The U.S. Department of Education
(ED)’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES) requests clearance for
data collection activities to evaluate teacher residency programs’
contributions to the teacher workforce. Specifically, this request
covers the collection of data to understand the extent to which
teacher residency programs funded by ED’s Teacher Quality
Partnership (TQP) grants help diversify the teacher pipeline and
fill hard-to-staff teaching positions in their partner districts.
The Higher Education Act established the TQP program to support
partnerships between teacher preparation programs and high-need
districts to implement teacher residency programs. The study will
collect data on newly hired teachers from the school districts and
charter school networks (referred to throughout as “districts”)
that partner with TQP grantees. If some districts are unable to
provide data on new hires from TQP-funded residency programs, we
will collect those data from TQP grantees.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
