Abstract

Enochs and Riggs (1990) developed the Teachers’ Efficacy and Beliefs Instrument (TEBI) to evaluate educators’ judgements about their ability to evoke student success; however, there has been inadequate psychometrics conducted on this instrumentation. This study provides a psychometrically sound instrument development and construct validation process for our modified version of TEBI. The qualitative data indicated that item revisions were required before quantitative data collection. The modified TEBI measure will inform the curriculum Pre-K STEM, nutrition, and literacy programming for an NIH-funded grant.
