Title of Collection: Evaluation of the Toolkit to Support Evidence-Based Algebra Instruction in Middle and High School. OMB Control Number: 1850–0988. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,029. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 358. 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. Even prior to the COVID–19 pandemic, Algebra 1 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 1, REL Central is developing a toolkit of professional learning supports to help Algebra 1 teachers learn about, make sense of, plan for, and implement three evidence-based Algebra 1 teaching practices that were identified in the related What Works 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:15 May 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 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 up to three school districts. To disseminate these findings, REL Central will produce a report for school leaders and teachers who are potential users of the toolkit. The original information collection request received approval for recruitment activities. This revision requests clearance for data collection activities. Dated: May 6, 2024.

Abstract: This information collection request revises the 1810–0727 College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) Annual Performance Report (APR) collection.

For a complete list of revisions, please see the attached summary, which will be shared with the public and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as a supplemental document. The Office of Migrant Education (OME) collects information for the CAMP, which is authorized under Title IV, Section 418A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Section 408 of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) (20 U.S.C. 1070d–2) (special programs for students whose families are engaged in migrant and seasonal farmwork), and 2 CFR 200.328, which requires that recipients of discretionary grants submit an APR to best inform improvements in program outcomes and productivity. Although the Education Department continues to use the generic 524B, the OME requests continued use of a customized APR that goes beyond the generic 524B APR to facilitate the collection of more standardized and comprehensive data to inform performance measure indicators, to improve the overall quality of data collected, and to increase the quality of data that can be used to inform policy decisions.
