*Abstract:*                     The U.S. Department of Education (ED)'s Institute of Education Sciences (IES) requests clearance for data collection activities to evaluate teacher residency programs' contributions to the teacher workforce. Specifically, this request covers the collection of data to understand the extent to which teacher residency programs funded by ED's Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) grants help diversify the teacher pipeline and fill hard-to-staff teaching positions in their partner districts. The Higher Education Act established the TQP program to support partnerships between teacher preparation programs and high-need districts to implement teacher residency programs. The study will collect data on newly hired teachers from the school districts and charter school networks (referred to throughout as “districts”) that partner with TQP grantees. If some districts are unable to provide data on new hires from TQP-funded residency programs, we will collect those data from TQP grantees.
