This supplement contains documentation on all the derived variables contained in the TEDS-M educator and future teacher data files. These derived variables were used to report data in the TEDS-M international reports. The variables that constitute the scales and indices are made available as part of the TEDS-M International Database to be used in secondary analyses. This supplement has three sections: Section 1: Educator Questionnaire; Section 2: Future Teacher Questionnaire (Parts B and D); and Section 3: Future Teacher Knowledge Assessments (Part C). In each section the variable name given to the derived variable is provided first, followed by the variable names of the variables used to construct the derived variable. The variables that were used to derive the indices and scales are presented in the order they appear in the instruments. The following information is provided for each derived variable: (1) Variable Name: The name of the derived variable; (2) Description: A description of the variable content or domain; (3) Procedure: A procedural description of how the derived variable was computed; and (4) Source: The source variables used to derive the scale or index.
