and their measurement, a team of organizations convened a group of leaders, informally called the 
Assessment Work Group (AWG), to create the 
Establishing Practical Social-Emotional Competence 
Assessments of Preschool to High School Students Project
. The project recognized the importance 
of solid SEL frameworks to guide not only how you measure SEL but also how you think about it, 
communicate it, and act upon it. The AWG’s series of framework briefs is designed to help practitioners 
better understand and grapple with the challenges and opportunities multiple SEL frameworks can 
present.
