Student Leadership Measurement Library
This simple one-page questionnaire can be used to uncover differences in teacher and student perceptions, as an activity to open professional development programs related to school climate and safety, or as part of larger school-climate assessments that also include interviews, focus groups and other tools. It also can be adapted for use with parents.

How to Access and Cite
While it is a great resource to kick start conversations, it is critical that you use these frameworks in relation to your context and the prevalent socio-cultural constructs. The texts on this website, pertain to US context and therefore it would be critical to seek out resources that speak truly to the challenges faced by communities in you and your students belong to.
