VShape1 IQI Baseline Teacher Report on Children

July 2021



BASELINE TEACHER REPORTS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILDREN IN CLASSROOM


The purpose of the Baseline Teacher Report on Children is to capture children’s social and behavioral outcomes (i.e., positive social behaviors, challenging behaviors, and approaches to learning) based on teacher observation and interaction during routine classroom activities at the beginning (baseline) of the impact evaluation and process study. Lead teachers will be asked to complete a report on selected children in their classroom. This will be handed out at about the same time as the baseline teacher survey.










  1. Introduction

Thank you for participating in the Variations in Implementation of Quality Interventions (VIQI) Project! As part of this study, we would like you to answer some questions about some children in your classroom. This information is crucial to helping us understand the impacts of early care and education centers on children.


Your participation is completely voluntary, and you may skip any questions you do not wish to answer. You may stop the survey at any time. Your responses to these questions will be kept private to the extent permitted by law and will not be shared with your supervisor or other staff. There are no direct benefits to you for participating. Participation does not involve any risks other than what you would encounter in daily life. There is a small risk that your information could be lost, stolen, or misused, even though we follow strict rules to protect your information. The study team will follow strict procedures to protect your responses, and your responses will only be used for research and program improvement purposes. Your responses will be stored in password protected computer files and in locked research facilities. The data will be used only by the research team and other researchers bound by the same security requirements described here. We also may share de-identified responses with researchers looking at other education research topics who agree that they will protect your information.


Please complete this questionnaire within the next [X] days. Once complete, please send it back to [ADDRESS]. It will take approximately 10 minutes per child to complete. If you have any questions, please contact your project liaison at [PHONE] or [email].


Thank you!
