Things My Child Likes to do: Administration Manual

Description

Things My Child Likes to Do enables educational decision-makers to collect information on children's social, emotional, motivational, and creative abilities from the perspective of those who know them best: their parents or guardians. These scales can be used as one component of a multiple measures identification system for gifted, talented, or enrichment programming or to collect information on students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. The scales have been subjected to content and construct validation to provide clear, accurate, and informative data regarding student characteristics. The Administration Manual provides information on the new rating scale's validity and advice on administering the scale.
