Round: Spring First-Grade National
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.

PROGRAMMER INSTRUCTIONS:
BOLD “Transitional kindergarten” AND “Transitional first grade” IN HELP TEXT.
HELP FOR STEM: Transitional kindergarten: A transitional kindergarten (TK) program is an extra year of
school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool, Head Start, or prekindergarten. TK may be
for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready for kindergarten. Schools
have different names for these programs (for example, early transitional kindergarten, readiness
kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple grades), but all
are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an early childhood setting
such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It may be a full- or part-day
program and have general and/or special education.
Transitional first grade: Transitional first (or pre-first) grade is a school program between kindergarten and
first grade. The name of this program may vary by school (for example, a K-1 class or placement). It is for
children who have attended kindergarten but need more time to be ready for first grade. Children in this
program may be part of a regular first-grade classroom or in a separate classroom.
