As many districts move towards developing system-wide practices to support social-emotional learning and development, questions remain regarding how to assess and monitor students’ social-emotional competencies.
This webinar outlines best practices for selecting evidence-based social-emotional screeners and assessments. We also:
- Demonstrate how assessment data can be used to identify the needs of students and inform the intervention planning process;
- Spotlight the DESSA system, from Aperture Education, which provides districts and schools with a comprehensive SEL assessment tool;
- Share details on the research supporting the DESSA’s reliability and validity, as well as how the tool can be used to accurately identify students needing SEL support;
- Finally, we will demonstrate how SEL assessment data is stored and utilized on the Branching Minds platform.
