The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1850-NEW. The time required to complete this voluntary information collection is estimated to average 16 hours per request, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202-4537.

Overview

The Impact Evaluation of Training in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Reading in Early Elementary School Study (MTSS-R Study) is a U.S. Department of Education–funded study being conducted by American Institutes for Research (AIR). We are investigating the impact of two MTSS-R strategies on teacher and interventionist instruction, and on student reading skills. Schools listed in Table 4 are those participating in your district. As outlined in the “Roles and Responsibilities” agreement with your district, we are collecting data on two cohorts of students for our analyses. This document describes the extant data that we will be requesting throughout the study.

The data fall within five categories, described below:

  1. Class roster and student demographic information—These files consist of teacher–student linkage files (i.e., class rosters) at four time points for each of the two student cohorts. For each of the two cohorts, the initial summer teacher–student linkage file will be used to assist the study team in tracking parental consent, and in identifying the student sample for baseline and fall testing. The initial request will also be used to describe the sample and create covariates for impact analyses. The spring requests will be used to identify which students from the baseline sample will be tested in the spring. These data are only needed for the cohorts of students in the study schools.

  2. Staff position and demographic information—These files consist of the district and school staff and their roles/positions in each participating school, and district staff that support implementation. These files will be used as the basis for identifying which teachers and supplemental reading interventionists will be surveyed, to describe the sample and to create covariates for impact analyses. These data are only needed for teachers and interventionists in the study schools, as well as central office staff members.

  3. Intervention, screening, and progress monitoring—These files will be used to identify which students are enrolled in supplemental reading intervention in all participating schools during the 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023–24 school years. These data are only needed for the cohorts of students in the study schools.

  4. Student achievement and special education data—These files will provide third- and fourth-grade achievement for all Cohort 1 and 2 students. These data are needed for the two cohorts of students, regardless of which school they are attending in your district.

Table 1 describes the two cohorts of students. Table 2 provides an overview of the timeline of the data requests. Table 3 provides a list of the variables requested.
