Abstract
This chapter discusses conceptual and methodological problems that arise when teachers' perceptions are used to measure dimensions of organizational structure and climate in American high schools. Using data from a survey of approximately 10,000 teachers in nearly 300 schools that participated in the High School and Beyond Study, five measures of high school organization and climate are constructed. These data then are analyzed using a two-level hierarchical linear model as described by Raudenbush and Bryk (1986). The analysis investigates the psychometric properties of the measures and develops a model of the sources of within and between-school variation in teachers' perceptions of school organization and climate.
