Assessment of Preschool Children's Peer-Related Social Competence.

Brown, William H.; Odom, Samuel L.; Buysee, Virginia

Assessment for Effective Intervention, v27 n4 p61-71 Sum 2002

Given the limited use of social competence assessments by teachers, this article briefly reviews three assessment strategies for preschool children, developmental and curriculum-based assessment, direct observation, and peer relations and friendship assessment. A modified performance-based assessment of peer-related social competence is recommended to help teachers improve students' social competence. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
