Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The School Climate Inventory-Revised (SCI-R) was originally developed to determine the effect of school reform efforts. Dean Butler and Martha Alberg (Butler & Alberg, 1991) developed SCI-R for the Center for Research in Educational Policy (CREP) at the University of Memphis. It was published in 1989, and revised in 2002. According to the authors, the survey provides formative feedback to school leaders on personnel perceptions of climate and identifies potential interventions specifically for the climate factors that hinder a school’s effectiveness. The instrument surveys faculty and is intended to be administered in a group setting over a 20-minute period. The measured constructs are order, leadership, environment, involvement, instruction, expectations, and collaboration.
