institutionalized. The NHES targets
these populations using specific
screening and sampling procedures. The
NHES design also yields estimates for
subgroups of interest for each child and
adult survey. In addition to providing
cross-sectional estimates, the NHES is
designed to produce estimates from
repeated cross sections to measure
changes in key statistics. NHES surveys
were conducted approximately every
other year from 1991 through 2007
using random digit dial (RDD)
methodology; beginning in 2012 NHES
began collecting data by mail to improve
response rates. This submission seeks
clearance to repeat the child topical
surveys conducted in 2012, Parent and
Family Involvement in Education (PFI)
and Early Childhood Program
Participation (ECPP), to begin to
measure changes over time with the
new methodology. It also seeks
clearance to conduct the first adult
topical survey in NHES since 2005, the
Credentials for Work Survey (CWS), and
to pilot an adult topical survey for
NHES:2017, the Training for Work
Survey (TWS). The adult surveys were
developed in conjunction with the
Interagency Working Group on
Expanded Measures of Enrollment and
Attainment (GEMEnA) and the CWS
was pilot tested in the 2014 NHES
Feasibility Study. Data collection
approaches that were most successful at
balancing the need to limit overall bias,
respondent burden, and cost in the
Feasibility Study will be used for the
2015 data collection.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The School
Climate Transformation Grant
Program—Local Educational Agency
Grants provides competitive grants to
local educational agencies (LEAs) to
develop, enhance, or expand systems of
support for, and technical assistance to,
schools implementing an evidencebased multi-tiered behavioral
framework for improving behavioral
outcomes and learning conditions for all
students.
Background:
Although schools have long attempted
to address issues of discipline,
disruptive and problem behavior,
violence, and bullying, the vast majority
of our Nation’s schools have not
implemented comprehensive, effective
supports that address the full range of
students’ social, emotional, and
behavioral needs.1

A report issued by the U.S. Secret
Service and the Department of
Education following the Columbine
shooting found that one of the most
effective ways schools can reduce
violence and bullying is to improve a
school’s climate and thereby increase
trust and communication between
students and staff.2 Research
demonstrates that the implementation of
an evidence-based, multi-tiered
behavioral framework, such as positive
behavioral interventions and supports
(PBIS), can help improve overall school
climate and safety.3 A key aspect of this
multi-tiered approach is providing
differing levels of support and
interventions to students based on their
needs. Certain supports involve the
whole school (e.g., consistent rules,
consequences, and reinforcement of
appropriate behavior), with more
intensive supports for groups of
students exhibiting at-risk behavior and
individualized services for students
who continue to exhibit troubling
behavior.
When a multi-tiered behavioral
framework has been implemented with
fidelity, studies have found the
following statistically significant results:
An increase in perceived school safety,
reductions in overall problem behaviors,
reductions in bullying behaviors,4 and
reductions in office discipline referrals
and suspensions.5 Studies have also
found a correlation between the use of
multi-tiered behavioral frameworks and
improved social skills.6 Emerging
evidence also links implementing a
multi-tiered behavioral framework with
improved academic achievement.7 In
