Synopsis:

Written in an easy-to-implement format, this important resource provides teachers with an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to improve children's social functioning in the classroom. All the activities are based on the notion that children can become more socially competent with classrooms that are rich in social opportunities.
The book opens with basic information, as well as assessments, activities, and guidelines for use. Materials for assessment before, during, and after interventions have been provided. The authors incorporate the three components of informed assessment - multiple instruments, multiple sources, and multiple occasions - to enable teachers to make appropriate, effective, and efficient decisions.
The activities enable teachers to put the information gained from assessments directly into practice. Charts are provided as aids in organizing information and solidifying plans. All of the activities are easily modified according to specific classrooms, grade levels, or student populations.

About the Author: Pam Campbell is an Assistant Professor of Special Education at the University of Connecticut.
