Summary

This roundtable will focus on a discussion about the results of an international study in which U.S. versions of psychometrically validated school climate surveys were translated for use in culturally diverse cultural settings. Researchers will share school climate data that was collected with the translated school climate surveys across seven countries: Belgium, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Researchers will identify key differences in student perceptions of climate across these cultural settings, as well as implications of these differences in the practice of school psychology. Participants will enhance their ability to implement culturally informed school improvement efforts.
