Domain description

Within the library of instruments, EdInstruments catalogues Student Well-being assessments for users to compare options for use in research and practice. Included in this category are measurement tools representing several subcategories: including Social-Emotional Competence, Mental Health, and Physical Health. The full spectrum of Student Well-being measurement tools will also eventually include Civic Health instruments. 

The Framework

Each of EdInstruments’ four categories contain several “layers” that help to organize the collection of measurement tools housed within each category. The first layer users can explore are the subcategories. An initial period of background research is conducted to understand the landscape of a category, in order to determine which subcategories are essential to include. The next layer within each subcategory are “domains.” Each subcategory has its own respective domains that serve as an additional level of organization within the collection of measurement tools. As users navigate through the instrument list(s), they can narrow and/or expand search parameters using these layers of organization; thus, allowing the personalization of their search for tools based on specified needs. 

Within the Student Well-being category, Social-Emotional Competence, Mental Health, and Physical Health serve as subcategories, while more granular domains (e.g. self awareness within the Social-Emotional competence subcategory, acute health within the Physical Health subcategory and risky behaviors.)

  • The Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales-Second Edition (PKBS-2) is a behavior rating scale designed for use with children ages 3 through 6 years. This unique behavior rating scale is easy to use, very practical, and based on a solid foundation of research. With 76 items on two separate scales, it provides an integrated and functional appraisal of the social skills and problem behaviors of young children. The scales can be completed by a variety of behavioral informants, such as parents, teachers, and other caregivers.
  • The Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is a screening instrument that measures developmental performance in young children aged 1 month-5.5 years. Early childhood educators and healthcare professionals use ASQ to collect information from parents on children‘s development in five domains: communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem solving, and personal-social skills. ASQ-3 offers 21 parent/caregiver questionnaires that are used depending on the child's age.

  • The purpose of the CACS is to extract the racialized experiences of youth of color in school to highlight opportunities to mitigate issues of racial bias and discrimination. In previous work the CACS has been used to identify strategies to improve student well-being, belonging, and engagement.  Six constructs are currently used to assess school climate through the CACS, including awareness of student interests, teacher expectations, racial identity and discrimination, multicultural navigation, selective vulnerability, and promotion of social justice.  Awareness of student interests measures youth of color's perspectives on their teacher's awareness and nurturance of their interests, both academic and non-academic.  Teacher expectations measures students' perspectives on how teachers expect them to perform and the support teachers provide related to those expectations.  Racial identity/discrimination measures students’ perspectives on whether the classroom environment is culturally affirming and whether they experience subtle or overt forms of racism and discrimination.  Multicultural navigation measures students' perspectives of learning about other non-White cultures. Selective trust measures students’ perspectives on whether they trust their classroom teachers and whether there are other adults in their schools who they trust.  Promotion of social justice measures students' perspectives of teachers' openness about inequalities and injustice and efforts to promote equity and fairness as it relates to marginalized identities (e.g., race, socioeconomic status).
