    • Abstract:
      In my brief commentary, I offer a look to the past to celebrate lessons learned in social, emotional, and behavioral assessment. Then, I respectfully pose considerations for researchers and practitioners committed to early detection, intervention, and assessment of students with and at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders. Specifically, I encourage a focus on: (a) conducting additional psychometric studies for all systematic screening and progress monitoring tools to explore reliability, validity, and bias analysis; (b) prioritizing inquiry to support free-access screening and progress monitoring tools; and (c) committing to respectful, responsible inquiry.
