Abstract
As formal, nonformal, and informal educational settings work to improve participant involvement, understanding perceptions of physical and digital spaces can add insights for improving specific aspects of any educational setting. This exploratory study examines the use of the Washoe County School District [WCSD] family-friendly school assessment tools for gauging the extent to which school environments welcome families. The WCSD family-friendly school assessment tools consist of the walk-through rating scale (17 items), the website rating scale (11 items), and the phone survey (10 items). Metrics of inter-rater reliability (IRR) included percent agreements and Cohen’s kappa. Results from the walk-through rating scale and website rating scale reported good agreement. Inter-rater reliability for phone survey items was lower than for walk-through and website categories. Implications for this study focus on applicability of these tools within formal, informal, and nonformal educational settings.
