California State University East Bay


Educational Psychology


Since 2007 WestEd's Health and Human Development Program has been collaborating with the Educational Psychology Department at California State University – East Bay, to help schools and student-counselors better understand and use the School Connectedness (RYDM) results from the CHKS.The School of Counseling and School Psychology programs, led by Dr. Rolla E. Lewis, and Dr. Greg Jennings, have incorporated coursework on the CHKS into their program and require their CSU professionals-in-training to access and use their school’s RYDM/CHKS results to inform current school faculty and/or to guide a major school improvement project.

Examples of these projects are displayed below.
