Writing Measurable Goals with Social Emotional Learning

A training opportunity provided by the Diagnostic Center North (DCN).

The purpose of this training is for service providers to have a framework to address social-emotional needs with an operationally defined and measurable system. This means first conceptualizing the problem into three categories: symptom, self-report, and coping skill. Conceptualization is followed by data collection, defining measurable goals, and identifying processes to monitor progress. All steps of this framework will be defined and explained in this training.

  • Determine the need for individualized education program (IEP) goals for social-emotional needs
