Instrument Overview

Students also completed the CHKS core module, a confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency. The module is administered schoolwide to students and provides insight into health risks and behaviors, school connectedness, school climate, protective factors, and school violence experiences. Students in Grades 9-12 completed the high school form and students in Grades 7-8 completed the nearly identical middle school form. The CHKS module is part of a comprehensive data-driven decision-making process on improving school climate and student learning environment for overall school improvements (see https://calschls.org).
