Social Emotional Learning Program Quality Assessment (SEL-PQA) – Fall 2025
The Social and Emotional Learning Program Quality Assessment (SEL PQA) is an efficient, effective, research-validated observational tool for assessing adult youth leader practices that support social and emotional learning. Intended for use in programs serving young people in grades K-12, the instrument builds on the research-validated Youth PQA and over ten years of observational measure development. It also incorporates insights from the SEL Challenge, an initiative dedicated to developing exemplary practices to support social and emotional learning in young people.
