The TRF is designed to obtain teachers’ reports of children’s academic performance, adaptive functioning, and behavioral/emotional problems. Teachers rate the child's academic performance in each subject on a five-point scale ranging from 1 (far below grade level) to 5 (far above grade level). Space is also provided for reporting cognitive and achievement test scores for the child, if available. For adaptive functioning, teachers use a seven-point scale to compare the child to typical pupils for how hard he/she is working, how appropriately he/she is behaving, how much he/she is learning, and how happy he/she is.

The TRF has 118 problem items, of which 93 have counterparts on the CBCL/6-18. The remaining items concern school behaviors that parents would not observe, such as difficulty following directions, disturbs other pupils, and disrupts class discipline. Teachers rate the child for how true each item is now or was within the past two months, using the same three-point response scale as for the CBCL/6-18.

The TRF scoring profile provides raw scores, T scores, and percentiles for Academic Performance, Total Adaptive Functioning, the eight cross-informant syndrome scales and six DSM-oriented scales that are also scored from the CBCL/6-18 and YSR, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems.

Syndromes were based on principal components analyses of 4,437 referred students and were normed on 2,319 nonreferred students.

The ADM Ages 6-18 Module includes the CBCL/6-18, TRF, and YSR, enabling you to compare any combination of 8 forms per child. See our 2002 Catalog for more information. For 1½-to-5-year-olds, preschool teachers and day-care providers can complete the Caregiver-Teacher Report Form for Ages 1½-5 (C-TRF/1½-5).
