MySEL is an experience in which educators assess their skills in supporting children’s social and emotional learning through an iOS App. This tool, based on the Pyramid Model, was designed to help educators better understand all the different components that make up social and emotional learning and assess the fidelity of the use of these skills in their practice. When educators participate in the App as part of a classroom team, aggregate data of that classroom can be compiled. In addition to the self-assessments, an SEL Classroom Inventory is used to check for evidence and alignment of educators self-assessments. MySEL advisors will analyze both sets of data and provide summaries and targeted recommendations. The SEL umbrella is a large one, MySEL provides effective information to make data-driven decisions on where educators need support to improve their SEL supports of young children. The overarching goal here is to prevent challenging behaviors in the classroom and to help educators be better equipped with effective strategies when challenges do arise.

• Two age group options (Toddler and Preschool)
• Information Icons ⓘ that provide examples for most of the skills
• Ease of use (users can come and go from the app and data is saved)
• A PD certificate is provided upon completion that can be printed out or emailed.
• Available in English and Spanish

MySEL includes two types of reports.

Individual Self-Assessment Reports - Educators receive a copy of their reports via email. Although educators can always see and change their selections in the app, a report is often more desirable for looking at the results in a big picture. See a sample report

Aggregate Classroom Reports - Directors can conduct a MySEL Classroom Inventory and have classrooms complete the self-assessment. When complete, they obtain aggregate reports for each classroom. (A minimum of three participants are required per classroom.) See a sample report
