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 of Teacher Residency
Programs.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0960.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 637.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 394.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED)'s Institute of
Education Sciences (IES) requests clearance for data collection
activities to support a study of teacher residency programs. Teacher
residency programs aim to better prepare new teachers by combining
education coursework with extensive on-the-job training. Program
participants complete a full-year apprenticeship, or ``residency,''
under the supervision of an experienced mentor teacher before they
become teachers of record. The programs help meet the needs of their
partner districts by preparing teachers to fill shortages in high-needs
schools and subjects. They offer financial support for residents in
exchange for a commitment to teach for at least three to five years in
the district, in an effort to improve teacher retention. This financial
support may also help expand the pool of teacher candidates by
encouraging people to enter the profession who might be deterred by the
cost of a traditional teacher preparation program. This second request
covers additional data collection activities for the study to examine
program outcomes. A prior request (1850-0960, approved 4/26/2021)
covered the collection of classroom rosters from schools to support
random assignment of students to participating teachers.
