Family as a Social Group Observation Checklist

Use this checklist to observe and document how families function as a social group in a classroom context. It guides reviewers through purpose, activities, characteristics, behaviors, language, and unique aspects of family dynamics. Prompts cover emotional bonds, roles and responsibilities, socialization, conflict resolution, shared spaces and belongings, communication styles, expressions of support, rituals, and cultural traditions. Ideal for lesson observations in social studies and wellbeing classes, it helps evaluate student engagement, teacher facilitation, and the overall learning environment to ensure a supportive, inclusive experience.
