existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 53.

and competitive grant-funded projects, 

activities and strategies in integrating 

technology into curricula and 

instruction and improving student 

achievement. The purpose of this 

reporting requirement is to identify from 

the results of those evaluations 

innovative projects, activities and 

strategies that effectively infuse 

technology with curriculum and 

instruction, show evidence of positive 

impacts for student learning, and can be

Title of Collection: Promoting Student 

Success in Algebra I Project. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 201. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 208. 

Abstract: The Promoting Student 

Success in Algebra I (PSSA) study aims 

to provide policy-makers and 

practitioners with a deeper 

understanding of how instructional 

practices, professional development, 

instructional coaching, curriculum 

alignment, and expanded learning/ 

double-dose algebra can serve as 

possible avenues for improving student 

success in mathematics and particularly 

Algebra I, a critical gateway course for 

which student success is a strong 

predictor of high-school graduation. 

The PSSA study will incorporate 

research findings, school-based 

perspectives from education 

practitioners, and case studies of district 

and school sites that are implementing 

exemplary initiatives in the five topical 

areas that represent common leverage 

points for addressing student needs in 

mathematics. This work will make an 

important contribution by producing 

actionable information for educators 

and policymakers about how to promote 

success in Algebra I for all students 

while simultaneously increasing the 

demands on teacher effectiveness and 

student performance in preparation for 

the Common Core State Standards for 

Mathematics (CCSSM). The study 

centers around three major research 

questions as follows: 

(1) What is the evidence to support 

practices or strategies in the areas of 

instructional practices, professional 

development, instructional coaching, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
24394 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 80 / Thursday, April 25, 2013 / Notices 

curricular alignment, and expanded 

learning/double-dose algebra for 

promoting student success in Algebra I? 

(2) What do district- and school-based 

representatives think about evidence for 

practices or strategies in these areas? 

(3) What does exemplary 

implementation of each practice or 

strategy look like in districts or schools 

with demonstrated improvement in 

student outcomes? 

The subject of this OMB clearance 

request is PSSA’s series of five topical 

area case studies (Research Question 

#3). The case studies are designed to 

address five focused sets of case study 

research questions that are grounded in 

the studys overall conceptual 

framework. These research questions 

explore factors associated with the 

successful implementation of programs 

or initiatives in each of the five topical 

areas, including (a) actions taken to 

implement the program/initiative; (b) 

processes used to develop and select the 

program/initiative; (c) contextual factors 

that enable and constrain successful 

implementation; and (d) indicators that 

are used to describe the effectiveness of 

the program/initiative.
