At the end of the survey, an 'assessment profile' will be generated for you, which will give you a better understanding of your strengths and areas for learning in classroom assessment.

However, some of these children are not just shy or quiet but may have social anxiety disorder. For these students, simply going to school everyday and interacting with other children and adults makes them feel extremely anxious. They are excessively shy, have an intense fear of social and performance situations, and are concerned about humiliation or embarrassment. Anxiety may be excessive enough that anticipation of a social event may provoke a panic attack or cause intense distress. How do teachers know if a student is suffering from social anxiety?

Kagan Structures Respect Basic Principles Different Kagan structures are designed to implement different principles or visions.
Most Kagan structures involve cooperative interaction and are designed to efficiently produce engagement, positive social interactions, and achievement because they incorporate four basic principles, the PIES principles: Positive Interdependence, Individual Accountability, Equal Participation, and Simultaneous Interaction. The traditional Whole Class Question-Answer violates all four: Positive Interdependence: Positive interdependence occurs when there is a positive correlation among outcomes; negative interdependence is a negative correlation among outcomes.

Others prefer concrete before abstract. Teaching methods also vary: some teachers lecture, others demonstrate or discuss; some focus on principles and others on applications; some emphasise memory and others understanding.
