Abstract: The study is being conducted as part of the National Assessment of Title I, mandated by Title I, Part E, Section 1501 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The study is designed to identify school programs and instructional practices associated with improved language development, background knowledge, and comprehension outcomes for children in prekindergarten through third grade. Analyses will estimate the associations between instructional programs and practices and student outcomes to inform future rigorous evaluation of strategies to improve language and comprehension outcomes for at-risk children in these early years of school. We will identify 10 locations for the study, including 7-8 of the largest urban school districts and 2-3 states with large Title I populations. Within each of the 10 locations, we will select 5 high-performing and 5 low-performing schools. Within each school, we will randomly sample an average of three classrooms per grade. Within each classroom, we will randomly sample 8 students. Students will be assessed in fall and spring. Principals, preschool directors, teachers, and parents will be surveyed once, and students' classrooms will be observed twice in the fall and twice in the spring. Information from students' school records will be extracted at the end of the school year.

Short Statement: This is a program change and a second submission of a two-stage clearance request. The first submission (approved on August 2, 2010, under OMB control number 1850-0871) requested approval of the study's sampling plan, the approach to collecting the information needed to select the sample, and district and school recruitment. In this package, IES is requesting approval for all data collection activities that will support the full-scale study. Specifically, the burden is increased so that principals, prekindergarten directors, teachers, and children's parents can complete the survey instruments, and for schools to provide information from students' school records.
