Create a baseline profile of the social and emotional skills of the youth you serve and what it looks like when these youth are demonstrating SEL in your program.
Who should participate?
To conduct youth ratings, we recommend qualifications that include being an experienced youth work professional with an MA level certification in an education or social work related discipline, or other professional staff under the supervision of such an individual.
How long will it take?
To complete all 51 items, it requires approximately 5-10 minutes of staff time per form. We recommend beginning with items for only two of the six domains, so time per complete should be much shorter.
What should I expect?
Data on youth behavior must be collected under conditions that assure protection of the youth. Use of this measure should include a data collection plan that is approved and monitored by a qualified evaluator or data collection manager.
