PURPOSE(S):
The Defense Medical Surveillance
System (DMSS) supports a systematic
collection, analysis, interpretation, and
reporting of standardized, population
based data for the purposes of
characterizing and countering medical
threats to a population’s health, wellbeing and performance. The Armed
Forces Health Surveillance Center,
which operates the DMSS, routinely
publishes summaries of notifiable
diseases, trends of illnesses of special
surveillance interest and field reports
describing outbreaks and case
occurrences in the Medical Surveillance
Monthly Report, the principal vehicle
for disseminating medical surveillance
information of broad interest. Through
DMSS, the Armed Forces Health
Surveillance Center provides the sole
link between the DoD Serum Repository
and other databases. This repository
contains over 46 million frozen serum
specimens and is the largest of its kind
in the world.

that the Office of Management and

to ‘‘* * * identify and disseminate
information about schools, local
educational agencies, and State
educational agencies that have
effectively developed and implemented
classroom reading programs that meet
the requirements of this subpart
(Reading First)* * *’’. To carry out this
authorized activity, the NIFL is first
conducting a set of case studies,
identifying Schools with Effective
Reading Programs, to be implemented
by a research team from Education
Development Center, Inc. (EDC). The
NIFL then will publish findings from
the case studies as a report and print
and distribute it widely among
educators and administrators working
with children in kindergarten through
third grades as well as reading
researchers. The NIFL needs to collect
the information proposed in this
package to be able to describe in
reasonable detail the school- and
classroom-based reading strategies
employed by schools with highperforming students. The NIFL
understands its statutory charge to mean
providing information that explains
what the schools did and how they did
it rather than general information from
sources such as school Web sites. While
the findings from case studies should
not be construed as guidance to schools
seeking to improve their K–3 students’
reading outcomes, the information from
this study may bring to light detail that
contributes to deeper understanding of
effective reading instruction and
informs future research on K–3 reading
instruction. The respondents will be
drawn from two schools in each of three
districts that have been identified as
having positive student outcomes in
reading according to a comprehensive
approach established as part of the
study. The estimated number of
respondents will be: 6 Principals, 6
Reading Specialists/Literacy Specialists,
3 English Language Arts District
Coordinators, 72 Teachers (estimated).
Only an estimate of the number of
teacher respondents is possible until we
have agreements from the participating
schools. The estimate is based on three
teachers per grade level, K–3, at each
school.
