Rapid Spread

In the spring of 2020, the rapid spread of COVID-19 caused schools in the U.S. to shift to online education. With the drastic change to online learning, the transition caused many issues that negatively impacted students' and educators' social and emotional learning (SEL) that helped ensure educational productivity. Social and emotional learning includes five competency areas: self-awareness, relationship skills, social awareness, self-management, and responsible decision making. Virtual learning has shifted the attention of educational institutions away from these competency areas due to the limitations of digital classrooms and the prioritization of academic intelligence over emotional intelligence. The chapter provides recommendations to address the social and emotional learning of educators.

Systems Of Support

Despite the need for assessments targeting social and emotional learning (SEL) skills within multitiered systems of support, there are few brief SEL measures available. To address this need, this article describes the development of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Brief Scales-Teacher Form (SSIS SEL b-T), a significantly shorter version of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Edition Rating Form-Teacher (SSIS SEL RF-T). Using the SSIS SEL standardization sample and item response theory, we identified efficient sets of items for each SSIS SEL RF-T scale and examined psychometric evidence for resulting scores. In general, SSIS SEL b-T scales functioned well and very similarly to scores from corresponding SSIS SEL RF-T scales. One exception was the Self-Awareness scale which, similar to its long-form counterpart, exhibited several content and psychometric limitations. Results provide initial psychometric evidence for a time-efficient teacher-informant measure of SEL competencies with promise for use within multitiered systems of support.
