ASQ-SE-2 Screening - Standard Ed Knowledge Base

How to Import Your Data

ASQ:SE-2 is not administered in Standard Education. Your early childhood staff run the screening in ASQ Online, and you send us the export. There is no template to fill in — export your results and send the file exactly as it downloads.

Before You Export

In each child's profile in ASQ Online, put the child's district student number in the Alternate ID field. That is how we match each screening to the right student in your dashboards.

If you can't populate Alternate ID, send the file anyway — we will work with what the export contains.

Export Steps

A Program Administrator in ASQ Online runs the export:

Select Child Profiles from the top menu.
From the Export drop-down, choose Screening Data Only.
Tick Entire Program to include every child.
Click Export, then Save. The file downloads as a zip.

If a label looks different on your screen, ASQ Online support can point you to it.

Sending the File

Upload the zip exactly as it downloaded, through the File Uploader in the portal:

Log in to portal.standardeducation.com.
Select File Uploader.
Choose the zip file and click Upload.

Don't open and re-save the export

Opening the export in Excel and saving it again can silently reformat the dates, which breaks the match between a screening and the child it belongs to. Send the zip as it came out of ASQ Online.

Use the File Uploader, not email

ASQ:SE-2 exports contain child-identifying information. Upload them through the File Uploader rather than attaching them to an email or sharing them from a personal file-sharing account.

We take it from there. The export also includes past screenings and caregiver details — we skip what we already have, and we do not load personal information about caregivers.

Overview

The ASQ-SE-2 (Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional, 2nd Edition) is a developmental screening tool for young children, typically used in PreK and early childhood programs. It measures social-emotional competence and identifies children who may need further evaluation.

ASQ-SE-2 is a published assessment instrument (not built by Standard Education). Your early childhood staff administer the questionnaire, and results are imported into Standard Education for reporting and analysis.

How It Works

Caregivers or teachers complete age-specific questionnaires about a child's social-emotional behaviors. The ASQ-SE-2 covers multiple age intervals (e.g., 48-month, 60-month questionnaires). Each questionnaire contains approximately 30-36 questions about the child's social interactions, autonomy, compliance, communication, and emotional expression. Each question also includes a "concern" indicator where the respondent can flag additional worries.

Scoring

Each child receives a total ASQ-SE-2 score based on their questionnaire responses. The score is compared against an age-specific cutoff score.

Children scoring at or above the cutoff may need further evaluation or referral
Children scoring below the cutoff are showing typical social-emotional development for their age

Cutoff scores vary by age interval. A score of 50 might be above the cutoff for one age group but below it for another. Always interpret scores in the context of the specific questionnaire version the child completed.

Dashboard Views

Standard Education provides ASQ-SE-2 dashboards with detailed reporting:

Summary Dashboard

Total children screened
Risk count table showing how many children are at or above cutoff
Full child list with scores and risk indicators

Age-Interval Detail Views (e.g., 48 Month, 60 Month)

Individual question response distributions (pie charts showing how children answered each question)
Concern indicator distributions for each question
Comments collected on open-ended questions

Outlier Tracking

Count of children flagged as outliers
Lists of children with outlier scores
Children with abnormal response patterns
Data quality indicators (incomplete responses, missing data)

Individual Child View

Detailed view of a single child's responses and score
Accessible by filtering or clicking through from the summary

Filters

You can filter ASQ-SE-2 results by classroom to view results by class or teacher.

Notes and Limitations

ASQ-SE-2 is used primarily for PreK and early childhood programs. It is not applicable to K-12 students.

Not all districts use ASQ-SE-2. This dashboard is only available if your district has configured early childhood screening data.

An anonymized version of the summary dashboard is available for sharing results with stakeholders who should not see individual children's names.

Question-level detail is extensive. The dashboards show response distributions for every question in the questionnaire, which can be helpful for identifying specific areas of concern across your program.

Data quality tools (outlier tracking, incomplete response identification) help ensure the reliability of your screening results.
