Abstract: The Indian Education Professional Development program,
authorized under title VI, part A of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), is designed to increase the
number of, provide training to, and improve the skills of American
Indian or Alaska Natives serving as teachers and school administrators
in local educational agencies that serve a high proportion of American
Indian or Alaska Native students. This is a request for renewal of a
currently approved collection.
Section 7122(h) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7442(h)) requires that
individuals who receive financial assistance through the Indian
Education Professional Development program subsequently complete a
service obligation equivalent to the amount of time for which the
participant received financial assistance. Participants who do not
satisfy the requirements of the regulations must repay all or a pro-
rated part of the cost of assistance, in accordance with 20 U.S.C.
7442(h) and 34 CFR 263.9(a)(3). The regulations in part 263 implement
requirements governing, among other things, the service obligation and
reporting requirements of the participants in the Indian Education
Professional Development program, and repayment of financial assistance
by these participants. In order for the Federal Government to ensure
that the goals of the program are achieved, certain data collection,
recordkeeping, and documentation are necessary.
In addition, GPRA requires Federal agencies to establish
performance measures for all programs, and the Department has
established performance measures for the Indian Education Professional
Development program. Data collection from participants who have
received financial assistance under the Indian Education Professional
Development program is a necessary element of the Department's effort
to evaluate progress on these measures.
The Department tracks participants who are receiving or have
previously received support through the Indian Education Professional
Development program. Participants must sign a payback agreement that
includes contact information. Additionally, the Department receives
information about participants from institutions of higher education
(IHEs) and other eligible grantees when participants are no longer
receiving assistance through the Indian Education Professional
Development program. When the performance period is complete, the
participant data are collected from the grantee and from the
participants.
