Abstract: Many teachers and administrators recognize the importance of social and emotional development for student success but do not feel that they have the time or tools to support social and emotional learning (SEL). The American Institutes for Research developed the "Social and Emotional Learning Coaching Toolkit: Keeping SEL at the Center" (Yoder & Gurke, 2017) to help schools embed SEL into academic instruction. Built into the toolkit is a rubric for observing and recording teacher implementation of SEL practices. This paper offers a modified tool that incorporates two components of the rubric. The left column describes indicators that reflect high-quality implementation for each practice, including teacher behaviors and corresponding student behaviors that would be expected if teachers are implementing the practices with high quality. The middle column provides a space to record the teacher's performance level. The right column includes discussion questions tied to each practice that can be used for planning, feedback, and reflection between coaches and teachers.
