Shape4





This questionnaire is an important part of a larger study supported under a contract from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. The overall purpose of the Examining Data Informing Teaching (EDIT) project is to understand the ways teachers use assessments to individualize instruction for preschool children. Participation in this project is voluntary.

This form requests information about your child-care setting and your background and experience. The information will be used for research purposes only and will be kept private to the extent allowed by law. Your answers to these questions will not be shared with your employer. Your name will not be attached to any information you give us. Please note that pages are double-sided, and the questionnaire is 3 pages. It should take about 5 minutes to complete. You may skip any question you do not wish to answer.

Most of the questions can be answered by marking an “X” in the box. For a few questions you may be asked to write in a response.
