Abstract: This submission requests approval of a third year of select data collection activities that will be used to support the Impact Evaluation of Training in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Behavior (MTSS-B). The evaluation will estimate the impact on school staff practices, school climate, and student outcomes of providing training and support in the MTSS-B framework plus universal (Tier I) positive behavior supports and targeted (Tier II) interventions across two years. The third year of data collection will provide information on sustainability, the capacity of schools to continue implementation after the study-supported training and support are complete, as well as district efforts to scale-up the intervention in other schools.

Short Statement: An earlier submission (1850-0921) attained OMB clearance for data collection activities across 2 school years (2015-2016 and 2016-2017) that are now complete. This submission now requests clearance to extend 4 interviews (administrator, team leader, student, and staff) and district records data collection for an additional year (Spring 2018). The previously approved total annualized burden (now complete), was 5,909 hours. These activities required an estimated 12,343 annual respondents. This package now requests clearance for 457 hours, the time to complete select data collection activities for a third year, across 2,568 respondents. With the reduction of the completed annual burden (-5,909 hours across -12,343 respondents), the additional burden (457 hours across 2,568 respondents) results in a program change of a reduction of 5,452 annual burden hours and a reduction of 9,775 respondents.
