Social Skills Self-Assessment for High School Students
By Gabrielle W.
A 5-point self-rating assessment for 9th graders to reflect on how they listen, resolve conflict, and interact with peers, organized by skill category. It's a quick reflective activity that helps students spot their strengths and areas for growth, and it works well as a short advisory or SEL block.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the assessment as a private self-reflection rather than a grade, and remind students there are no right or wrong answers so they respond honestly.
- Discussion question: Which statement was the hardest to rate honestly, and why do you think that skill is challenging in conversations?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Read the rating scale and one example item aloud together, and let students talk through what "Sometimes" versus "Often" looks like in their own week before completing the rest.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them pick their two lowest-rated skills and write a short plan describing one concrete action they could take this week to practice each.
- Estimated time: About 15 to 20 minutes for completion, plus 10 minutes for debrief or journaling.
