developed School Survey that is part of the Global Education Policy Dashboard. The School Survey collects data primarily on Practices (the quality of service delivery in schools), but also on some de facto Policy and school-level Politics indicators. It consists of streamlined versions of existing instruments—including Service Delivery Indicator (SDI) Surveys, Teach, Global Early Child Development Database (GECDD), In-Service Teacher Training Instrument Survey (ITTSI), and the Development World Management Survey (DWMS)—together with new questions to fill gaps in those instruments. Relative to the full version of these instruments, the number of items and the complexity of the questions within each module is significantly lower. The School Survey includes 8 short modules: Roster, School Information, Principal Questionnaire, Teacher Questionnaire, Classroom Observation, Teacher Assessment, Direct Assessment, and Student Assessment. For a team of two enumerators, it takes on average about 4 hours to collect all information in a given school. This version of the instrument was designed for broad distribution and thus excludes certain items to preserve the effectiveness of the overall School Survey. The excluded items include assessment items and scenario-based questions for principals. Throughout the document, blue options indicate that the options are adapted to each country context. This instrument was developed by Reema Nayar, Halsey Rogers, Sergio Venegas Marin, Marta Carnelli, and Brian William Stacy. Significant inputs were provided by other members of the World Bank’s Education Global Practice. 3 Pre-Interview Enumerator Note: Complete these questions prior to entering the school.

This study is conducted by the World Bank, with the support of the Education Ministry. We would like to ask you a few questions about your background and experience with the school system. Your interview will take approximately 40 minutes. There is no risk anticipated with participating. This is a chance for you to tell your experience with the education system. The Ministry of Education hopes that what they learn from this research will help them improve the learning experience of our country’s children. Your responses to interview questions will be kept confidential. Research staff will protect your personal information closely, so no one outside the global research team will be able to identify that the responses are coming from you. The data you share with us may be used as the basis for publications or presentations in the future, but we will never use your name or information that would identify you. Your colleagues and superiors will not see your responses. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you may refuse to participate or withdraw from the study at any time. You may skip any question during the interview. Your relationship with any school or the Ministry of Education will not be affected by your decision to participate or not. For further details, please see the World Bank’s Personal Data Privacy policy guiding this research.

In this module, you will collect the roster of teacher, check their school/classroom presence, and select those that will be part of the sample for the other modules. Selecting Grade 4 for live observation: How many Grade 4 classrooms are there? _______ If there is only one, we will be observing this class. If there are more than one, which classes have their regular teacher present. From these, check which ones have yet to be taught English or Math. Out of these classrooms, select one using the random number generator app or the random table. Grade 4 selected for observation recording: __________ Module 1A: Teacher Roster for the current school year (20XX) Enumerator Note: All teachers that taught language or mathematics in the current academic year (Grades 3-5) in this roster must be sampled for Module 5. Enumerator Read: Please allow me to ask a few questions about the teachers who are working in this school (including pre-school and special needs), as well as you and your deputy. Could you give me the names of all the teachers currently teaching including government, contract and volunteer teachers? [Include Teachers ONLY] Enumerator Note 2: In schools with more than 30 teachers in their official records, Step1. Write down all the teachers in primary Level (grades 1-5) in the roster (Teaching Staff); Step2. If the number of teaching staff was still > 30, record the teachers who teach Language and Math subjects from Grade 3-4, then continue with grade 5, then grades 1-2 respectively, until the roster reaches 30; Step3. If the number of teaching staff in primary level for subjects of Math and Language in the roster was less than 30, continue filling the roster with the rest of the subjects taught from grades 3-5 until the roster reaches 30.

In completed years 1 = Male A10 What is your gender? 2 = Female Sections B & C: Operations Management – Vignette 1 & 2 These two sections include 2 vignettes describing hypothetical scenarios related to (i) infrastructure repair/maintenance, and (ii) school material availability. Other core functions – like teacher hiring, supervision, and training – are being captured through other indicators. Each vignette has 4-6 questions asking how the function would be handle or if handled at all. 14 For example, the scenario could be “We are now going to give you a hypothetical scenario and we want you to answer these questions based on your experience and what you think would happen. Please think of this scenario. You work at your school. The school year has just begun and the drainage of the main bathroom that students use stops working.” Based on this scenario, the enumerator would then ask a series of questions to assess who would be responsible for the problem, the likely actions that would be taken to resolve the problem, and the feasibility of fixing the problem within an appropriate timeframe. Sections D & E: Management Practices – Goal-Setting & Problem Solving For problem-solving, there are 3 questions related to a hypothetical scenario. These questions use root- cause analysis to analyze how the principal would react to a given situation. For goal-setting, the principal is asked a series of questions about the goals that he/she has set for the given academic year. The quantitative and qualitative responses gathered through these questions will then be scored according to a rubric to combine them into a single score. For instance, questions could include: Imagine that you conduct a school-wide student assessment, and while the performance is good overall, you notice that there is one class in particular that is lagging behind the others. What would be the first thing you would do? What actions would you take? How would you monitor progress?

To do so, each teacher is asked to mark (or “grade”) mock student tests either in Language or Mathematics; depending on the subjects that each teacher is responsible for teaching. Up to 5 randomly selected teachers will do the teacher assessment. The randomization is performed automatically in Module 1 – Roster and prioritizes language and math teachers in grades 4, 5, 3, 2, and (in that order). There are two types of assessments: a mathematics assessment and a language assessment. If the selected teacher teaches both subjects, one of the two assessments will be given at random. Otherwise, each teacher will receive the assessment for the subject they teach. The enumerator will spend about 10 minutes reviewing some sample questions to give you some practice before beginning the actual assessment. After reviewing the sample questions each teacher will complete the test individually. Each teacher is given 30 minutes to complete it. Sample questions are provided below. Sample Questions Task A – Assess students’ literacy Section 1 – Below is a test paper by a primary school student. Please mark the answers using a  for those answers that are correct and a  for those answers that are not correct. For those answers that you mark, you must write the correct answer in the space provided. For example: Examples: Complete the sentences with the correct words from the brackets (a) Where (Does, Where, How long) does it take to walk to this (a)  (a) How long school? b) When (Where, When, What) is your sister doing? (b)  (b) What c) Before it started to rain, Ahmed heard (hears, was hearing, (c)  (c) heard) thunder in the distance. 29 Module 6 – Student Direct Assessment (Grade 1) The purpose of the Direct Assessment is to provide an objective assessment of children’s broad development and early learning across various domains. The assessment is based on the Measuring Early Learning Quality and Outcomes (MELQO) modules and it is designed to be used with children aged 6 years of age or first grade children. The assessment will be conducted with three 1 st Grade students per school.

Say things like, 'You are working very hard - keep it up!' Do not indicate to the child that they correctly or incorrectly answered the question, except where indicated in practice trials. Give encouragement in between questions, rather than in the middle of questions. Do not give hints to questions or make facial expressions while the child is completing tasks. Enumerator read aloud: Hello, my name is ______________________. I work with ___________________. We are here to learn about how children, like you, learn things and if they know how to play some games. I will ask you some questions about stories and pictures. Some activities will be easy for you and others may be harder. Don’t worry if you cannot do some things. We just want you to try your best. You can stop and take a break if you need to. Just let me know. If you decide at any point that you’d like to stop, or that you don’t want to do one particular game, that’s okay too. Do you understand? Do you have any questions? Are you ready to start? Consent # Question Options Skips Q1 Did the child provide verbal consent? 1 = Yes 2 = No 31 Module 7 – Classroom Observation (TEACH) The 4th grade class selected in Module 1 will be recorded. Enumerator Note: The coding of the lesson will not take place in the field. Only the placement of the camera to record the lesson and the supplemental questions need to be carried out in the field. Section A: Placing the Camera to Record the Lesson Enumerator Note: The camera should be placed so that it can easily tape the main chalkboard or audiovisual device, the teacher, and some of the students in a single master shot. The students are seen from behind, and the camera will most likely have to zoom in to frame the front of the room. You want to avoid having students sitting directly in front of the camera because they will block your view. If you find a very good position but a student is in your way, you might want to consider asking the teacher if it is OK to ask the student to move. The film needs to provide a holistic picture of what is happening in the classroom between a teacher and all of the students in that classroom, not just a particular set of students for an extended period of time. Section B: Retrieving the Camera Enumerator Note: Return to the classroom a few minutes before the end of the lesson (45-55 minutes later). Retrieve the camera, stop recording, and proceed to gather the data under section C of this module.
