Sheet 1: Introduction

Introduction
This worksheet has six tabs, A to F. Please review each of these tabs and fill in the yellow cells.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is conducting a large-scale evaluation of teacher residency programs. The evaluation will provide comprehensive information about the characteristics, effectiveness, and retention of teachers from different types of teacher preparation programs. It will also aim to shed light on effective approaches to teacher preparation used by teacher residency programs that could be implemented more broadly.

As part of this evaluation we are asking residency programs to participate in an interview. The in-depth information collected through this interview will provide a better understanding of the structure of residency programs and the instruction and support they provide to their participants.

Your participation in the study is voluntary and you may refuse to answer any questions you are not comfortable answering. The interview will pose minimal risk to you. It is conducted in two parts: this spreadsheet file which will take about 15 minutes on your own time to complete and a phone interview which will take about 60 minutes to complete. Some of the questions may require additional follow-up.

Per the policies and procedures required by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Title I, Part E, Section 183, responses to this data collection will be used only for research purposes. The reports prepared for this study will summarize findings across the sample and will not associate responses with a specific residency program, district, school, or individual. We will not provide information that identifies you or your district to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law. Any willful disclosure of such information for nonstatistical purposes, without the informed consent of the respondent, is a class E felony.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the needed data, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1850-0960 which expires 04/30/2024. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Mathematica, 600 Alexander Park, Suite 100 Princeton, NJ 08540 ATTN: Melissa Clark. Do not return the completed form to this address.
