  1. Measuring Child Outcomes in CSEFEL Demonstration Sites Mary Louise Hemmeter Patricia Snyder Tweety Yates

  2. Agenda • Review expectations related to measuring child outcomes in CSEFEL demonstration sites • Review process for submitting data • Review child outcome measures: • SSIS (ages 3 years and up) • ASQ-SE (below 3 years) • Ask and Answer Questions

  3. Child Measures: Purpose • Provide information about how a program is doing toward supporting children’s social emotional development and addressing challenging behavior • Can be used to make decisions at the state, program, or classroom levels • Data on individual children should only be used to identify children who might need more support – neither tool is designed to be used for planning instructional programs

  4. Child Measures • Complete at two points in time – fall and spring • Complete after you have known the child 2 months • Send data to Vanderbilt de-identified – no child or teacher names should appear on the protocol (review data tracking form) • Data should be copied and then mailed via overnight carrier so that it can be tracked (address is included on a slide) • Vanderbilt will score and send summary reports

  5. Send Data to: Alana Schnitz CSEFEL Project Vanderbilt University 230 Appleton Place MRL Bldg., Rm 304 Nashville, TN  37203 Email Alana to alert her when you mail it: alana.k.griffin@vanderbilt.edu) *keep a copy and ship with a tracking number

  6. Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ-SE) • Authors: Squires, J., Bricker, D., & Twombly, E. • Publisher: Brookes http://www.pbrookes.com/store/books/squires-asqse/index.htm

  7. ASQ-SE: General Information • Screening tool • Social and emotional competence • Social and emotional behaviors • Item content addresses 7 behavioral areas • Self-regulation, compliance, communication, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, interaction with people • 3 to 66 months • CSEFEL will only use ASQ-SE for children < 3 years of age

  8. Components of ASQ-SE • ASQ-SE “box” (Starter Kit) • 8 questionnaires • 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months • 8 corresponding scoring sheets • User’s Guide • CD-ROM with reproducible questionnaires • CSEFEL has provided each state with a disk from which you can print as many copies as needed • English and Spanish questionnaires available

  9. Who Completes ASQ-SE? • For CSEFEL demonstration sites, the teacher or caregiver • Teachers or caregivers can complete the ASQ-SE; “however, it is important that caregivers have 15-20 hours per week of contact with the child before completing the ASQ-SE” (ASQ-SE User’s Guide, p. 25) • Time to Complete: 10 -15 min/questionnaire

  10. Number of Items By Age Level Table from: ASQ-SE User’s Guide

  11. Administration • Administer questionnaire that is within 3 months on either side of child’s chronological age for 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 month questionnaires • Administer questionnaire that is within 6 months on either side of the child’s chronological age for 36, 48, and 60 month questionnaires • NOTE: CSEFEL will use it only for children<3 years

  12. Guidelines for Questionnaire Use Note: ASQ:SE questionnaires do not correct for prematurity

  13. ASQ Item-Response Format • Most of the time • Child doing the behavior most of the time, too much, or too often • Sometimes • Child doing the behavior occasionally but not consistently • Rarely or never • Child rarely performs the behavior or has never performed the behavior
