Overview of the Mosaic™ by ACT Social Emotional Learning Screener - The Mosaic™ by ACT Social Emotional Learning Screener assesses social emotional skills in elementary, middle, and high school students, focusing on skills such as perseverance, interpersonal skills, and emotional regulation[9][10]. - The elementary screener includes 23 items, while the middle and high school versions each contain 30 items, all completed online in approximately 5-7 minutes[11]. Assessment and Reporting - Students receive scores ranging from 1 (Developing) to 4 (Mastery) in each social emotional skill area, with reports identifying students scoring 1, indicating a need for further support[11][28]. - The screener demonstrates reliability and validity across all samples, with evidence of convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity[12]. Demographics and Sample Size - The first sample for reliability and validity analysis included 1,206 elementary students, while a second sample comprised 6,522 students from 2020 to 2022[35][40]. - The demographic breakdown of the first sample shows 51.1% female and 45.3% male students, with a diverse racial composition[36]. Skill Definitions and Framework - Social emotional skills are defined as critical interpersonal, self-regulation, and task-related behaviors essential for success in educational and workplace environments[16]. - The framework aligns with the "Big Five" personality traits, providing a structured approach to understanding social emotional skills[17]. School Climate Measurement - The assessment also evaluates two dimensions of school climate: relationships with school personnel and school safety, both of which are linked to student motivation and academic performance[21][22]. - Positive perceptions of school climate correlate with higher levels of social emotional skills, indicating a bidirectional relationship[22]. Performance Indicators - In the first sample, 34% of students were classified as "Developing" in social emotional skills, while 22% were classified as "Developing" in school climate perception[50]. - Students identified as "Developing" in social emotional skills exhibited significantly lower academic performance ratings compared to their peers[51]. Subgroup Differences - Analysis revealed significant differences in scores based on grade level, gender, and race/ethnicity, with third graders generally scoring higher than fifth graders across all measures[53]. - Female students scored higher than male students in perseverance and interpersonal skills, while no significant differences were found in emotional regulation[57]. Conclusion - The Mosaic™ by ACT Screener provides a comprehensive assessment of social emotional skills and school climate perceptions, with implications for identifying students in need of additional support and resources[8][9].
