The increasing interest in implementing social‐emotional learning (SEL) interventions within schools calls for more reliable and valid assessment tools to measure the effectiveness of SEL programs. We investigated the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Social Skills Improvement System – Social‐Emotional Learning Edition (SSIS SEL) with a group of ethnically and socio‐economically diverse grade 3 students in Ontario, Canada ( n = 427). The SSIS SEL is an age‐normed measure used for the evaluation of interventions and prevention initiatives. Data collected included both teacher‐report and student self‐report measures. The factor structure proposed by the scale developers was not replicated using this smaller single grade sample. However, the study demonstrates evidence of good construct and convergent validity supporting the novel factor structure. Results from this study suggest that more research on the SSIS SEL's application in real‐world intervention research programs is needed
