What makes the DECA Program better than the social/emotional or behavioral checklist my program is already using?
The DECA Program is not just an assessment tool, it is an entire system of strategies and planning for children and classrooms. The DECA Program follows the strength-based model of Resiliency, making it a unique tool. Unlike many instruments, the DECA has reliability and validity, and is standardized and norm-referenced. The standardization sample consisted of 2,000 children across the Nation who had varying socio-economic status and various racial and ethnic backgrounds. The sample was representative of the National population.
