Children’s Social-Emotional Development and Resiliencies: Translating Assessment Into Practice
Sat, April 14, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Grand Ballroom Level, North Grand Ballroom CSession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
We present two projects that developed surveys to assess children’s social-emotional development, risks, and resiliencies. The surveys were developed in collaboration with communities, schools, and after-school programs to inform local practices that foster children’s social-emotional development . The first tool, the Holistic Student Assessment is used to create resiliency profiles for individual students, and counselors, school and after-school staff use these profiles to engage students educationally according to their developmental strengths and needs. The second tool, the Middle Years Development Instrument, is used to collect representative population-level data on children’s social-emotional development and context factors, according to which schools and communities can plan and allocate resources and programs. This symposium discusses the development, reliabilities, and uses of both surveys.
