Telepractice and the SSIS-SEL
The SSIS SEL can be administered in a telepractice context by utilizing Pearson’s Q-Global® software system. Details regarding the Q-global system and how it is used are provided on the Q-global product page. For additional support, please refer to the Resource Library tab in Q-global. Open the SSIS SEL folder and click on the document titled "Using your Digital Assets on Q-global".
The SSIS SEL has three components: Two evaluation tools; The Screening and Progress Monitoring Scales, and the Rating Forms; and an aligned SEL curriculum; the Classwide Intervention Program.
Administration formats for the Evaluation tools: The Screening and Monitoring scales include a rating form that is completed by teachers. The Rating Scales are available in three administration forms: A Student form (ages 8-18:11), a Parent form (ages 3-18:11) and a Teacher form (ages 3-18:11). Please refer to the SSIS SEL edition Manual to help with decisions regarding which forms are appropriate for each client/referral question.
