How do you know your SEL strategies are making a meaningful impact? In evidence-based implementation, measures guide implementation because, “You get what you measure, so measure what matters.” Six Seconds complete assessment systems provide meaningful data with fully-developed tools across the age span (our youth assessment is not a “cut down” adult tool, and there is a consistent model in both). How does it work? See this in-depth case study from the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.

Education Vital Signs
Effective SEL implementation shapes the climate, or context, for learning. Belonging psychological safety are key ingredients that support or inhibit educational success. To make these intangible drivers visible, Education Vital Signs (EVS) is a normed, validated and customizable school climate assessment. Ages: All
Six Seconds also published OVS, Organization Vital Signs, for measuring workplace climate – which may be more suitable for large institutions or agencies. Ages: Adult
