Abstract	Teachers and administrators across the United States struggle to maintain safe, civil, and community- and achievement-oriented schools. Disciplinary actions (such as school suspensions) and security measures (such as school resource officers/security guards and security cameras) are some approaches commonly used in schools to try to improve school climate and safety. Another approach is to improve the socioemotional skills of students and educators to foster a more positive school climate and build positive relationships among all individuals in schools. The purpose of this project was to implement a social and emotional learning (SEL) program in a school district and evaluate its effects on school climate and safety throughout the district. Jackson Public School District, in Jackson, Mississippi, partnered with the Tools for Life® Corporation to implement its SEL curriculum in randomly selected elementary and middle schools in the district in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years. The RAND Corporation served as evaluators for the project, documenting the implementation of Tools for Life and its costs, and assessing the program's impact on school climate and safety. This study represents the first district-wide randomized controlled trial of the Tools for Life program. This report is the technical appendix accompanying the main research report, "Social and Emotional Learning, School Climate, and School Safety: A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluation of Tools for Life® in Elementary and Middle Schools." Six appendixes are included herein: (1) Randomization Process to Select Treatment and Control Schools; (2) Student Survey Items (Fall 2017); (3) Technical Appendix for Implementation Study of Six Focal Schools; (4) Data Collection Protocols for Implementation Analysis; (5) Auxiliary Tables; and (6) Interview Protocols for Cost Analysis. [This study was undertaken with RAND Social and Economic Well-Being. For the full report, see ED605321.] (ERIC).
