DISPLAY “These examples do not exhaust all the ways that a child may demonstrate what he/she knows or

QUESTION TEXT:
Question “We would like for you to rate {CHILD}’s current skills, knowledge, and behaviors within language
and literacy, science, and mathematical thinking based on your experience with {him/her}.
•This is NOT a test and should NOT be administered directly to the child.
•Examples are meant to help you think of the range of situations in which the child may demonstrate the
identified skills and behaviors. These examples do not exhaust all the ways the child may demonstrate what
he/she knows or can do. The examples do, however, indicate a level of proficiency a child should have
reached in order to receive the highest ratings. Some of these examples describe a very high level of
performance (beyond typical students) in order to evaluate achievement levels of the highest performing
students.
•Rate {CHILD} compared to other children of the same age level. Please consider the full range of ratings
when answering.

inconsistently.
In progress = Child demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with some regularity but varies in level of
competence.
Intermediate = Child demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with increasing regularity and average
competence but is not completely proficient.
Proficient = Child demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior competently and consistently.
Not applicable or Skill not yet taught = Skill, knowledge, or behavior has not been introduced in classroom
setting.
If {CHILD} has limited English proficiency or is an English language learner, answer with {his/her} native
language in mind if {he/she} does not yet demonstrate skills in English but does demonstrate them in {his/her}
native language.
If {CHILD} has a disability, it may be necessary to consider adaptations for some questions to make them
more inclusive for this child's skills and/or use of adaptive equipment. Some children may utilize alternative
forms of verbal communication (for example, sign language, communication boards) or written
communication (for example, word processors, Braille, dictation). Please answer the questions with these
adaptations in mind.
