Abstract: The U.S. Department of
Education (ED) information collection
package, OMB Control number 1890–
0004, which expires on October 31,
2007, currently includes three distinct
information collection instruments: the
ED 524 Budget Form, the ED 524B Grant
Performance Report and the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in the Education
Department General Administrative
Regulations (EDGAR). As part of the
renewal of these instruments, ED is
requesting that each of these
information collection instruments be
approved under separate OMB control
numbers. The ED 524B will retain the
1890–0004 control number. In this
information collection package, ED is
requesting a two-year renewal of the ED
524B. In separate information collection
packages, ED is requesting a new OMB
control number for the ED 524, Budget
Information Form and Instructions and
a new OMB control number for the
EDGAR administrative requirements.
The ED 524B form and instructions
are used in order for grantees to meet ED
deadline dates for submission of
performance reports for Department
discretionary grant programs. Recipients
of multi-year discretionary grants must
submit an annual performance report for
each year funding has been approved in
order to receive a continuation award.
The annual performance report should
demonstrate whether substantial
progress has been made toward meeting
the approved goals and objectives of the
project. ED program offices may also
require recipients of ‘‘forward funded’’
grants that are awarded funds for their
entire multi-year project up-front in a
single grant award to submit the ED
524B on an annual basis. In addition,
ED program offices may also require
recipients to use the ED 524B to submit
their final performance reports to
demonstrate project success, impact and
outcomes. In both the annual and final
performance reports, grantees are
required to provide data on established
performance measures for the grant
program (e.g., Government Performance
and Results Act measures) and on
project performance measures that were
included in the grantee’s approved grant
application. The ED 524B also contains
a number of questions related to project
financial data such as Federal and nonFederal expenditures and indirect cost
information.

Abstract: Algebra I has emerged in
recent years as a critical gatekeeper
course, necessary to prepare students for
the rigorous mathematics curriculum
required for high school graduation and
successful postsecondary experiences.
Therefore, providing Algebra I teachers
with the very best resources and
professional development to ensure
effective instruction has become a
priority in Kentucky and across the
nation. This research study is designed
to test, through a rigorous experimental
design, an approach that combines
online and technology enhanced
instruction with face-to-face classroom
instruction to address this need. This
hybrid or ‘‘blended’’ approach has
shown promising results in Kentucky
and elsewhere.

Teachers who receive the intervention
in this study will apply the hybrid
approach using the Kentucky Virtual
High School’s (KVHS) online course
curriculum in Algebra I. They will be
supported by extensive professional
development in hybrid instruction and
research-based practices for teaching
Algebra I. The KVHS course is fully
aligned with national and new state
standards for Algebra instruction. The
results on improved instructional
practices, classroom quality, and
student learning will be compared to
those in control sites in which Algebra
I instruction will continue as it has with
traditional classroom instruction.
Participating schools will be
randomly assigned to either an
intervention group or a control group in
Spring 2008 and participating teachers
will assume the intervention or control
status assigned to their school. Baseline
data collection for both intervention and
control groups will begin in the fall of
2008, and continue each semester
through spring 2010. Participating
teachers in the intervention schools will
begin professional development in May
2008, and will continue with the
facilitated face-to-face online support of
a master teacher as they implement the
intervention in 2008–2009. Teachers
will continue to have access to all of the
online resources for instruction in
2009–2010, as well as on-demand
support from KVHS. Results of the
study will be made available following
a technical review by the U.S.
Department of Education, Institute of
Education Sciences.
