SAEBRS (Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener) is a brief K–12 tool that evaluates students’ social, academic, and emotional behaviors to identify SEB risks. It captures both positive skills and areas of concern using a validated, research-based framework.

SAEBRS helps evaluate the effectiveness of SEL and SEB programming by identifying behavior patterns, uncovering root causes, and enabling districts to understand where supports are needed. It allows educators to track progress and adjust SEL programs based on data.

SAEBRS is designed to strengthen MTSS by identifying students who need Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 supports, informing problem analysis, and enabling progress monitoring. Reports at the district, school, class, and demographic levels help MTSS teams pinpoint needs and guide resource allocation.

SAEBRS is the only SEB screener shown to meet the psychometric criteria established by the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII), demonstrating strong reliability, validity, and diagnostic accuracy.

SAEBRS requires just 1–3 minutes per teacher rating and 3–5 minutes for the student self-assessment tool (mySAEBRS). This fast administration makes it ideal for universal screening and multiple checkpoints throughout the year.

SAEBRS provides individual, group, and demographic reports that identify SEB concerns, highlight strengths, and reveal trends across grades and subgroups. Reports help educators determine root causes, evaluate school climate, plan interventions, and monitor growth over time.

By pairing non-academic indicators with academic data, SAEBRS helps schools address the full range of factors affecting student learning and wellbeing. It enables early identification of behavioral issues, guides SEL and intervention planning, and supports equitable, whole child decision making at scale.
