Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

The process through which children acquire skills to understand and manage emotions, set goals, show empathy, and maintain relationships.

SEL covers skills like emotion recognition, self-regulation, empathy, and relationship-building. In K–5 programs, SEL measurement helps educators understand classroom climate and target supports.

Our puppet-based approach enables developmentally appropriate self-report (PRO) from young children who might struggle with traditional surveys. Domains can be assessed via BPI/CHAT-E items or pictorial Likert for older students.
