The Trust School Programme is a national level education transformation programme that aims to encourage the involvement of private sectors in efforts to boost the quality of national education through the improvement of school management system, educational delivery methods, and teaching and learning environment in schools. There are four standards forming the framework of this programme known as Trust School Standards and Practices (TSSP). However, research on TSSP is less conducted than the research on Educational Quality Practice Standards. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate a measurement instrument that can be used to measure the effectiveness of TSSP implementation in all Trust Schools in Malaysia. This instrument was developed based on Systems Theory by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy and adapted from the Malaysian Education Quality Standard Wave 2 (SKPMg2) to measure the TSSP constructs. The instrument was assessed by six experts for its validity. The score given by the experts to each item was accumulated and analysed using Content Validity Index. The result of the analysis showed that, the total value of all items was high with an expert agreement percentage of 90.3%. This study involved 100 teachers from three Trust Schools in Perak and Terengganu. Data from the questionnaires were then processed using IBM SPSS software to determine the level of reliability of the questionnaire items through internal consistency method. The Alpha Cronbach's value obtained was above 0.85 which was high.This study has proven that this instrument is capable in measuring the effectiveness of Trust School Standards and Practices in Malaysian Trust Schools.
