SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department is especially interested in

following issues: (1) is this collection
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;

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
REL Appalachia Teaching Math to
Young Children Toolkit.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0991.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 7,040.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 792.
Abstract: Mathematics knowledge
acquired in early childhood provides a
critical foundation for long-term student
success in math as well as reading
(Duncan et al., 2007; Watts et al., 2014),
but the professional development (PD)
and curricular support for preschool
teachers often lack specific content and
training on high-quality math
instruction delivered by math content
experts. To address this problem, the
REL Appalachia toolkit development
team is developing a toolkit to provide
preschool teachers with support in
implementing core teaching practices
essential to promoting early math skills
and knowledge in children. The toolkit
is based on the Teaching Math to Young
Children IES practice guide (Frye et al.,
2013) and is being developed in
collaboration with state and district
partners in Virginia.
In this revision, IES requests
clearance for data collection
instruments and the collection of
district administrative data for an
efficacy study of the toolkit as part of
the REL Appalachia (REL AP) contract.
The study will assess the efficacy of
the professional development resources
included in the toolkit. The evaluation
E:\FR\FM\12APN1.SGM
12APN1
25870
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 72 / Friday, April 12, 2024 / Notices
will also assess how teachers implement
the toolkit to provide context for the
efficacy findings and guidance to
improve the toolkit and its future use.
The evaluation will take place in 50
schools across approximately 10 school
divisions in Virginia and focus on
mathematics teaching practices and
student mathematics knowledge and
skills in preschool classrooms. The
purpose of this study will be to measure
the efficacy and implementation of the
REL AP-developed toolkit designed to
improve teacher practice and preschool
students’ math learning outcomes. The
toolkit evaluation will produce a report
for district and school leaders who are
considering strategies to improve math
learning in preschool. The report will be
designed to help them decide whether
and how to use the toolkit to help them
implement the practice guide
recommendations.

Abstract: Section 107(a)(1) of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
(Rehabilitation Act) requires the
Commissioner of the Rehabilitation
Services Administration (RSA) to
conduct annual reviews and periodic
on-site monitoring of the vocational
rehabilitation (VR) program to
determine whether a state agency is
complying substantially with the
provisions of its State Plan under
section 101 of the Rehabilitation Act
and with the evaluation standards and
performance indicators established
under section 106 of the Rehabilitation
Act subject to the performance
accountability provisions described in
Section 116(b) of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA). To fulfill its monitoring
responsibility, RSA reviews a maximum
PO 00000
Frm 00009

of 15 VR agencies in each Federal fiscal
year. When, based on its monitoring,
RSA determines that a state agency has
not administered and operated the VR
program in compliance with its State
Plan, the Rehabilitation Act, and
implementing regulations at 34 CFR part
361, the agency must develop a
corrective action plan (CAP),
established by RSA in accordance with
the requirement of section 107(b)(2) of
the Rehabilitation Act, for RSA approval
within 45 days from the issuance of the
final monitoring report.
