SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Impact Study of Feedback for Teachers Based on 
Classroom Videos.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,091.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,359.
    Abstract: The goal of this evaluation is to examine the impact of 
video-based observations and feedback on the classroom practices and 
student achievement of novice teachers (in their first year of 
teaching) and early career teachers (in their second through fourth 
years of teaching). This study, using a

random assignment design, provides an important test of whether 
intensive, individualized support for teachers improves their 
instructional practices and ultimately student achievement. By focusing 
on novice teachers, the study has the potential to inform both teacher 
induction policies and teacher preparation programs. Examining the 
impact of this intervention on novice and early career teachers can 
also inform the effectiveness of providing individualized feedback as a 
model for teacher professional development programs. The study includes 
12 districts and approximately 500 teachers who will be participating 
in the study.
