The Social Profile Training

Training for using the Social Profile (2010) is necessary to provide reliability of assessment of group interaction skills. Training can consist of:

• Viewing videotapes/DVD's of groups of various participation levels
• Discussing observations with a partner, colleague or supervisor
• Using worksheets to identify videotape/DVD's of behaviors
• Reviewing case studies of groups for their level of participation
• Exploratory observations of groups jointly with an experienced Social Profile rater for interrater reliability
