These items are important for the rest of the survey. Please complete the items that you have left blank.”

PROGRAMMER BOX B02

PLEASE MAKE QUESTIONS B02A-L APPEAR AS A TABLE WITH A column for each respondent reported in the b01 and a row for each piece of information to be collected. Ideally no more than five (5) household members would appear on the screen at the same time and larger households might require multiple tables (though the final determination would be based on data collection programming and a determination of what is appropriate in size). An alterantive strategy would be to have each column shrunk until it is selected and then it becomes magnified on the screen, and each column subsequently mangifies and shrinks as the respondent progresses across the table. This strategy of highlighting a particular household member could also be used to highlight each row in an effort to draw attention to the exact information being requested one-at-a-time.

The column for hh3fname and hh3lname and any other subsequent columns of names for hh#fname and HH#lname will be populated as necessary. columns will not appear if there is not a household member to fill the column (e.g., households with only 2 people (i.e., respondent and child) will only have two columns in the table).

THE B02 LOOP SHOULD ASK QUESTIONS ACCORDING TO THE B01 MEMBER TYPE ORDERING.

1. RESPONDENT

2. CHILD

3. HH MEMBER #1

4. HH MEMBER #2, ETC.

Row a-d will be asked for everyone, although row a and row b should already be filled out for the child based on responses to a08 and a09. All other responses will be recorded using drop down boxes, so each of the responses listed below will appear as drop down boxes in the table.

row a will have the following values for responses from 0 through “99 or older”, with one response option of “don’t know” offered.

row b will have the following response options:

1. Male

2. Female

FOR ROW B: Don’t ask B02b when A08=1 or 0 and B02 is asked in regards to THE focus child.

row c will have the following response options:

1. Yes, this person is Hispanic or Latino/Latina

2. No, this person is not Hispanic or Latino/Latina

row D will have the following response options:

1. White

2. Black or African American

3. Asian

4. Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander

5. American Indian or Alaska Native

PROGRAMMER NOTE (for Row D): “add an information icon next to each of these response categories which would be the link to the help text but not activate the check box.  This would mean if the respondent clicked on the word “White” it would still check the box, but not deploy the help text.  If they clicked the information icon , it would take them to the help text but will not automatically check the response.”

row e will be populated based on responses to row c and row d. If a person is reported to be hispanic/latino/latina, have response options for the specifc Hispanic group the respondent belongs to:

1. Mexican, Mexican-American, or Chicano

2. Cuban

3. Dominican

4. Puerto Rican

5. Central American

6. South American

7. Other (please specify)

By Central American, we mean, for example, people who describe themselves as Guatemalan, Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, Costa Rican, Panamanian, or Honduran.

the response option “south american” should have a HYPERLINK TO THE BELOW HELP TEXT:

By South American, we mean, for example, people who describe themselves as Colombian, Argentine, or Peruvian.

if an individual choses “other (please specify)” a pop-up box should appear asking the respondent to type in the hispanic group they identify with.

If a person is reported to be Asian in row d, then row e will have response options for the specifc asian group the respondent belows to:

8. Asian Indian

9. Chinese

10. Filipino

11. Japanese

12. Korean

13. Vietnamese

14. Other (please specify)

if an individual choses “other (please specify)” a pop-up box should appear asking the respondent to type in the asian group they identify with.

if a respondent indicates that a person is both hispanic and asian, then all of the above response options should be provided for the individual to choose from. This is why the numbering for these response options is from 1-14 (although the ‘other (please specify)’ response option may be able to share the same value, and responses can be examined afterward and upcoded accordingly).

row f will be asked of every member in the household, with the response for child prefilled. Other response options for row f include:

1. Mother/Female guardian

2. Father/Male guardian

3. Sister

4. Brother

5. Girlfriend or partner of [CFNAME]’s parent/guardian

populate response options with the first and last name of the respondent and each member of the household WHO is 16 years old or older.

if respondent selects more than 2 members of the household, retain answers but have a pop-up appear with the following text:

Please select the two members of the household most responsible for providing care to [CFNAME]. If more than two household members provide equal amounts of care to the child, please select the two members that you know the most about.

The total number of names to appear in the pop-up list is dependent on the number of household members selected in b02m. If the respondent continues to respond with more than two individuals as the primary parents in the household, the selection logic will be applied according to the following rules: 1) if a household member identified as mother is selected as one of the primary parents they will be set to be primary parent 1 regardless of who else is selected; 2) if a household member identified as father is selected as one of the primary parents they will be set to be primary parent 2 regardless of who else is selected; 3) if a household member identified as mother is selected and no household member is identified as father then primary parent 2 should be assigned to the household member according to their relationship type with the following priority order a) another mother, b) boyfriend/girlfriend, c) grandmother/grandfather, d) aunt/uncle, e) other relative/non-relative over age 18. If no other family member meets one of these criteria, then primary parent 2 set to missing; 4) if a household member identified as father is selected and no household member is identified as mother then primary parent 1 should be assigned to the household member according to their relationship type with the following priority order a) another father, b) boyfriend/girlfriend, c) grandmother/grandfather, d) aunt/uncle, e) other relative/non-relative over age 18. If no other family member meets one of these criteria, then household member identified as father becomes primary parent 1 and primary parent 2 set to missing.

if two or fewer household members are selected in b02m, the following rules apply for designating primary parent 1 and primary parent 2: 1) for households with two individuals of the opposite sex selected, the female will be primary parent 1 and the male will be primary parent 2; 2) for households with two individuals of the same sex selected, the individual identified as “mother” will be set as primary parent 1 (if two females) and the individual identified as “father” will be set as primary parent 2 (if two males); 3) for households with two individuals of the same sex who have both identified as mother or father, primary parent 1 will be assigned to the member that has the lowest value for b02g—the other member will be assigned primary parent 2; 4) for households with two individuals of the same sex who have both identified as mother or father and who have equal values on b02g, primary parent 1 will be assigned TO the member that is based on family roster number—the other household member will be assigned primary parent 2.

information from this item will be used to create ‘pointers’ for the primary adults in the household and assist with the marital status and employment questions.

the number or pound sign (#) implies that responses will be coded to coRrespond to a household member’s location in the family roster.

A00a. Please rate the student's skills, knowledge, and behaviors based on your experience with [him/her]. This is NOT a test and should not be administered directly to the student.

Each question includes examples that are meant to help you think of the range of situations in which the student may demonstrate the skills and behaviors. The examples are not exhaustive, but they do indicate the level of proficiency a student should have reached in order to receive the highest ratings.

It may be necessary to consider adaptations for some questions to make them more inclusive for this student's skills and/or use of adaptive equipment. For example, if a student utilizes alternative forms of verbal communication (e.g., sign language, communication boards) or written communication (e.g., word processors, Braille, dictation), please answer the questions with these adaptations in mind.

Each skill, knowledge, or behavior is rated on a five-point scale.

1 Not yet = Student has not yet demonstrated skill, knowledge, or behavior

2 Beginning = Student is just beginning to demonstrate skill, knowledge, or behavior but does so very inconsistently

3 In progress = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with some regularity but varies in level of competence

4 Intermediate = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with increasing regularity and average competence but is not completely proficient

5 Proficient = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior competently and consistently

For students with Limited English Proficiency or English language learners: Please answer the questions based on your knowledge of this student's skills. If the student does not yet demonstrate skills in English but does demonstrate them in his/her native language, please answer the questions with the student's native language in mind. You can also consult with the student’s English language learner teacher or general education teacher to answer any question. If you feel you cannot answer any question, you will also have the option to indicate you are “unable to assess the student.”
