SCHOOL VERSION RATING FORMStephen B. McCarney

COVER SHEETRATING GUIDELINES

• The student should be rated by educational person-nel with primary observational opportunities who work directly with the student during instructional situations.

• The rater should conduct his/her ratings indepen-dently, without conferring with others.

• The rater should rely on his/her observation of the student’s behavior as it occurs naturally in the edu-cational environment.

• It is recommended that the rater read each quanti-fier with the item, before rating the item. Using item 13 as an example, the rater would first read, “Not developmentally appropriate for age to lose place when reading (e.g., too young to read),” then “Not observed losing place when reading,” then “One to several times per month loses place when reading,” then “One to several times per week loses place when reading,” then “One to several times per day loses place when reading,” and finally, “One to sev-eral times per hour loses place when reading.”

• It is not necessary to complete the rating of a stu-dent in one day. Several days may elapse before the rater is able to complete the scale.

• If the behavior/skill is developmentally beyond what is expected for the student’s age, the rating should be NOT DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE FOR AGE.

• If the rater has not personally observed the student demonstrate a specific behavior(s), the rating should be

NOT OBSERVED.

• If the rater has had the opportunity to observe the student for more than one month and has observed the behavior one to several times (i.e., one to three times), the rating should be

ONE TO SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH.

• If the behavior has been observed one or more times per week, even several times per week (i.e., one to four times), the rating should be

ONE TO SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK.

• If the behavior has been observed at least once a day or more than one time a day (i.e., one to four times), the rating should be

ONE TO SEVERAL TIMES PER DAY.

• If the behavior has been observed at least once an hour and included behaviors with unlimited frequency which may even defy accurate counting at extremely high rates, the rating should be

ONE TO SEVERAL TIMES PER HOUR.
