Title of Collection: Evaluation of the REL Southeast Early Literacy
Toolkit.
OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,330.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 322.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is supporting the
development and evaluation of a toolkit that will support the
implementation of effectively differentiated reading instruction for
students in grades K-3. This toolkit is based on evidence-based
recommendation in the Assisting Students Struggling with Reading:
Response to Intervention (RtI) and Multi-Tier Intervention in the
Primary Grades practice guide. The evaluation will rigorously test the
efficacy of the toolkit in improving explicit instruction, classroom
management, and use of student data as well as student learning
outcomes in grades K-3 English language arts. The evaluation will use a
blocked randomized control trial design in which districts are blocks
and schools are randomly assigned to receive the toolkit or not. The
evaluation will be conducted in 20 Florida schools during the 2025/26
school year.
The evaluation will focus on measuring the toolkit's impact on
three teacher-level outcomes: explicit instruction, classroom
management, and data use to inform instruction during small group time.
The evaluation also will examine the impact of the toolkit on students'
foundational reading skills.
In addition to collecting data to measure teacher and student
outcomes, the evaluation team will collect data to document the
implementation of the toolkit in treatment schools and the service
contrast between treatment and control schools, and to describe the
characteristics of participating schools, teachers, and students at
baseline.
The evaluation will produce a publicly available report that
summarizes evaluation findings. The findings from the evaluation will
inform further refinement of the toolkit, to be released to the public
after the evaluation.
