Title of Collection: International Early
Learning Study (IELS) 2018 Field Test
Recruitment.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 618.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 234.
Abstract: The International Early
Learning Study (IELS), scheduled to be
conducted in 2018, is a new study
sponsored by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), an
intergovernmental organization of
industrialized countries. In the United
States, the IELS is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). The IELS focuses on young
children and their cognitive and noncognitive skills and competencies as
they transition to primary school. The
IELS is designed to examine: children’s
early learning and development in a
broad range of domains, including
social emotional skills as well as
cognitive skills; the relationship
between children’s early learning and
children’s participation in early
childhood education and care (ECEC);
the role of contextual factors, including
children’s individual characteristics and
their home backgrounds and
experiences, in promoting young

children’s growth and development; and
how early learning varies across and
within countries prior to beginning
primary school. In 2018, in the
participating countries, including the
United States, the IELS will assess
nationally-representative samples of
children ages 5.0–5.5 years (in
kindergarten in the United States)
through direct and indirect measures,
and will collect contextual data about
their home learning environments,
ECEC histories, and demographic
characteristics. The IELS will measure
young children’s knowledge, skills, and
competencies in both cognitive and
non-cognitive domains, including
language and literacy, mathematics and
numeracy, executive function/selfregulation, and social emotional skills.
This assessment will take place as
children are transitioning to primary
school and will provide data on how
U.S. children entering kindergarten
compare with their international peers
on skills deemed important for later
success. To prepare for the main study
that will take place in SeptemberNovember 2018, the IELS countries will
conduct a field test in the fall of 2017
to evaluate newly developed assessment
instruments and questionnaires and to
test the study operations. The U.S. IELS
field test data collection will occur from
September to October, 2017. In order to
meet the international data collection
schedule for the fall 2017 field test, field
test respondent recruiting activities
must begin by May 2017. This request
is to conduct recruitment activities for
the 2017 IELS field test.

Title of Collection: Impact Study of

Classroom Videos.
OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 3,792.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,633.
Abstract: The goal of this evaluation
is to examine the impact of video-based
observations and feedback on the
classroom practices and student
achievement of novice teachers (in their
first year of teaching) and early career
teachers (in their second through fourth
years of teaching). This study, using a
random assignment design, provides an
important test of whether intensive,
individualized support for teachers
improves their instructional practices
and ultimately student achievement. By
focusing on novice teachers, the study
has the potential to inform both teacher
induction policies and teacher
preparation programs. Examining the
impact of this intervention on novice
and early career teachers can also
inform the effectiveness of providing
individualized feedback as a model for
teacher professional development
programs. The study includes 12
districts and approximately 500 teachers
who will be participating in the study.
