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
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.

This Information Collection was created
to ensure that all IDEA Part C
information responsibilities are
documented and have been submitted
