Frequency: Annually.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions.
Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour
Burden:
Responses: 450.
Burden Hours: 3,510.
Abstract: This package is a revision
and contains instructions and the form
necessary for grantees and contractors
supported under the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
Personnel Development to Improve
Services and Results for Children with
Disabilities, CFDA No. 84.325. Data
obtained are used to evaluate and
monitor the implementation of IDEA
and for Congressional reporting.
Analysis of these data will be used in
the following ways: (a) To inform the
activities and priorities specific to
personnel preparation conducted by the
U.S Department of Education; (b) to
determine variation in personnel
preparation and factors related to that
variation; and (c) to evaluate the
outcomes of the IDEA and the Office of
Special Education Programs’ (OSEP)
performance measures under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) and the Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART). OSEP
revisions have: (a) Added six items to
the data collection instrument to collect
data required for reporting under the
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
PART (these additional items will only
be requested for students that have
completed the preparation program and
include data on their knowledge and
skill attainment and on their highly
qualified teacher status (or qualified for
paraprofessionals, or fully certified for
related service providers and early
intervention service providers); (b)
revised the race and ethnicity items to
reflect current OMB policy; (c) changed
collection to better account for all
students that benefit from the grant, as
requested by both grantees and OSEP.
OSEP will now collect data on all
students that participated in grant
supported preparation, not just those
students that received direct funding.
This change will increase the number of
students that grantees will enter data on.
To address this change, all text limiting
responses to those students ‘‘receiving
grant support’’ have been removed; and
(d) enhanced instructions for a few
items to make the form more userfriendly and diminish response
ambiguity.
