in whole, or in part, with Department 

grant funds. When the deliverable 

consists of modifications to preexisting 

works, the license extends only to those 

modifications that can be separately 

identified and only to the extent that 

open licensing is permitted under the 

terms of any licenses or other legal 

restrictions on the use of preexisting 

works. Additionally, a grantee or 

subgrantee that is awarded competitive 

grant funds must have a plan to 

disseminate these public grant 

deliverables. This dissemination plan 

can be developed and submitted after 

your application has been reviewed and 

selected for funding. For additional 

information on the open licensing 

requirements please refer to 2 CFR 

3474.20. 

4. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multiyear award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/ 

fund/grant/apply/appforms/ 

appforms.html. 

Performance reports for the UISFL 

program must be submitted 

electronically into the office of 

International and Foreign Language 

Education web-based reporting system, 

International Resource Information 

System (IRIS). For information about 

IRIS and to view the reporting 

instructions, please go to http://

iris.ed.gov/iris/pdfs/UISFL.pdf. 

5. Performance Measures: Established 

for the purpose of Department reporting 

under 34 CFR 75.110, the Department 

will use the following performance 

measures to evaluate the success of the 

UISFL program: Percentage of UISFL 

projects that added or enhanced courses 

in international studies in critical world 

areas and priority foreign languages; and 

percentage of UISFL projects that 

established certificate and/or 

undergraduate degree programs in 

international or foreign language 

studies. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things, whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

Title of Collection: 2024 Teaching and 

Learning International Survey (TALIS 

2024) Main Study Recruitment and 

Field Test. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0888. 

Type of Review: A reinstatement with

Abstract: The Teaching and Learning 

International Survey (TALIS) is an 

international survey of teachers and 

principals focusing on the working 

conditions of teachers and the teaching 

and learning practices in schools. The 

United States will administer TALIS for 

the third time in 2024, having 

participated in 2013 and 2018. TALIS 

2024 is sponsored by the Organization 

for Economic Cooperation and 

Development (OECD). TALIS is steered 

by the TALIS Governing Board (TGB), 

comprising representatives from the 

OECD member countries, and 

implemented internationally by 

organizations contracted by the OECD 

(referred to as the ‘‘international 

consortium’’ or ‘‘IC’’). In the U.S., 

TALIS 2024 is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) of the Institute of Education 

Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. 

TALIS 2024 is focused on teachers’ 

professional environment, teaching 

conditions, and their impact on school 

and teacher effectiveness. TALIS 2024 

will address teacher training and 

professional development, teacher 

appraisal, school climate, school 

leadership, instructional approaches, 

pedagogical practices, and teaching 

experience with and support for 

teaching diverse populations. 

OECD has scheduled the main study 

to occur in the Northern hemisphere 

from February through March 2024 and 

in the Southern hemisphere from June 

through August 2024. To prepare for the 

main study, several TALIS countries 

will conduct pilot studies in February 

2022; the U.S. will not participate. 

Countries will also conduct a field test 

in the first quarter of 2023, primarily to 

evaluate newly developed questionnaire 

items and school recruitment materials; 

the U.S. will participate in the field test. 

To meet the international data 

collection schedule for the field test, 

U.S. recruitment activities need to begin 

by August 2022 and U.S. questionnaires 

must be finalized by December 2022. 

TALIS 2024 includes the core TALIS 

teacher and principal surveys that are 

required for each participating country, 

as well as an optional Teacher 

Knowledge Survey (TKS). The TKS is 

intended to better understand the 

teacher pedagogical knowledge base at 

the national level. The US is including 

the TKS in the upcoming TALIS 2024 

field test and will evaluate these results 

to determine the feasibility of including 

TKS as part of the US Main Study. 

This submission requests approval 

for: Recruitment and pre-survey 

activities for the 2023 field test sample; 

administration of the field test; and 

school recruitment and pre-survey 

activities for the 2024 main study 

sample. The materials that will be used 

in the 2024 main study will be based 

upon the field test materials included in 

this submission. Additionally, this 

submission is designed to adequately 

justify the need for and overall practical 

utility of the full study and to present 

the overarching plan for all phases of 

the data collection, providing as much 

detail about the measures to be used as 

is available at the time of this 

submission. As part of this submission, 

NCES is publishing a notice in the 

Federal Register allowing first a 60- and 

then a 30-day public comment period. 

For the final proposal for the full study, 

after the field test NCES will publish a 

notice in the Federal Register allowing 

an additional 30-day public comment 

period on the final details of the 2024 

main study.
