of in accordance with Department
Records Schedule 072: FSA
Application, Origination, and
Disbursement Records (DAA–0441–
2013–0002) (ED 072). ED 072 is being

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:
Physical access to the sites of the
Department’s contractors, where this
system of records is maintained, is
controlled and monitored by security
personnel who check each individual
entering the buildings for their
employee or visitor badge.
In accordance with the Department’s
Administrative Communications System
Directive ACSD–OFO–013 entitled
‘‘Contractor Employee Personnel
Security Screenings,’’ all contract and
Department personnel who have facility
access and system access must undergo
a security clearance investigation.
Individuals requiring access to Privacy
Act data are required to hold, at a
minimum, a moderate-risk security
clearance level. These individuals are
required to undergo periodic screening
at five-year intervals.
In addition to undergoing security
clearances, contract and Department
employees are required to complete
security awareness training on an
annual basis. Annual security awareness
training is required to ensure that
contract and Department users are
appropriately trained in safeguarding
Privacy Act data.
The computer system employed by
the Department offers a high degree of
resistance to tampering and
circumvention. This security system
limits data access to Department and
contract staff on a ‘‘need-to-know’’ basis
and controls individual users’ ability to
access and alter records within the
system. All users of this system of
records are given unique user
identification. The Department’s FSA
Information Security and Privacy Policy
requires the enforcement of a complex
password policy. In addition to the
enforcement of the complex password
policy, users are required to change
their password at least every 90 days in
accordance with the Department’s
information technology standards.
In accordance with the Federal
Information Security Management Act
of 2002 (FISMA), as amended by the
Federal Information Security
Modernization Act of 2014, every
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Department system must receive a
signed Authorization to Operate (ATO)
from a designated Department official.
The ATO process includes a rigorous
assessment of security and privacy
controls, a plan of actions and
milestones to remediate any identified
deficiencies, and a continuous
monitoring program.
Security and privacy controls
implemented are comprised of a
combination of management,
operational, and technical controls, and
include the following control families:
access control, awareness and training,
audit and accountability, security
assessment and authorization,
configuration management, contingency
planning, identification and
authentication, incident response,
maintenance, media protection,
physical and environmental protection,
planning, personnel security, privacy,
risk assessment, system and services
acquisition, system and
communications protection, system and
information integrity, and program
management.

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

Abstract: The current authorization
for the Regional Educational

Laboratories (REL) program is under the
Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002,
Part D, Section 174, (20 U.S.C. 9564),
administered by the Department of
Education, Institute of Education
Sciences (IES), National Center for
Education Evaluation and Regional
Assistance (NCEE). The central mission
and primary function of the RELs is to
support applied research and provide
technical assistance to state and local
education agencies within their region
(ESRA, Part D, section 174[f]). The REL
program’s goal is to partner with
educators and policymakers to conduct
work that is change-oriented and
supports meaningful local, regional, or
state decisions about education policies,
programs, and practices to improve
outcomes for students.
The Regional Educational Laboratory
Northwest is developing a toolkit based
on the Using Technology to Support
Postsecondary Student Learning What
Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice
Guide to support student learning in
community college contexts.
Community college instructors, across
all disciplines, including those who
teach in person, hybrid (remote and in
person), and online courses, are the
primary audience for the Toolkit.
This toolkit’s efficacy evaluation will
collect information about the
professional learning resources,
organized as the eAcademy:
Professional Learning for Using
Technology to Enhance Learning, that
will comprise the main component of
the Toolkit. In the efficacy study, the
eAcademy will be offered to instructors
in community colleges in Oregon. The
evaluation of the eAcademy includes
two parts: first, using a random
assignment design, researchers will
examine the impact of the eAcademy on
instructor knowledge, teaching
practices, and student outcomes.
Second, researchers will collect
implementation data to understand
fidelity of implementation, treatment
contrast, and how the eAcademy
influences instructor and student
outcomes.
The research questions include: What
is the impact of the eAcademy on
instructors’ awareness of technology
tools for learning, knowledge of how to
use technology for learning, and comfort
using education technologies to support
student learning, what is the impact of
the eAcademy on instructors’ use of
technology to support student learning,
and what is the impact of the eAcademy
on student engagement, interaction,
course completion, and persistence to
the next quarter?
The goals of the program evaluation
include documenting the content of

eAcademy (topics covered and activities
provided), the way the eAcademy is
implemented, and the treatment dosage
to understand fidelity of
implementation. The evaluation study
will provide further insight into how the
eAcademy is related to instructor- and
student-level outcomes, and the
implementation study will document
treatment contrast between the
eAcademy and other available
professional resources. eAcademy
participation data will be used to affirm
whether instructors in the treatment
group accessed the professional
resources and instructors in the control
group did not.
Findings from the implementation
study may be used to improve future
iterations of the eAcademy and to
update the WWC Practice Guide
recommendations. They may also
generate ideas for new approaches to
professional development that lead to
better outcomes.
