khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
B–WET has created an across-region,
internal evaluation system to provide
ongoing monitoring of program
implementation and to identify
opportunities for improved program
outcomes. The evaluation system is
maintained by B–WET staff with
occasional assistance from an outside
contractor. The evaluation system
collects information from B–WET
program-funded project participants.
B–WET awardees of grants or
cooperative agreements, and the
awardees’ teachers who attend
professional development programs
provided by the awardees, are asked to
voluntarily complete online survey
forms to provide data for the evaluation
system. Information collected from
awardees includes program elements
such as program duration, format,
audience, location, support and/or
materials offered, and topics covered.
Information collected from teacher
professional development participants
includes teaching methodologies,
program satisfaction, program coverage,
suggestions for improvement, and
teaching confidence. Information
collected from teachers at the end of the
school year following their participation
in a professional development program
includes time spent teaching topics
covered in the professional
development program, types of
activities used with their students,
teachers’ perceptions of student
learning, and teaching practices
utilized. One individual from each
awardee organization is asked to
complete a survey once per year of the
award, and the teacher participants are
asked to complete one survey at the end
of their professional development
program and another survey at the end
of the following school year. Responses
to the survey questions are aggregated
and analyzed as part of ongoing
evaluation efforts.
Based on a review of annual
evaluation system results, B–WET has
made program improvements by
adjusting its Federal Notice of Funding
Opportunities and program guidelines.
On-going data collection enables NOAA
to monitor program implementation and
outcomes on a regular basis and
supports adaptive management of the
program.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents submit their information
electronically using a survey collection
platform.
III. Data

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
