Individuals or households.

Abstract: OMB clearance is requested
for a comprehensive randomized control
trial study of the Retired Mentors for
New Teachers program for probationary
teachers developed by the Aurora Public
School District (APS), in Aurora
Colorado. The program uses recently
retired master teachers to provide oneon-one mentoring to probationary
teachers in high poverty elementary
schools. The program was developed by
APS over a three year period from 2008–
2011. The district has partnered with
REL Central to conduct a Randomized
Control Trial (RCT) study of the
program because it desires to
understand program impacts on teacher
retention, performance, and teacher
evaluations. The district has committed
resources to pay for the intervention as
well as for teachers to participate in any
data gathering activities, such as surveys
or focus groups. This OMB clearance
request is to collect data from 100
teachers and 8 teacher mentors. It does
not include data collection from
students.
