Abstract：
Organizational capacity building-the process of developing leadership, collecting and analyzing data, building buy-in, and implementing programming-is foundational to effectively changing schools, and frequently relies on technical assistance. This study employed a quasi-experimental, repeated measured design to evaluate the role of technical assistance provided through Safe School Certification model in improving school climate. Schools worked through an eight-element framework, using data from a sample of six middle and high schools in Washington, D.C. that completed data collection in all years of the evaluation. Students in schools receiving technical assistance for implementing the SSC Framework had more positive changes in perceptions of school climate than students in schools that did not receive support, but those differences were small. The results from this study offer limited evidence that providing schools with technical assistance to improve organizational capacity is associated with more positive student perceptions of school climate.
摘要：
组织能力建设-发展领导力的过程，收集和分析数据，建筑买入，实施编程-是有效改变学校的基础，并经常依赖技术援助。这项研究采用了准实验，重复测量设计，以评估通过安全学校认证模型提供的技术援助在改善学校氛围中的作用。学校通过八要素框架工作，使用来自华盛顿六所初中和高中的样本数据，在评估的所有年份中完成数据收集的哥伦比亚特区。接受技术援助以实施南南合作框架的学校学生对学校气氛的看法比没有获得支持的学校学生有更积极的变化,但是这些差异很小。这项研究的结果提供了有限的证据，表明为学校提供技术援助以提高组织能力与学生对学校氛围的更积极看法有关。
