This technical report presents a comprehensive analysis of the MCIE Inclusive Education Beliefs Survey, a tool developed by the Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education (MCIE) to assess school staff attitudes toward inclusive education. Used in over 200 schools, the survey helps leadership teams understand beliefs about students with disabilities, educator roles, and personal efficacy in inclusive classrooms.
The 2025 report applies advanced psychometric methods, including Rasch modeling and item response theory, to validate the survey’s structure and reliability. Findings confirm the survey’s strength as a three-dimensional instrument with high internal consistency, offering valuable insights for guiding professional learning and systemic school transformation.
Ideal for educators, researchers, and school leaders committed to inclusive practices.
