anged from 37 to 117, with high scores indicating favorable teacher attitudes toward
social and emotional program implementation.
The three additional informational questions were not administered to teachers, as
they provided this information in a brief demographic questionnaire. The final six items
of the TASEL were not administered to teachers because no additional Head Start
administrative leader monitored program training or implementation (as dictated by the
instructions for these specific questions). The Administrative Support subscale item The
researcher has scheduled specific times for the delivery of SDP lessons was not
administered to teachers because they were not assigned specific times for intervention
implementation. Rather, teachers were allowed to implement the intervention at a time
convenient for them given previously established classroom routines. The single-item
Curriculum Priority subscale (including the item The Director gives more importance to
learning academics than learning social and emotional skills) was not administered to
teachers because the lead researcher, rather than the program director, was primarily
responsible for intervention implementation.
Finally, wording of some TASEL items was altered slightly to better reflect the
structure of intervention implementation in the current study (e.g., the term
‗Principal/Director‘ was replaced with the term ‗Researcher‘ to refer to the lead
researcher rather than the Head Start program director because the lead researcher was
primarily responsible for intervention implementation).
