Teacher Version of the My Class Inventory-Short Form: An Accountability Tool for Elementary School Counselors
Sink, Christopher A.; Spencer, Lisa R.
Professional School Counseling, v11 n2 p129-139 Dec 2007
This article reports on a psychometric study examining the validity and reliability of the My Class Inventory-Short Form for Teachers, an accountability measure for elementary school counselors to use as they evaluate aspects of their school counseling programs. As a companion inventory to the student version of the My Class Inventory-Short Form (Sink & Spencer, 2005), this instrument assesses teachers' perceptions of the classroom climate as they relate to five scales: over-all student satisfaction with the learning experience, peer relations, difficulty level of classroom materials, student competitiveness, and school counselor impact on the learning environment. Implications for practice are included. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
