Title of Collection: International Early
Learning Study (IELS) 2018 Main Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0936.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 8,091.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,461.
Abstract: The International Early
Learning Study (IELS), scheduled to be
conducted in 2018, is a new study
sponsored by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), an
intergovernmental organization of
industrialized countries. In the United
States, the IELS is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES). The IELS focuses on young
children and their cognitive and noncognitive skills and competencies as
they transition to primary school. The
IELS is designed to examine: Children’s
early learning and development in a
broad range of domains, including
social and cognitive skills; the
relationship between children’s early
learning and children’s participation in
early childhood education and care
(ECEC); the role of contextual factors,
including children’s individual
characteristics and their home
backgrounds and experiences, in
promoting young children’s growth and
development; and how early learning
varies across and within countries prior
to beginning, or in the early stages of
primary school. In 2018, in the
participating countries, including the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

United States, the IELS will assess
nationally-representative samples of 5year-old children enrolled in public and
private schools that offer kindergarten
in the United States through direct and
indirect measures, and will collect
contextual data about their home
learning environments, ECEC histories,
and demographic characteristics. The
IELS will measure young children’s
knowledge, skills, and competencies in
both cognitive and non-cognitive
domains, including language and
literacy, mathematics and numeracy,
executive function/self-regulation, and
social emotional skills. This assessment
will take place as children are
transitioning to primary school and will
provide data on how U.S. children
entering kindergarten compare with
their international peers on skills
deemed important for later success. To
prepare for the main study, which will
be conducted from October to December
2018, the IELS countries conducted a
field test in the fall of 2017 to evaluate
newly developed assessment
instruments and questionnaires and also
to test the study operations, and main
study respondent recruitment began in
September 2017. The request to conduct
the 2017 IELS field test data collection
and the IELS 2018 main study
recruitment was approved in September
2017 (OMB #1850–0936 v.3–4). This
request is to conduct the IELS 2018
main study.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
the Demonstration Grants for Indian
Children program is to provide financial
assistance to projects that develop, test,
and demonstrate the effectiveness of
services and programs to improve the
educational opportunities and
achievement of Indian students in
preschool, elementary, and secondary
schools.
Background: For FY 2018, the
Department will continue to use the
priority for Native Youth Community
Projects (NYCP) first used in FY 2015 to
support community-led, comprehensive
projects to help American Indian/Alaska
Native (AI/AN) children become
college- and career-ready. NYCP
funding is one of many efforts across the
Federal government to coordinate,
measure progress, and make
investments in Native youth programs.
These efforts aim to address educational
and other outcomes for Native youth not
currently being met. These grants are
designed to help communities improve
educational outcomes, specifically
college- and career-readiness, through
strategies tailored to address the specific
challenges and build upon the specific
opportunities and culture within a
community. Such strategies can include
supplemental academic programs or
courses, social-emotional services,
cultural education, and other support
services for AI/AN students and
families.
Recognizing the importance of Tribes
to the education of Native youth, NYCP
