SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Impact Evaluation to Inform the Teacher and
School Leader Incentive Program.
OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 73.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 45.
Abstract: This study will meet the Congressional mandate to
evaluate the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) by
including two evaluation components: (1) Descriptive study of Teacher
and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) grantees', and (2)
Implementation, impact, and cost-effectiveness study of designating one
or more ``teacher leaders'' as coaches in schools. It will provide
updated information about the TSL program to help ED understand which
strategies grantees are using and how effective a commonly-used
strategy--designating teacher leaders to provide coaching to other
teachers--is in improving educator effectiveness and ultimately student
achievement.
