Title of Collection: Study of the Impact of English Learner
Reclassification Policies.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0974.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,080.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,477.
Abstract: The data collection described in this submission will
assist policymakers in understanding the impact of classification and
reclassification policies that govern students' English learner (EL)
status. Specifically, the study examines (1) whether classification and
reclassification was implemented more consistently across districts
within states after the start of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
and (2) whether classification and reclassification at current
thresholds helps, harms, or is neutral for ELs' and former ELs'
instructional opportunities, experiences, achievement, and attainment.
This revision request adds district and school surveys to the approved
data collection. The surveys will assess how district-level policies,
practices, and procedures influence the impacts of reclassification on
ELs as well as provide valuable descriptive information from districts
and schools on local implementation of policies and practices that may
affect outcomes for ELs. It will complement an existing data collection
(#1850-0974) of student information from state longitudinal data
systems (SLDSs).
