necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Teacher and School Leader Incentive
Program (TSL) by including two
evaluation components: (1) Descriptive
study of Teacher and School Leader
Incentive Program (TSL) grantees’, and
(2) Implementation, impact, and costeffectiveness study of designating one or
more ‘‘teacher leaders’’ as coaches in
schools. It will provide updated
information about the TSL program to
help ED understand which strategies
grantees are using and how effective a
commonly-used strategy—designating
teacher leaders to provide coaching to
other teachers—is in improving
educator effectiveness and ultimately
student achievement.

Title of Collection: Program for

(PISA 2021) Main Study Recruitment
and Field Test.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0755.
Type of Review: A revision of an

Burden Hours: 5,461.
Abstract: The Program for
International Student Assessments
(PISA) is an international assessment of
15-year-olds which focuses on assessing

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices
students’ reading, mathematics, and
science literacy. PISA was first
administered in 2000 and is conducted
every three years. The United States has
participated in all of the previous cycles
and is participating in 2021 in order to
track trends and to compare the
performance of U.S. students with that
of students in other education systems.
PISA 2021 is sponsored by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD). In the United
States, PISA is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), within the U.S. Department of
Education. In each administration of
PISA, one of the subject areas (reading,
mathematics, or science literacy) is the
major domain and has the broadest
content coverage, while the other two
subjects are the minor domains. PISA
emphasizes functional skills that
students have acquired as they near the
end of mandatory schooling (aged 15
years), and students’ knowledge and
skills gained both in and out of school
environments. PISA 2021 will focus on
mathematics literacy as the major
domain. Reading and science literacy
will also be assessed as minor domains,
with additional assessment of financial
literacy. In addition to the cognitive
assessments described above, PISA 2021
will include questionnaires
administered to school principals and
assessed students. To prepare for the
main study in 2021, PISA countries will
conduct a field test in the spring of
2020, primarily to evaluate newly
developed assessment and
questionnaire items but also to test the
assessment operations. The PISA 2021
field test data collection will occur in
the U.S.A. from March–April 2020 and
the main study data collection from
September–November 2021. This
submission requests approval for: All
recruitment and data collection
activities related to the 2020 field test,
and the overarching plan and
recruitment of schools for the PISA 2021
main study.
