[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what they could have done--although, I am not sure about privacy issues, etc.

I taught young children.  A tip that someone gave me:  during recess--pick two or three kids every day to observe and make notes.  It only takes a very short time to see if they are interacting appropriately with other kids--or not interacting at all.  And, of course, during recess, if you note something troublesome, make a note of that, too.  This ensures that even those kids who "fly under the radar" get observed.

As one of my colleagues said one time, "I don't worry about the kids who run in an hug me--I worry about the ones who hang next to me at recess."  Some kids will practically rub up against a teacher.  Those are usually the needy ones.

What I am saying, is that a survey like this is not helpful.  Observation is.  I cannot speak for older kids, but for elementary, teachers taking notes would be much more useful.  And, of course, this does not mean you don't observe in the classroom, but a teacher can learn a lot about a child at recess.

Is this how they will be doing it with the K-2 kids? My kid is in 1st, and I actually sent the teacher an email last week asking her to do exactly this at recess. My son is shy and tells us no one will play with him at recess. even if he asks and that he has no friends, but 6 year olds are pretty unreliable. So I brought it to the teacher's attention and she said she'll do some extra observation this week and get back to us. [/quote]
