With clear goals in place, determine what data you’ll need to collect throughout the year to measure progress and continuously improve your implementation plan.  Consider these questions when planning how to evaluate your SEL efforts:

  • What type of data will help us understand if we are making progress toward our goals? 
  • Who will be in charge of administering surveys/data collection?
  • How often will we meet to engage in data reflection?
