Measures

Numerous measures exist to gain a full picture of a student's learning strengths and challenges. Following are examples of measures used to assess this Learner Factor. These measures should be administered and interpreted by experienced professionals.

Emotional Clarity Questionnaire (Flynn & Rudolph, 2010): Seven item self-report questionnaire that assesses adolescents' perceived emotional clarity, or how they experience their feelings

Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) (March, 2013): Assesses through self-report and parent-report the presence of anxiety for students eight to 19 years old

Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Children (Chiu & Henry, 1990): A 22 item measure where students rate their level of nervousness doing math-related activities in school
