Essential organizational supports for early education: The development of a new survey tool to measure organizational conditions

Description:
We present this brief to practitioners and researchers who are interested in measuring the quality of organization-level supports. For all audiences, this brief aims to explain why the early education field would benefit from a measurement system that captures the strength of organizational processes. By providing concrete definitions of the organizational conditions being measured by our new surveys, we encourage practitioners to begin conceptualizing what this may mean for their own work. For other researchers seeking to develop new surveys, this brief provides a roadmap of our rigorous survey development process, whereby we describe our methods for achieving reliable and valid measurement of our intended constructs.
