Postage 

Although the USPTO requires that the 

items in this information collection be 

submitted electronically, in certain 

circumstances, respondents may be 

permitted to submit responses by mail 

through the United States Postal Service 

(USPS). The USPTO estimates that the 

average postage cost for a mailed 

submission, using a Priority Mail legal 

flat rate envelope, will be $9.95. The 

USPTO estimates approximately 106 

submissions per year may be mailed to 

the USPTO, for an estimated total 

postage cost of $1,055 per year. 

IV. Request for Comments 

The USPTO is soliciting public 

comments to: 

(a) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the 

REL Appalachia Teaching Math to 

Young Children Toolkit. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: New ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 320. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 95. 

Abstract: Mathematics knowledge 

acquired in early childhood provides a 

critical foundation for long-term student 

success in math as well as reading 

(Duncan et al., 2007; Watts et al., 2014), 

but the professional development (PD) 

and curricular support for preschool 

teachers often lack specific content and 

training on high-quality math 

instruction delivered by math content 

experts. To address this problem, the 

REL Appalachia toolkit development 

team is developing a toolkit to provide 

preschool teachers with support in 

implementing core teaching practices 

essential to promoting early math skills 

and knowledge in children. The toolkit 

is based on the Teaching Math to Young 

Children IES practice guide (Frye et al., 

2013) and is being developed in 

collaboration with state and district 

partners in Virginia. 

IES requests clearance for activities to 

support the recruitment of schools and 

districts to participate in an efficacy 

study of the toolkit as part of the REL 

Appalachia contract. A second OMB 

package, which will be submitted later 

this year, will request clearance for data 

collection instruments and the 

collection of district administrative 

data. 

The study will assess the efficacy of 

the professional development resources 

included in the toolkit. The evaluation 

will also assess how teachers implement 

the toolkit to provide context for the 

efficacy findings and guidance to 

improve the toolkit and its future use. 

The evaluation will take place in 50 

schools across approximately 10 school 

divisions in Virginia and focus on 

mathematics teaching practices and 

student mathematics knowledge and 

skills in preschool classrooms. The 

purpose of this study will be to measure 

the efficacy and implementation of the 

REL AP-developed toolkit designed to 

improve teacher practice and preschool 

students’ math learning outcomes. The 

toolkit evaluation will produce a report 

for district and school leaders who are 

considering strategies to improve math 

learning in preschool. The report will be 

designed to help them decide whether 

and how to use the toolkit to help them 

implement the practice guide 

recommendations.
