DESSA 2 assesses eight social and emotional competencies and is intended to help educators plan instruction, document students’ strengths and areas of need, inform progress monitoring, and evaluate program outcomes.

DESSA-mini is a brief version of the DESSA intended to serve as a universal screener of social and emotional competencies.

In contrast to other screeners, the ESBA was developed to (a) focus on the social and academic behaviors that classroom teachers prefer their students know; (b) provide a measure for teachers to efficiently screen their students; (c) use positively worded, strength-based items to improve social validity; and (d) pair with a curriculum to teach the teacher-preferred behaviors in classrooms

The Emotional and Behavioral Screener (EBS) is an accurate and efficient instrument that uses teachers’ ratings to identify students in grades K-12 who show signs of potential emotional or behavioral problems and who warrant careful observation, further assessment, or provision of more than the usual educational service. The EBS can be used by researchers, educational professionals, school district administrators or principals, to screen all students in a school, grade, or class, or an individual student. It can also be used to screen students within a three-tier positive behavior support model.

The Home and Community Social Behavior Scale (HCSBS) is a screening instrument that can be used to evaluate students’ social and emotional behaviors and to identify children with challenges.

It can be administered up to four times over the course of a year to quickly pinpoint areas of strength, improvement, and perception of school climate.
