Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 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

Title of Collection: Impact Evaluation of Academic Language
Intervention.
OMB Control Number: 1850--NEW.
Type of Review: A new information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments;
Individuals or Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 546.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 492.
Abstract: The purpose of the Impact Evaluation of Academic Language
Intervention is to assess the impact of a promising academic language
intervention on teachers' instructional practice and students' language
and reading skills, with a particular focus on students who are English
Learners (ELs) and disadvantaged non-EL students. Although prior
studies of academic language instruction provide some initial evidence
of the efficacy of instructional practices, confirmation of large-scale
effectiveness is needed. This evaluation will contribute to the
knowledge base of the instructional practices that improve language and
literacy outcomes for these high need populations.
This submission covers data collection for the baseline period
prior to implementing the selected academic language intervention,
during the implementation year (the 2017-18 school year), and a follow-
up year (spring 2019). The evaluation will examine the implementation
and impact of an academic language program, using a random assignment
design in which participating schools in each district are randomly
assigned to a treatment group whose 4th and 5th grade teachers receive
training and materials to implement the program or to a control group
whose teachers do not. This submission covers the following data
collection activities: Teacher surveys, teacher and student rosters,
and school district records data.
