
You can read more about the Making Enabling Spaces Framework on this page, and in Enabling Spaces for Learning, a position paper written by members of the project team. Some of the content of this page has been drawn from that paper.
