A psychometric study with more than 2,800 upper-elementary-age students examined the reliability and factorial validity of the My Class Inventory-Short Form (MCI-SF). Factor analytic and structural equation modeling results suggested that the original measure is a less than satisfactory approach to appraise various dimensions of classroom climate. Researchers subsequently tested a revised version of the MCI-SF, showingthatthe 18-item measure with four scales (Cohesion, Competitiveness, Friction, and Satisfaction) was psychometrically sound. Implications for ele-mentary school counseling programs and practices are discussed.
