Teacher evaluation Teachers provide their assessments of children's social competence in the classroom. This is a crucial component in understanding how we can improve children's learning and behavior. Information about each child's attendance, academic progress, and any awards or honors will be collected from school records. Next to parents, teachers are the most important people in young children's lives. They have knowledge and expertise about early child development and can tell us what works best to promote children's social skills, effective problem-solving and academic learning in the classroom.
Teachers also see how children learn and behave within large groups of children of similar age.
More than 1000 teachers have completed our assessments. The research project is concerned with the learning and behavior of children in general, not of particular individuals families, children, teachers or schools. Participants are identified by number only, not by name. Data are used only by staff members of The Parenting Clinic for statistical purposes. Staff members have taken an oath of confidentiality.
