Abstrakt: A study conducted by researchers from the University of Miami has validated a new observational instrument called the Health Environment Rating Scale-Early Childhood Consultation-Classroom (HERS-ECC-C). This instrument measures the quality of the classroom environment in early care and education centers participating in a mental health consultation program in a diverse area of the southeastern United States. The study found that the HERS-ECC-C demonstrated good reliability and identified three factors that capture critical aspects of a high-quality classroom environment. The researchers concluded that the HERS-ECC-C can be used to evaluate programs and classrooms engaged in mental health consultation professional development interventions.
