Answer 1

Here are the links for what I found about the Conners.  I filled this out when my child was tested, it's easy to do and was accurate for us.

Answer 2

The Connors' is a rating scale that is used to help diagnose attention deficit disorder (AD/HD) and other related disorders. There are teacher's and parent versions. This scale is typically used if there are concerns regarding a child's ability to focus, attend, complete tasks or remain seated. These rating scales would only be a portion of the evaluation, which would usually include tests of academic achievement, a measure of cognitive ability (in most states) and other assessments as dictated by the questions and concerns regarding a child's educational difficulties.

Answer 3

The Connors is typically not something that schools initiatiate.  They can fill out if requested by parent of a student and it is sent to them by a medical professional.  Since it is for ADHD it would need to be interperted by a medical professional.
