Learner Objectives

This session will help participants…

1. identify the weaknesses and strengths of current universal screening techniques for behavior.
2. translate findings into research-based standards for effective practice.
3. enhance participants’ knowledge about a freely accessible measure, the BSC.

Description

The Behavior Screening Checklist (BSC) is a universal screening measure that was developed for use in a large diverse urban school district. The present study includes a comprehensive evaluation of the BSC to include: test–retest reliability estimates, estimates of internal consistency using coefficient omega, examination of the factor structure of the measure using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and subsequent bias evaluation analyses.
