Rockport to buy SEL screener for grades 3+, plans opt-out and data dashboarding
Summary
The district plans to purchase a social-emotional learning screener (covered by grant funds for next year) to be administered to grades 3–12, with parent opt-out and data exported to dashboards to support MTSS and intervention decisions.
School leaders told the committee they will purchase an SEL screening instrument with grant funds and roll it out for students in grade 3 and up, using the tool to inform tiered supports within the district's MTSS framework. "What we look at mostly is usually 3rd through 12th grade," one staff member explained, noting that students, not teachers, complete the screener and that parents may opt out.
Staff said the screener will feed analytics dashboards to make SEL data actionable for placement and programming decisions and that initial costs for the screener are covered by grant funding for the coming year. Further curriculum cost and training needs will be addressed in subsequent budget conversations.
