SEL Assessment Tool
Measure, track, and support social-emotional learning growth across your classes
The Social-Emotional Learning Assessment is a research-informed tool that measures student growth across five core competencies defined by the CASEL framework. It provides teachers with actionable data to understand where each student is thriving and where they may need additional support.
The assessment is designed to be administered three times per year -- at the start (baseline), middle (progress), and end (impact) -- creating a longitudinal picture of each student's emotional development.
