Introduction to ED School Climate Surveys (EDSCLS) New Benchmarked Scale Scores
The National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Healthy Students, is pleased to host an important webinar that introduces the most substantive change to the EDSCLS platform since its release in 2016.
All versions of the EDSCLS, released since December 2017, have changed how the platform reports scale scores. Now all versions of the EDSCLS released since December 2017 report scale scores relative to psychometric benchmarks to help users interpret the meaning of their data.
During the Webinar, Anne Diffenderffer, the EDSCLS Help Desk Manager, and Pia Peltola, NCSSLE’s Survey Specialist, will introduce the new benchmarked scale scores. Specifically, they will:
describe benefits of the new benchmarked scale scores;
provide an overview of the three benchmark levels;
review changes to the scale score reporting and explain the implications; and
describe options for converting “legacy” scale scores to new benchmarked scale scores.
Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.
Audience
This Webinar is most appropriate for state-, district-, and school-level staff who are responsible for collecting and interpreting school climate data using the EDSCLS.
