TShape1 ITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: U.S. Department of Education Reform Support Network Race to the Top Stakeholder Communications and Engagement CoP Leads Survey (2014)



PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is committed to understanding the utility and relevance of TA provided to Race to the Top (RTT) States through the Reform Support Network (RSN) in order to inform both service and program improvement in ensuring States achieve their Race to the Top goals as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Section 14005-6, Title XIV, (Public Law 111-5). The Reform Support Network provides TA to Race to the Top States through a variety of mechanisms including Communities of Practice, Webinars, Convenings, Product Development, and individualized technical assistance.


In support of RTT States, it is important to ensure that all TA provided through RSN is of high quality, relevant, useful, and helpful as States work towards achievement of their RTT goals. A survey will be administered to Stakeholder Communications and Engagement (SCE) CoP Leads. Results will be used to inform future TA and better understand how and when TA is useful to RTT grantees from a State perspective.


DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Surveys will be e-mailed to the 47 SCE CoP/Working Group participants. Follow-up for non-respondents will occur as needed by telephone and e-mail. Extensive skip patterns and logic for this on-line survey will significantly reduce burden and all participants will only answer questions which are applicable to their CoP participation.
