Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The SEL Strengths Builder Method is an extension of the evidence-based Assess-Plan-Improve continuous improvement sequence (YPQI). The Strengths Builder method includes three areas of assessment designed to focus OST staff on a program’s SEL strengths: 1. Assessing SEL Curriculum Design: Build a better understanding of your curriculum sequence in two parts – the youth-driven learning project at the heart of the offering (e.g., build a boat), and the parallel SEL content sequence that fosters SEL skill growth. 2. Assessing SEL Practices: Reflect on the intensity and quality of the responsive practices you implement to support youth in building their social and emotional skills. 3. Assessing Youth SEL Skills: Create a baseline profile of the social and emotional skills of the youth you serve and what it looks like when these youth are demonstrating SEL in your program.
