may also be used. Here children rank items

according to some criteria such as the biggest

problem, the least one and so on. The

relationship or communication mapping

techniques (described in the section on Active

Learning Methods) clearly depict changes in

relationships, especially when used before and

after a Life Skills Education Program.

The T chart

Social skills can be evaluated with a T chart.

Across the horizontal line, write the skill to be

evaluated. On one side of the T write what this

skill will sound like (verbal behavior). On the

other side of the T write what this skill will look

like (non-verbal behavior). The child is then

asked to demonstrate the skill or use a role play

to do so. This tool evaluates what the children

know about the skill, how it is expressed and how

it is used (role play, demonstration, etc.).

The H Assessment

This tool is useful with children to understand their

assessment of a program or workshop or activity.

Draw an H on a chart paper and ask the children

to gather around it. If the children can write, they

can be divided into groups with each group given

an H on a large chart paper.
