1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) requires that 

Federal agencies provide interested 

parties an early opportunity to comment 

on information collection requests. The 

Acting Director, Information Collection 

Clearance Division, Privacy, Information 

and Records Management Services, 

Office of Management, publishes this 

notice containing proposed information 

collection requests at the beginning of 

the Departmental review of the 

information collection. 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: Study of Promising 

Features of Teacher Preparation 

Programs; Phase 1—Recruitment. 

OMB Control Number: Pending. 

Type of Review: New. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,295. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,084. 

Abstract: The objective of this study is 

to use causal methods to examine the 

effectiveness of certain university-based 

clinical practice features for novice 

teachers. Teachers who have 

experienced certain types of clinical 

practice features and who have 

completed those features are 

hypothesized to produce higher average 

student test scores than teachers who 

have not done so. Using a randomized 

controlled trial, students will be 

randomly assigned to a pair of teachers 

in the same school and grade level, one 

of whom will have experienced the type 

of clinical practice of interest 

(‘‘treatment’’) while the other will not 

have experienced the feature 

(‘‘control’’). Average test scores of the 

two groups will then be compared. 

The Phase I—Recruitment ICR entails 

the identification of recently-hired 

teacher pairs who meet the study’s 

eligibility requirements. The study will 

use a multi-step process to identify 

these teachers, including identifying 

feasible states for the study, selecting 

the specific features related to clinical 

practice (i.e., the ‘‘program’’), 

identifying university-based teacher 

preparation programs that require such 

clinical practice, identifying feasible 

districts and schools for the study, and 

finally, confirming eligibility of 

potential teachers for the study. The 

Phase I—Recruitment ICR requests 

approval to collect information from 

preparation programs about their 

requirements, focusing on aspects of 

clinical practice specifically, and to 

collect preliminary information from 

teachers about their training to 

determine their eligibility for the study. 

This package also provides an overview 

of the study, including its design and 

data collection procedures.
