Social and emotional learning (SEL) is crucial for improved educational attainment. As teachers help students achieve new college and career readiness standards, they need to use teaching practices that promote student social and emotional learning in the classroom. Our new resource, Self-Assessing Social and Emotional Instruction and Competencies: A Tool For Teachers, helps teachers reflect and assess how well their own teaching practices support SEL for students.

In the tool, teachers can self-assess on 10 teaching practices that support social and emotional learning for students. The self-assessment tool, however, goes beyond these 10 teaching practices. Teachers also need to strengthen their own social and emotional skills to implement the 10 teaching practices successfully.
