SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Clearance for a CrossProject Evaluation of the National
Science Foundation’s Directorate for
Education and Human Resources’ Local
Systemic Change through Teacher
Enhancement Program (LSC).
Title of Collection
OMB Control No.: 3145–0161.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Abstract: The National Science
Foundation (NSF) requests a three-year
extension for evaluation and data
collection (e.g., surveys and interviews)
from participants in projects funded by
the Local Systemic Change (LSC)
through Teacher Enhancement (TE)
program. This recurring study or ‘‘crossProject Evaluation’’ was most recently
approved through July 2005 (OMB 345–
0161). The LSC program is a large-scale
effort to modify the nature of teacher inservice training (also called professional
development) provided to science and
mathematics teachers in a large number
of school districts across the United
States. NSF provided each individual
project with a grant(s) of up to $6
million.
Data collection from the NSF-funded
LSC projects has been going on for a
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
long number of years. The surveys and
interview protocols are part of a
longitudinal data collection used for
program-wide monitoring and
evaluation of the remaining LSC
projects. The universe of LSC projects
the last time this collection was
renewed was 72. The current universe
for this study of LSC projects is 15. NSF
does not anticipating making new
project awards under the LSC program.
As in the past each of the projects will
administer teacher and principal
questionnaires (surveys) at appropriate
times during the school year based on
each the evaluation’s design.
Horizon Research, Inc. maintains
survey responses in a database designed
to provide information and reports on
LSC projects for individual project
accountability and for overall
assessment to help NSF judge program
effectiveness. Horizon’s data analysis
and reports are useful both to the
projects themselves for self-assessments
and to the NSF in order to help to
measure the LSC program’s
performance. In particular, NSF uses
these data to respond to requests from
Committees of Visitors, Congress and
the Office of Management and Budget,
particularly as related to the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) and the Program
Effectiveness Rating Tool (PART).
Horizon’s reports to NSF deal with
the characteristics and performance of
the LSC program and include tables and
charts generated from the database. The
LSC study’s broad questions addressed
by data analysis include (but are not
limited to):
What is the impact of the LSC projects
on science and mathematics curriculum,
instruction, and assessment? How do
participant reports of instructional
practice change over the course of the
LSC projects? How do participant
reports of assessment practice change
over the course of the projects? How do
teacher and principal beliefs about
effective science and mathematics
instruction change over the course of
the NSF-funding for the projects? What
is the overall quality of the professional
development activities? How do
participants rate various aspects of
professional development experiences
provided by the projects? What is the
extent of teacher involvement in these
projects?
Respondents: Individuals or
households, and not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 5,650.
Burden on the Public: 1,870 hours.
