Abstract: The Social and Character Development (SACD) National Evaluation will evaluate the success of seven school-based interventions designed to promote positive social and character development among elementary school children. The research will determine, through randomized field trials, whether one or more program interventions produce meaningful effects. The study's primary research questions are: (1) Do the SACD interventions affect social-emotional competence, school climate, positive and negative behavior, and academic achievement? (2) For whom, and under what conditions, are the interventions effective? and (3) What is the process by which interventions affect children's behavior? Data collection activities will include the administration of surveys to children, teachers, principals,and primary caregivers; school observations,and school record abstractions over a three year period from 2004- 2005 to 2006-2007. Results from the evaluation will provide educational professionals with the information they need to make informed chaoices about which intervention to adopt.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is no increase in burden - however ROCIS is showing an increase because we went from 1 IC (for the ROCIS migration) to multiple IC's for this submission. There is a reduction in burden hours (a program change of - 7,551) because for this year there will only be one data collection rather than the two data collections that have occurred in the prior years.
