Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests clearance for the recruitment materials and data collection protocols for activities related to the Regional Educational Laboratory Program (REL). ED, in consultation with American Institutes for Research (AIR), is planning a two-part evaluation of the Early Warning and Intervention Monitoring System (EWIMS), consisting of an impact study and an implementation study. OMB approval is being requested for a multimode data collection and analysis of a group of schools, students, and staff members in public schools in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. The impact study consists of data collection from the state education agencies (SEAs) in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana and participating districts and schools. The implementation component consists of data collection from participating schools. This impact study (designed as a cluster randomized controlled trial) will focus on student outcomes spanning multiple domains of school success (student risk status, scores on graduation tests, persistence and progress in school, and being on track at the end of ninth grade) and will examine whether the EWIMS model has an impact on intermediate outcomes in schools, including the schools data culture and data-informed allocation of dropout prevention interventions. The implementation study will focus on schools experience with implementation, the extent to which schools faithfully implement the EWIMS model and the interventions provided to students identified as at risk by the EWS tool. The purpose of the project is to assess the implementation and impact of EWIMS, a data tool and process for implementing a system of data-driven decision making. Developed by the National High School Center, EWIMS provides a means of systematically and reliably identifying students at risk for dropping out of high school. The proposed study is a two-year school-level randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of implementing EWIMS on school processes and student outcomes.
