Round: Spring Kindergarten 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.
