INC. Introduction
Box INC1001. / Grid Spec

Notes: 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.

Question “Please 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 the 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.

ARC001a

•This is NOT a test and should NOT be administered directly to the child.
•Each skill, knowledge, or behavior is listed in bold, and there are often
examples to help illustrate what is intended. These examples do not exhaust all
the ways the child may demonstrate what he/she knows or can do. Use the
examples as a guide to the level of proficiency a child should have reached in
order to receive the highest rating.

Question “For each question, please rate {CHILD} compared to other children of
the same age level using the following five-point scale that reflects the degree to
which a child has acquired and demonstrated the identified 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.

ARC001b

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.

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

Gresham and Elliot (1990, 2008) and are published by NCS Pearson. The following items are copyright
