Schools that make an effort to promote social-emotional learning, character growth, and joyful learning may question whether and how to measure the effectiveness of such efforts. Yet, as Madora Soutter explains, measurement is an important way to ensure that all students, including those who are frequently marginalized, feel emotionally supported in their schools. Soutter discusses how measurement of SEL and other outcomes is a social justice issue while also warning educators of some of the pitfalls of such measurements. She cites the efforts of the EL Education network of schools as one example of how a school can track social-emotional learning in a way that is attentive to equity.
