Cultural Adaptation of a Social and Emotional Assessment for Spanish Speaking Students

• In Event: Social Emotional Learning

Abstract

Best practice suggests that we not just translate but adapt assessments into other languages, ensuring cultural appropriateness and validity. We present our approach to creating cultural adaptations of a social and emotional assessment and share results of applying this process to the Spanish language version of the student self-report assessment.
