Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education (Department) requests
OMB clearance for data collection activities associated with the Study
of Title I Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance Programs. The purpose of
this study is to provide a detailed analysis of the types of strategies
and activities implemented in title I schoolwide program (SWP) and
targeted assistance program (TAP) schools, how different configurations
of resources are used to support these strategies, and how local
officials make decisions about the use of these varied resources. To
this end, the study team will conduct site visits to a set of 40 case
study schools that will involve in-person and telephone interviews with
title I district officials and school staff involved in title I
administration. In addition, the study team will collect and review
relevant extant data and administer surveys to a nationally
representative sample of principals and school district administrators.
Both the case study and survey samples include title I SWP and TAP
schools. Clearance is requested for the case study and survey
components of the study, including its purpose, sampling strategy, data
collection procedures, and data analysis approach.
