Measures and Forms for Researchers and Clinicians
These assessment tools were used for past studies. These assessments are a combination of parent and teacher reports, home and school observations and assessments of children’s emotional, social, and problem solving skills. To assist in evaluation activities, we have developed or revised a variety of tools and forms and offer them to facilitate the research and clinical work of others.
Note that some of the studies evaluate treatment versions of the programs for children diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and others are for prevention interventions with high risk and socio-economically disadvantaged populations.
Please visit the article library at right to view and download published summaries of the measures and to see what variables were changed significantly by the programs delivered.

It is not a validated or normed measure, and if you use it, you will need to do your own analysis of the results. A benefit to using this measure is that it taps into specific teacher skills that are covered in the intervention and because of that, we hope it will be sensitive to intervention. Ideally you would have child care providers fill this out prior to starting the IB training and then after completion of the final workshop. If you do use this measure for evaluating this program, we would appreciate you sending us your results. Thank you. Carolyn
Scoring: we suggest that you create a summary score for each area of the questionnaire: (for example: Nurturing Positive Relationships with Children, Supporting Children’s Emotional Development, etc…). Average teacher responses to all questions under each summary category to yield a summary score between 1-5. Higher scores are better. We expect that teachers scores will go up from pre-test to post-test.

Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE) – Preschool Edition (LaFreniere, Dumas, Dubeau, & Capuano, 1992)
This measure is an 80-item Likert rating scale developed to assess patterns of social competence, emotional regulation and expression, and adjustment difficulties in children from preschool through age 8 years. It has been normed with Head Start multi-ethnic children (LaFreniere & Dumas, 1995). The questionnaire, completed by teachers, has four summary scores (social competence, internalizing problems, externalizing problems and general adaptation) balanced for positive (competence) and negative (emotional or behavior problems) items, covering an extensive array of behaviors commonly seen within a preschool setting. The scale has good internal consistency, with Chronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from .80 to.89. The externalizing problems and social competence scores loaded onto the child conduct problems at school construct. Chronbach’s alpha for the ethnic groups ranged from .86-.95.
