the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Strategies for
Preparing At-Risk Youth for
Postsecondary Success.
OMB Control Number: Pending.
Type of Review: New.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 132.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 116.
Abstract: Educators are increasingly
concerned about poor high school
graduation rates, especially among atrisk youth. Many of the programs
adopted by districts and schools to
decrease the dropout rate traditionally
set the goal of completing high school.
Programs that meet the dual goals of
supporting at-risk youth to graduate
from high school and then enroll in and
succeed in postsecondary education are
not commonly found in most school
districts and few studies of dropout
prevention programs have a
postsecondary focus. This study aims to
fill a gap by conducting qualitative case
studies of up to 15 sites with a focus on
preventing students from dropping out
and preparing them for postsecondary
education or training. This study will
systematically analyze qualitative data
across multiple respondents to generate
portraits of programs and strategies that
the sites use, lessons based on
implementation successes and
challenges, and evidence suggesting
their effectiveness in improving the
outcomes of interest.
To complete the study, the U.S.
Department of Education is requesting
OMB approval of two related qualitative
data collection activities: (1) A phone
screen with local program managers to
determine the final sample of case
studies and (2) up to 15 site visits to a
purposive case study sample. Although
the lessons are not generalizable to a
larger population because the sample is
purposive and small, the case studies
will provide rich contextual information
to help practitioners assess the
applicability of the lessons in their own
schools or districts.
