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.

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,
