Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
REL Midwest Teaching Fractions
Toolkit.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 206.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 187.
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
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.

The evaluation will produce a
publicly available report that
summarizes evaluation findings. The
findings from the evaluation will inform
further refinement of the toolkit, to be
released to the public after the
evaluation.
