  • View this resource

This report describes the state of the field of student social and emotional competence assessment and envisions the conditions in which the field can continue to develop in ways that tangibly benefit teaching and learning.

This report was created by the SEL Assessment Work Group (AWG), a group of scholars, test developers, and educators focused on supporting high-quality social and emotional competence assessment. The AWG aims to bring conceptual clarity to the field, provide guidance to the field about what high-quality practical assessments are currently available, and stimulate further advances in the field of applied SEL assessment.
