Instrument Overview

The Delaware School Surveys are intended to provide schools with useful information for needs assessment, program development, and program evaluation. In developing each of the five scales, a particular focus was on creating valid and reliable self-report tools that schools can use to assess (a) program goals commonly associated with the SWPBIS and SEL approaches to school discipline (see Bear, 2020; Bear, Sprague, Whitcomb, & Bear, 2019; Whitcomb, Elias, & Blank, 2015), as currently implemented in most schools in Delaware, and (b) bullying prevention programs, which are mandated by Delaware state law and thus implemented to one degree or another in all schools.
