Abstract: The Indian Education 

Professional Development program, 

authorized under title VI, part A of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), is 

designed to increase the number of, 

provide training to, and improve the 

skills of American Indian or Alaska 

Natives serving as teachers and school 

administrators in local educational 

agencies that serve a high proportion of 

American Indian or Alaska Native 

students. This is a request for renewal 

of a currently approved collection. 

Section 7122(h) of the ESEA (20 

U.S.C. 7442(h)) requires that individuals 

who receive financial assistance through 

the Indian Education Professional 

Development program subsequently 

complete a service obligation equivalent 

to the amount of time for which the 

participant received financial 

assistance. Participants who do not 

satisfy the requirements of the 

regulations must repay all or a pro-rated 

part of the cost of assistance, in 

accordance with 20 U.S.C. 7442(h) and 

34 CFR 263.9(a)(3). The regulations in 

part 263 implement requirements 

governing, among other things, the 

service obligation and reporting 

requirements of the participants in the 

Indian Education Professional 

Development program, and repayment 

of financial assistance by these 

participants. In order for the Federal 

Government to ensure that the goals of 

the program are achieved, certain data 

collection, recordkeeping, and 

documentation are necessary. 

In addition, GPRA requires Federal 

agencies to establish performance 

measures for all programs, and the 

Department has established 

performance measures for the Indian 

Education Professional Development 

program. Data collection from 

participants who have received 

financial assistance under the Indian 

Education Professional Development 

program is a necessary element of the 

Department’s effort to evaluate progress 

on these measures. 

The Department tracks participants 

who are receiving or have previously 

received support through the Indian 

Education Professional Development 

program. Participants must sign a 

payback agreement that includes contact 

information. Additionally, the 

Department receives information about 

participants from institutions of higher 

education (IHEs) and other eligible 

grantees when participants are no longer 

receiving assistance through the Indian 

Education Professional Development 

program. When the performance period 

is complete, the participant data are 

collected from the grantee and from the 

participants.
