SEL Assessment (Elementary)

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the development of knowledge, attitudes and skills for self-control, empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving which are skills that are foundational to academic success.

Elementary staff utilize an assessment tool, SAEBRS®, to measure their students’ acquisition of social-emotional skills. SAEBRS® is aligned to the Washington State Adopted SEL Standards, Benchmarks, and Indicators. The  data gained from SAEBRS® is used to identify the most appropriate instructional and classroom supports. Use of SAEBRS® may also show patterns among larger groups of students and inform planning for school-wide support along with the classroom practices and instruction.

SAEBRS® encompasses both student self-assessment and teacher assessment, providing a holistic view of students' social, academic, and emotional behaviors, as they align to SEL standards.   Students in 2nd-5th grade complete the mySAEBRS self-assessment. The mySAEBRS self-assessment is a 20-item rating scale that students self-report their well-being in the areas of Social Behavior, Academic Behavior, and Emotional Behavior.
