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

that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Implementation of
Title I/II Program Initiatives.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 12,321.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 6,573.
Abstract: The Implementation of Title
I/II Program Initiatives study will
examine the implementation of policies
promoted through the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) at the
state, district and school levels, in four
core areas: state content standards,
aligned assessments, accountability and
school turnaround, and development of
effective teachers and leaders.
The purpose of this new data
collection is to provide policy makers
with detailed information on the
progress being made on the core policies
promoted by Title I and Title II, and the
recent granting of ESEA Flexibility to
states. Although other research studies
cover similar topics on recent federal
education policy, the breadth of
research questions and the depth of
responses from all SEAs and three levels
of nationally representative samples,
sets the Title I/II study apart from other
studies.
This study will rely on information
collected from existing sources, for
which there are no respondents or
burden, and on a new set of surveys in
order to address the study’s research
questions. Extant data sources include
(a) the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP); (b)
EDFacts data; (c) information about
teacher preparation and certification
programs and policies; and (d) state
documents.
The new surveys of states and
districts will begin in 2013 and the
surveys of schools (principals) and
teachers will begin in 2014. All
respondents will have the opportunity
to complete an electronic (email or webbased) survey (or paper survey, if
preferred). The survey respondents are
described briefly below.

State Surveys. The state survey will
be sent to the chief state school officer
in each of the 50 states and the District
of Columbia. The state surveys will be
administered using an electronic
instrument divided into modules
corresponding to the four core areas.
District Surveys. The district survey
will be sent to school superintendents
from a nationally representative sample
of 570 school districts. The district
survey will be web-based and
modularized, corresponding to the four
core areas, to allow for completion by
one or multiple respondents.
School Surveys. The school survey
will be sent to principals from a
nationally representative sample of
1,300 schools. The school survey will be
web-based and address issues in the
four core areas.
Teacher Surveys. The teacher survey
will be sent to a nationally
representative sample of teachers
selected from the sampled schools. A
total of 9,100 teachers will be asked to
complete a web-based survey that
addresses issues in the four core areas.
Teacher Rosters. Principals from
sampled schools will be asked to
provide a comprehensive list of teachers
in their schools, which will be used as
the sampling frame for the teacher
sample. Principals will be asked to
identify their school’s grade span and
list all teachers along with their email
address, main grade, subjects taught,
(e.g., Reading/English/Language Arts,
Mathematics, Science and Other), and
whether the teacher teaches a class in
which students are tested for
accountability requirements under
ESEA.
