PSOF Item Map

The instrument items this module trains.

Each PSOF observation tool item below maps directly to the classroom signals taught in Step 2. Calibration on this module authorizes you to rate these items.

  • Item 6.1

    Appears tense or on edge (for example, hyper-alert, scanning, or difficulty settling).

  • Item 6.2

    Overreacts to unexpected sounds or changes (such as visible startle or flinch responses).

  • Item 6.3

    Has difficulty relaxing or settling after stress or busy transitions.
