OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: New ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 206.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education is supporting the development and evaluation of a toolkit that supports the implementation of effective grade 6 fractions instruction based on the evidence-based recommendations in the Developing Effective Fractions Instruction for Kindergarten Through 8th Grade practice guide. The evaluation will rigorously test the efficacy of the toolkit in improving teacher self-efficacy and practices for fraction computation and rate and ratio instruction as well as student learning outcomes in grade 6 mathematics. The evaluation will use a blocked randomized controlled trial design in which schools within each district or within each block of similar schools will be randomly assigned to receive the toolkit. The evaluation will be conducted in 40 Illinois schools during the 2024/25 school year. The evaluation will focus on measuring the toolkit’s impact on three key outcomes: teacher self-efficacy for fraction computation and rate and ratio instruction, classroom practice for fraction computation and rate and ratio instruction, and students’ ability to solve fraction computation and rate and ratio problems. In addition to collecting data to measure teacher and student outcomes, the evaluation team will collect data to document the implementation of the E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 103 / Tuesday, May 30, 2023 / Notices toolkit in treatment schools and the service contrast between treatment and control schools and to describe the characteristics of participating schools, teachers, and students at baseline.
