The Inviting School Survey'sfactor structure and internal consistency are examinedand compared with the Invitational Education Model (Purkey,1978; Purkey & Novak. 1996; Purkey & Schimdt, 1996; Purkey& Stanley, 1991). The Invitational School Survey (ISS) isbased on five areas (5 “Ps”): People, Places, Policies, Processes,and Programs. The ISS purports to assess these qualitiesof the global school climate.
