Understand how to collect, interpret, and use social-emotional learning data — including climate surveys, SEL assessments, behavioral data, and student self-reports — to inform whole-child teaching decisions without reducing students to scores.
What you'll walk away with
Collect and interprets social-emotional learning data (climate surveys, SEL assessments, behavioural patterns) to inform whole-child teaching
Distinguish between SEL data that supports student growth and SEL measurement that reduces students to scores
Design classroom-level SEL data practices (check-ins, self-reports, observation protocols) that respect student privacy and agency
Apply ethical guidelines to SEL data collection and use, including the limits of quantifying emotional development
How a Learning Series works
Work through the snacks — short, evidence-based lessons that build your understanding. Each one gives you research, a classroom connection, and one thing to try or discuss.
Test your understanding in a low-stakes mini-experiment before you bring it to your classroom. Leverage our downloadable materials to support you in your teaching and classroom practice and let us know how it goes!
For credit towards an Accingo Course certificate, try something from this series in your own classroom, then complete a short, structured reflection on what you learned and what you would bring to your PLC and/or regular practice. You will see "Application Artifact" if required.
