Assessing Seal
Two simple, quick and ready to use CD-ROM based tools to assess and profile individual pupils' knowledge, understanding and skills in the five social and emotional aspects of learning. The ‘Assessment, Profiling and Evaluation Tool’ addresses teacher/adult assessment; ‘Self-Assessment in SEAL’ provides all that you need for pupil self-assessment from the EYFS to Y6. Both are based on best practice guidelines for using assessment in the area of emotional well-being.
Link directly to SEAL curriculum learning outcomes and Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP).
Provide a comprehensive profile and progression pathway for individuals and groups.
Enable monitoring and evaluation of SEAL input and outcomes at individual, class and whole-school levels - robust evidence of impact for the SEF.
In the thorny area of SEAL assessment, these
tools stand out as models of good practice. Clear, comprehensive, and manageable in busy classrooms, they offer crucial and robust information (and not just for the SEF although they are good for that!) which really makes a difference to the individuals at the heart of
SEAL – the children and those who work with them
in schools.
