Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 02/09/1995
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/21/1994
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by NSF's memoranda to OMB of 02/01/95 and 02/09/95. OMB notes the limitations of this study, the findings of which will only be representative of the programs studied and not of the general population of teacher enhancement programs; this caveat shall appear along with any publicly released reports or analysis resulting from the study. In addition, NSF has agreed to meet the following conditions: -- NSF shall add at least three sites to the site visit component that did not exhibit characteristics determined to be "best practice" based on NSF's review of the relevant literature. This will allow NSF to compare findings from "best practice" sites with other sites, in order to develop hypotheses about whether such characteristics are associated with improved outcomes for teachers and -- most importantly -- for student learning. These hypotheses will be tested in the future, generalizable studies. CONTINUATION OF NEW TERMS OF CLEARANCE: SEE ATTACHED.
