DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
[This should include a detailed description of the data, how it was collected/created, any specialist software needed to view the data]

This dataset contains:
This data set contains anonymised, scanned individual participant responses to a bespoke questionnaire designed to measure interventionist fidelity in the delivery of a precision teaching intervention. Questionnaires consisted of two questions which asked participants how many children they had delivered the intervention to and for how long. There were then 16 multiple choice questions that sought to assess the degree to which the participants' delivery of the intervention accorded with the steps outlined in the training. Questions were included on how the focus of the PT intervention was identified, how aim rates were set, how the daily intervention was structured, and how performance was measured, recorded, and reviewed. For each question, each participant was either scored correct or incorrect and received a mark of one or zero. However, for four questions (6, 8, 17 and 18) there was more than one correct answer: on these questions, participants did not have to circle all of the correct responses, however if they gave an incorrect response they did not receive a mark, even if they also gave a correct response. If responses indicated that a participant had not completed that aspect of the intervention they received a score of zero. The maximum fidelity score a participant could achieve was 16.

Also included in this data set are the anonymised transcripts of individual participant responses to semi structured interviews conducted find the primary researcher. These interviews were conducted individually in accordance with the below interview protocol however it should be notised that in accordance with a semi structured interview format additional questions were asked when they arose in the course of the interview. these records were transcribed buy a transcription service an
