Abstract: This study involves the implementation of a professional development program for 4th and 5th grade teachers who teach English language learners (ELLs) and assesses whether the proposed high-quality professional development model will have measurable impacts on teacher and student outcomes. The target population for the intervention are 4th and 5th grade teachers in three jurisdictions (state education agencies) of the Pacific Region who teach self-contained classes. A rigorous cluster random assignment research design, in which schools are randomly assigned to program and control groups, will be used to evaluate the impact of a principles-based professional development program and report on outcomes at the teacher, classroom, and student level.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reason for the increase in burden hours is: For the teacher survey, the number of teachers is reduced to from 137 to 120 (to reflect a more accurate number). For those 120 teachers, 9 questions are being added to the survey, increasing the survey time by 10 minutes. With the correction (reduction) to the number of teachers and the addition of 10 minutes being added to each survey, the overall change to the collection is an increase of 14 burden hours.
