Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based
Algebra Instruction in Middle and High
School—Recruitment Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and households
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 30.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 30.
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.
IES requests clearance for activities to
support the recruitment of school
districts to participate in an efficacy
study of a Toolkit to Support EvidenceBased Algebra Instruction in Middle
and High School as part of the REL
Central contract. A second OMB
package, which will be submitted later
this year, will request clearance for data
collection instruments and the
PO 00000

collection of district administrative
data.
Even prior to the COVID–19
pandemic, Algebra I proved challenging
for many students because of the
extensive abstract thinking it requires
(Katz, 2007; Susa et al., 2014). To help
students succeed in Algebra I, REL
Central is developing a toolkit of
professional learning supports to help
Algebra I teachers learn about, make
sense of, plan for, and implement three
evidence-based Algebra I teaching
practices that were identified in the
related What Work Clearinghouse
(WWC) Practice Guide, ‘‘Teaching
Strategies for Improving Algebra
Knowledge in Middle and High School
Students.’’ The toolkit contains the
following three parts: (1) Initial
Diagnostic and On-going Monitoring
Instruments, (2) Professional
Development Resources, and (3) Steps
for Institutionalizing Supports for
Evidence-Based Practice.
This study will assess whether
implementing the toolkit improves
teacher and student outcomes and will
describe the implementation of the
toolkit in study schools that use it.
Using a school-level randomized
controlled trial during the 2024–2025
school year, the study will estimate the
impact of the toolkit on teachers’ selfefficacy and their understanding and
use of the promising practices, as well
as on students’ algebraic content
knowledge, self-efficacy, and
mathematical mindsets. To provide
context for the impact estimates and
inform future use of the toolkit, the
study will also describe the
implementation of the toolkit. The study
plans to include 20 schools from three
districts. To disseminate these findings,
REL Central will produce a report for
school leaders and teachers who are
potential users of the toolkit.

directs federal agencies to prioritize
‘‘investing public dollars efficiently and
equitably, working to avoid waste, and
focusing on measurable outcomes for
the American people.’’ This guidance
specifies the uniform collection,
measurement, and reporting
methodologies necessary for a set of key
metrics that DOE can use to
communicate the outcomes and outputs
of funds awarded, ensuring consistency,
transparency, and accountability to
support Administration and program
objectives. This Information Collection
addresses a set of key cross-cutting
metrics that will track across DOE
programs to assess and communicate
DOE’s progress toward meeting key
agency priorities, including creating
quality jobs, supporting domestic
manufacturing, increasing equity and
justice, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, and providing pathways to
private sector uptake. The metrics will
inform transparent and consistent
reporting of the key metrics across DOE
awards and will include project-level
location data covering outcomes and
outputs for specific communities,
allowing DOE to better understand who
is affected by DOE funded programs and
how. This approach will enable DOE to
report metrics at the agency, office,
portfolio, and program levels and will
provide data that can help evaluate the
efficiency and equity of the programs,
educate the design and implementation
of future programs, and identify and
address potential waste. DOE proposes
to collect information through
applications and supporting documents
information necessary to determine that
whether rebate applicants meet the
specified statutory criteria to receive
payments under the equipment rebate
programs;
