AB School–family collaboration is a key factor in education for sustainability. However,rigorous evaluation of this relationship has been scarcely addressed from an empiricalperspective. This study aimed to design and validate a scale to measure school–family collaboration in the field of environmental education. Based on a conceptualreview, four key dimensions were defined: strategies and communication, familyparticipation, impact on ecological habits, and implementation barriers. Contentvalidation was conducted using the Delphi method with a panel of 15 experts. Thescale was subsequently administered to 531 participants (312 teachers and 219family members) from educational centers in various regions of Spain. Exploratoryand confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a robust internal structure (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.841; Comparative Fit Index = 0.945; Root Mean Square Error ofApproximation = 0.062). Internal reliability, assessed through Cronbach’s alphacoefficient, was high (total α = .91), with consistent values across all dimensions(α > .80). The results demonstrate that the scale has structural validity and empiricalreliability, making it a useful tool for future research, institutional evaluation processes,and the development of educational policies focused on socio-environmental coresponsibility.
