2 What is Social-Emotional Learning? The term Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) emphasizes the importance of integrating skills reflected in three dimensions of behavior needed for success at school, home, and work.

Our mission is to help make evidencebased social and emotional learning (SEL) an integral part of education from preschool through high school. Through research, practice, and policy, CASEL collaborates to ensure all students become knowledgeable, responsible, caring and contributing members of society. This model has inspired the transformation and alignment of SEL curricula and programs around a consistent and practical conceptualization. Copyright Pearson Inc., and/or its affiliates.

Strategies for developing these additional skills are provided in the CIP 20 Non-Academic Indicator Requirement for ESSA The Non-Academic Indicator: CASEL is promoting the use of student social emotional learning as a measure to compare school performance. The Screening/Progress Monitoring Scales is ideally suited for such an application: A teacher can rate an entire classroom of students in less than 45 minutes, The rating forms can be used to benchmark performance and to monitor changes in performance over the course of the school year, and The SSIS SEL Teacher, Parent, and Student Forms, which offer norm-referenced scores also can be used for purposes of ESSA accountability. 21 Copyright Pearson Inc., and/or its affiliates.

10 Competencies Assessed by the SSIS SEL Screening/Progress Monitoring Scales Self-Awareness: Recognizing one s emotions and values, and being able to assess one s strengths and weaknesses Self-Management: Being able to handle one s emotions and behavior so that they do not interfere with social tasks Social Awareness: Demonstrating understanding and empathy for the feelings of others Relationship Skills: Establishing and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships in groups and dealing effectively with conflict Responsible Decision Making: Making ethical and constructive choices about one s personal and interpersonal behaviors Motivation to Learn: A state of arousal and activity directed toward learning and completing classroom activities Reading Skills: A process involving decoding symbols and words and comprehending text Mathematics Skills: A set of skills involving number operations, relationships, and mathematical 28 Administration Instructions for Teachers or Other Education Professionals 1. Obtain 3 to 4 weeks of classroom experience with students before completing this instrument to ensure a representative and reliable sampling of the students behavior. 2. Plan to take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to evaluate students (e.g., a class of up to 25 students) on all of the social-emotional and academically related scales. Although completion of all scales is recommended, it is acceptable to complete a subset of scales when an intervention program focuses only on the subset of skills. 3. Complete the evaluations for all students in one skill area before moving to the next skill area. 4. For each skill area, read the definition and the performance level descriptions. Then, select a performance level that best describes the current level of functioning of each student in your classroom. Keep in mind that a student can be at different performance levels across the eight skill areas. And, note that there is no need to have equal numbers of students across the five performance levels for a given skill area. 29 SSIS-SEL Screening/Progress Monitoring Scales: Rating Scale The Screening/Progress Monitoring tool employs a progressive 5 point performance rubric which is used for each of the 5 SEL and 3 Academic competencies. Levels 3 thru 5 represent degrees of proficiency, with level 2 as an emerging or at-risk skill level and at level 1 is the skill is limited. Level Description 5 The student has mastered the skill and does not require additional instruction 4 The student performs the skill consistently, but is likely to benefit from additional instruction 3 The student performs the skill proficiently though inconsistently and would benefit from additional instruction 2 The student is limited in their performance of the skill and needs additional instruction 1 The student rarely can perform the skill and needs intensive instruction 30 Copyright Pearson Inc., and/or its affiliates.
