report on whether it is appropriate for EDFacts to begin collecting
this data. Additionally, ED/OESE will investigate and report to OMB
on whether incorporating the separate Excel worksheet on teacher
gains in content knowledge into the online system is appropriate
and reduces respondent burden.

The Mathematics and Science
Partnerships program is a formula grant program to the States in
which states make competitive awards to projects. The authorizing
legislation, Title II, Part B, Section 2202 (f) of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as amended by the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001, requires all locally funded projects to report
annually to the Secretary documenting progress towards goals and
objectives. The Annual Performance Report (APR), an online
reporting tool, will provide projects an opportunity to describe
partnerships, report on the impact of the projects, share effective
professional development strategies, and help ED progam officials
to examine outcomes across multiple projects. The APR is a revision
of a currently OMB-approved annual performance report and reflects
program expansion and the consolidation of several monitoring
tools.

This request is for a revised
data collection. The current Annual Performance Report does not
adequately measure projects impact on student achievement. In
addition, several monitoring tools have been incorporated into the
APR thus reducing the burden unto the respondents.
