The benchmark tools are designed to be quickly administered and completed. The BESS Teacher Form is 27 items, and is completed in about 3 to 5 minutes (the first few forms completed by a teacher can take up to 5 minutes, and the remaining forms are typically completed more quickly, in about 3 minutes each). The Student Form is 30 items; administration (student filling out form) in a classroom typically takes about 15 minutes. The Prosocial Behavior and Motivation to Learn forms each require one rating per student; a classroom of students can typically be rated in about 20 minutes.
