Note: Our current pilot client does not use an SEL assessment. The table below spells out in detail how tiering will work for customers who use RethinkEd’s SEL/wellness student self-assessment. As we sign on more customers who use other SEL/wellness assessments, we will add how to map assessment results to tiers accordingly.

Similar to the logic behind the tier recommendations for academic assessments, RethinkEd wants to leverage the work of the makers of wellness assessments (sometimes referred to as social-emotional learning assessments) when determining the level of support students need. For wellness assessments that provide categories of scores like RethinkEd does, the recommended tiers will be based on them. Typically for assessments that provide categories scores, the scoring reflects how well students are faring on wellness compared to peers. For example, RethinkEd’s wellness measure has scores of 1 to 5 that reflect percentiles according to grade level bands (e.g., grades 3 through 5, grades 6 through 8). A score of 1 corresponds to the 10th percentile and lower (labeled as “very low”), and a score of 2 corresponds to the 11th to 30th percentile (labeled as “low”; ERB 2019). Such approaches to scoring provide strong indication of how to recommend students for tiered interventions.
