Title of Collection: Teacher Quality Distribution Study. OMB Control Number: Pending. Agency Form Number(s): N/A. Frequency of Responses: On Occasion.

Abstract: Title II, Part A, the Improving Teacher State Formula Grants program is the primary Federal funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to support a high quality teacher in every classroom. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act supports reform in four key areas including increasing teacher effectiveness and promoting the equitable distribution of effective teachers. Therefore, this study describes the distribution of teacher quality within districts over time and any changes in that distribution associated with district strategies to promote an equitable distribution of high quality teachers. This study will provide information over time about the distribution of teacher quality and will document district efforts to promote teacher equity within a select number of districts. The research questions are: • What is the distribution of teacher quality across schools within districts? • What strategies and policies are districts promoting to address inequitable distribution of teacher quality? How are these strategies/ policies enacted (e.g. strategy determination, goals and objectives, theory of action, features, administration, necessary resources, challenges to administration, intended duration)? • What is the relationship between the district policies/strategies and the distribution of teacher quality? The study will be conducted in up to 30 geographically-dispersed school districts. The study will document the distribution of teacher quality, within participating districts, using teacher value-added analyses. The study will also describe changes in the distribution of teacher quality across the outcomes years 2010–2011 through 2012–2013. Data collection will include student achievement obtained from E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1
