SEL Assessment (Secondary)

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

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

mySAEBRS® encompasses a student self-assessment, providing a holistic view of students' social, academic, and emotional behaviors, as they align to SEL standards.   Secondary students complete the mySAEBRS self-assessment. The mySAEBRS® self-assessment is a 20-item rating scale that students self-report their well-being in Social Behavior, Academic Behavior, and Emotional Behavior. The mySAEBRS student assessment is quick to administer.

At the elementary level, the screener includes both a student self-assessment and a teacher rating, providing multiple perspectives on student needs. In contrast, at the secondary level, where students have multiple teachers, a teacher rating would be less effective, so the screener relies solely on student self-assessment for a more individualized evaluation.

It takes approximately five minutes for students to complete. The results from the assessment are utilized to ensure student needs are being met.
