Hamada, Roger S.; Tomikawa, Sandra
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v46 n4 p1083-93 Win 1986
The Windward Rating Scale (WRS), a locally-developed teacher rating scale of student behavior, was evaluated for potential use as a screening measure. Pre-certification ratings of 720 learning disabled students and non-special education students in grades K-6 were analyzed. Psychometric properties and diagnostic efficiency of the WRS were examined.
