|(all sections)

QUESTION STEMS ON LARGE AND SMALL BROWSERS:
QUESTION STEMS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE DISPLAYED TOGETHER IN GRIDS ON LARGE FORMATS (SUCH AS A
DESKTOP) ARE PRESENTED ONLY ONCE IN THE TEACHER SURVEY SPECIFICATIONS BELOW. WHEN VIEWING
THESE QUESTIONS IN A SMALLER FORMAT (SUCH AS A MOBILE PHONE), QUESTION STEMS REPEAT ON
SEPARATE SCREENS TO MAKE THE INTENT OF THE ITEM CLEAR.
ON LARGE FORMAT DISPLAYS, QUESTIONS IN A GRID ARE SKIPPED AS A GROUP WHEN THE NEXT BUTTON
IS USED. GRIDS HAVE BEEN DIVIDED IN THE SPECIFICATIONS BELOW SO THAT ONLY 4 OR 5 ITEMS ARE
SHOWN ON A SCREEN FOR MOST GRIDS (SOME GRIDS HAVE MORE ITEMS). ON MOBILE, QUESTIONS IN
GRIDS ARE PRESENTED ONE AT A TIME. IF THE "SAVE AND EXIT" BUTTON IS USED IN THE MIDDLE OF GRID
QUESTIONS, AND SOME OF THE GRID QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN
A GRID WILL BE ASSIGNED SK. FOR GRIDS THAT HAVE BEEN DIVIDED INTO SMALLER GROUPS OF ITEMS,
THIS SK ASSIGNMENT TO THE REMAINING QUESTIONS IN A GRID WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE DEFINED GRID
SET IN THE SMALLER GROUP. ELSE, IF THERE IS A BREAK OFF OR TIMEOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF GRID
QUESTIONS, NO ANSWERS IN THE GRID WILL BE SAVED OR AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED SK.
TEXT IN RESPONSE OPTIONS IN GRID ITEMS SHOULD BE TOP ALIGNED.

DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
DISPLAY "current" IN UNDERLINED TEXT.
DISPLAY “These examples do not exhaust all the ways the child may demonstrate what he/she knows or can
do.” IN BOLD TEXT.
QUESTION TEXT:
Question “First, 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}. If you are
not {CHILD}'s primary teacher in any of these areas, you may want to consult with the person most familiar
with {CHILD}'s progress in the area when completing the scales.
•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.
Please press the Next button to continue.”

QUESTION TEXT:
Question “The following five-point scale is used for each of the questions. It reflects the degree to which a
child has acquired and demonstrated the targeted skills, knowledge, and behaviors. Please review the
definitions before navigating to the next page. These definitions are also available next to each question via
clicking the blue "i" icon.

Not yet = Child has not yet demonstrated skill, knowledge, or behavior.
Beginning = Child is just beginning to demonstrate skill, knowledge, or behavior but does so very
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.

Section SSC: Social Skills and Approaches-to-Learning
Teachers rate children in their classrooms on social skills and problem behaviors (e.g., fighting, arguing,
anger, depression, low self-esteem, impulsiveness) and learning dispositions or “approaches to learning”
(e.g., curiosity, self-direction, organization, and persistence). The social skills and problem behaviors were
adapted from the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS) and the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) by
Gresham and Elliot (1990, 2008) and are published by NCS Pearson. The following items are copyright
protected and are not listed: SSC001, SSC002, SSC003, SSC004, SSC005, SSC007, SSC010, SSC011, SSC013,
SSC017, SSC018, SSC019, SSC020, SSC021, SSC022.
The approaches to learning items were created for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) by Atkins-Burnett. They are not copyright protected and,
therefore, are listed below.
