Teacher Survey (Child Level)
Spring 2025 - Form TQC1A
INTRODUCTION
Dear Teacher,
Your school has agreed to participate in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 2023-24 (ECLS-K:2024), a nationwide study of elementary-aged
children and their schools, teachers, and parents. As part of the study, we are asking
teachers at your school to complete surveys. You have been asked to complete this survey
because one or more of the children in your class(es) are participants in this study. The
child who is the subject of this survey is identified on the cover. This survey contains
questions about this child’s skills and abilities.
The ECLS-K:2024 collects information from teachers of children who are in the study to
investigate the relationship between children’s academic progress and various school,
classroom, teacher, and home characteristics.
Taking part in the study is voluntary. You may stop at any time or choose not to answer a
question you do not want to answer. However, only you can provide this information.
Although we realize you are very busy, we urge you to complete this survey as completely
and accurately as possible.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

ACADEMIC RATING SCALE
Please rate this child's current skills, knowledge, and behaviors within language and literacy (section 1),
science (section 2), and mathematical thinking (section 3), based on your experience with him or her. If you
are not the primary teacher in any of these areas, you may want to consult with the person most familiar
with the child’s progress in the area when completing the scales.
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 or 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.
For each question, please rate this 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.
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 this child has limited English proficiency or is an English language learner, answer with his or her
native language in mind if he or she does not yet demonstrate skills in English but does demonstrate them in
his or her native language.
If this 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.

Intermediate Proficient
a. Contributes relevant information to classroom
discussions – for example, during a class discussion,
can express an idea or a personal opinion on a topic
and the reasons behind the opinion.
b. Engages in higher-level thinking and reasoning
during classroom discussions – for example, answers
questions that are not just an explicit recall of facts,
makes inferences, asks on-topic questions, and can
have a cohesive exchange of ideas that are centered
on a given topic for at least three conversational turns.
c. Uses morphemes to figure out the meanings of
words – for example, knows that “–s” means “more
than 1” as in “trucks”; “–er” means a “person who” as
in “farmer” and “painter”; “un” means “not” as in
“unlike” and “unfriendly”; or “re” means “again” as in
“reread” and “replay.”
d. Uses complex sentence structures – for example,
says "If she had brought her umbrella, she wouldn't
have gotten wet," or "Yesterday it was raining cats
and dogs," or "Why can't we go on the field trip at
the same time as the first grade?"
e. Understands and interprets a story or other text
read to him/her – for example, by writing a sequel
to a story, or dramatizing part of a story, or posing a
question about why a particular story event occurred
as it did.
f. Reads first-grade books independently with
comprehension – for example, reads most words
correctly and answers questions about what was
read, makes predictions while reading, and retells
a story after reading it.

g. Reads first-grade books fluently – for example,
easily reads words in meaningful phrases rather than
reading word by word.
h. Demonstrates beginning writing skills – for example,
writes sentences to express ideas while correctly
spelling many short words like "hop" or "bed," and,
if necessary, attempts approximate phonetic spelling
for more difficult words (for example, "vakashun" for
"vacation.")
i. Composes a story with a clear beginning, middle,
and end.
j. Composes informative/explanatory text – for
example, uses a combination of drawing, dictating,
and writing to state what is being written about,
supply some information about the topic, and
provide some sense of closure.
k. Demonstrates an understanding of some
of the conventions of print – for example, by
appropriately using question marks, exclamation
points, and quotation marks.
l. Finds meaningful units in words such as
prefixes, suffixes, and base words.

a. Uses his/her senses to explore and observe – for
example, observes how a push or pull can change the
way an object is moving, or observes and describes
properties of rocks, soil, and water, or uses tools (such
as hand lenses, thermometers, rulers) to gather
information about objects.
b. Forms explanations based on observations and
explorations – for example, explains the best
growing conditions for a plant after investigating
with light and water.
c. Classifies and compares living and non-living things
in different ways – for example, classifies vegetables
that grow above or below the ground, or measures
objects and classifies them by size or weight.
d. Makes logical predictions when pursuing scientific
investigations – for example, predicts whether or not
objects are magnetic based on the materials they are
made of.
e. Communicates scientific information – for example,
records data from measurement tools (for example,
clocks, thermometers, etc.), or constructs bar graphs.
f. Shows curiosity about the world by asking how and
why things happen – for example, asks how rocks are
formed or why it is warmer in the daytime than at night.
g. Generates different strategies to solve a problem –
for example, when a design solution does not work as
intended, tries other tools, materials, or methods to
solve the problem.
h. Shows an understanding of cause and effect – for
example, knows if he or she pushes a ball harder, it will
go faster.

a. Applies properties of operations as strategies to add
and subtract – for example, if 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then
3 + 8 = 11 is also known (commutative property of
addition); to add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can
be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12
(associative property of addition). (Child does not need
to use the formal terms for these properties.)
b. Fluently adds and subtracts within 10.
c. Fluently adds and subtracts within 20 using a variety
of mental strategies – for example, making 10 (for
example, 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); using the
relationship between addition and subtraction (for
example, knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4);
and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (for
example, adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent
6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
d. Demonstrates an understanding of place value – for
example, by explaining that fourteen is ten plus four, or
using two stacks of ten and five single cubes to represent
the number 25.
e. Reads and writes numbers to 1000 using base-ten
numerals, number names, and expanded form – for
example, reads or writes “537” as “five hundred thirty
seven,” writes “one hundred six” as “106,” and writes
that 289 = 200 + 80 + 9.
f. Uses addition and subtraction (within 20)
to solve problems involving unknown parts
and unknown total – for example, 4 + __ = 9,
12 + 7 = __, 15 – __ = 4, and 10 – 3 = __.
g. Surveys, collects, and organizes data into simple
graphs – for example, by making tally marks to represent
the number of children who want to play jump rope at
recess, or making a picture, bar, line, or circle graph to
show the different kinds of fruit children bring to school
and the quantity of each type.
h. Makes reasonable estimates of quantities – for
example, looking at a group of objects and deciding
if it is more than 10, about 50, or less than 100.

Section 5: 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 selfesteem, 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: E1a-e, i-j, l, p-r. The approaches to learning items were created for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
