School Climate Survey Compendium | National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE)

As States, districts and schools explore measuring school climate, one of the biggest questions they have is about which survey to use. It can be difficult to know which surveys are valid and reliable, what they measure, and which are free.

NCSSLE, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education, has compiled a list of valid and reliable school climate survey batteries to support States, districts and schools as they explore which school climate survey to administer in their community. Below you can learn more about the survey compendium, including how to nominate a survey to be included, and filter the list using the faceted search to find what you need. (Alternatively, a summary table [PDF] of each survey by respondent type is also available.)
