    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.

Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
