This package requests clearance to
collect data from districts, teachers, and principals for a study
of a performance evaluation system for principals and teachers. The
study will provide important implementation and impact information
on a package of performance evaluation system components that
reflects current federal policy. Study findings will be presented
in two reports, one scheduled for release in Spring 2015 and the
other in Summer 2016.
The program change is a result
of moving from recruitment to the next phase of the collection.
This results in an increase of 5,104 respondents and 3,374 burden
hours.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
