Measurement:

​

The assessment framework for the Venus Social Group is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of students' social development. Facilitators will employ various strategies, beginning with regular observations during group activities to evaluate the application of learned social skills, such as following group instructions and engaging in reciprocal play. Quantifiable data will be collected to track progress on individualized and common learning goals, providing tangible insights into participants' social growth. Continuous communication among facilitators, educators, and team members will foster a collaborative understanding of each participant's development. Additionally, a report card will be provided to parents after each term, summarizing individual achievements and progress towards set goals and highlighting areas for continued focus. This multi-dimensional measurement approach ensures a thorough and nuanced assessment, empowering facilitators and parents with valuable insights into the social development journey of each participant in the Venus Social Group.
