Developing a measure to assess racial equity-oriented social and emotional learning practices

Despite the growing interest in social and emotional learning (SEL) implementation in K-12 settings, few measures exist to assess teachers’ SEL practices. Furthermore, existing measures of teachers’ SEL practices do little to explicitly address issues of equity. In this talk, we describe the interactive mixed-method approach we took in developing the Racial Equity-oriented Social and Emotional Learning (REQSEL) practices measure, a valid and reliable means of assessing teachers’ racial equity-oriented SEL practices on a large scale.
