Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being and Mental Health
The Social Networks and Friendship Survey asks participants to indicate their friends in the classroom. From this list, children are asked to identify the top 3 friends by marking them with a star. The survey also asks children to indicate “rejects” or children with whom they don’t like to hang out.
