Type of Review: New. 

Title of Collection: Equitable 

Distribution of Effective Teachers: State 

and Local Responses to Federal 

Initiatives. 

OMB Control Number: 1875–NEW. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A. 

Frequency of Responses: Once. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Government, State Educational 

Agencies or Local Educational Agencies. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 42. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 126. 

Abstract: The most recent 

reauthorization of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act in 2002 

required that States provide assurances 

and develop plans to ‘‘ensure that poor 

and minority children are not taught at 

higher rates than other children by 

inexperienced, unqualified, or out of 

field teachers’’ (Section 1111(b)(8)(C)). 

In 2009, American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) requirements 

reinforced the focus on equitable 

distribution of teachers by requiring 

States applying for education stimulus 

funds to provide updated assurances 

and to publicize their most recent 

‘‘equity plans.’’ ARRA also establishes 

competitive grants to help States build 

their pool of effective teachers and 

address inequities in the distribution of 

teachers. In addition to their focus on 

the equitable distribution of teacher 

quality, Federal programs also have 

been promoting shifts in how teacher 

quality is measured, away from teacher 

qualifications and toward measures of 

instructional practice and effectiveness 

at raising student achievement. Federal 

programs such as the Teacher Incentive 

Fund and Race to the Top have 

provided incentives for States and 

districts to move in this direction, 

including funds to support some of the 

technical aspects of development. 

Federal policymakers need to know 

whether the policies and programs they 

sponsor under these laws contribute to 

teacher quality for disadvantaged 

students. Hence, the U.S. Department of 

Education requires a study documenting 

the State and local actions to (a) develop 

new measures of teacher quality, 

(b) analyze the distribution of teacher 

quality, and (c) develop and implement 

plans to ensure teacher quality for 

disadvantaged students. To inform 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
67958 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 213 / Thursday, November 4, 2010 / Notices 

Federal policymakers, the study will 

examine the implementation of these 

activities with attention to 

implementation challenges, the role of 

State and local context, and the roles of 

the Federal programs designed to foster 

these activities. 

The planned data collection will serve 

four objectives: 

1. To examine how States and 

districts analyze the distribution of 

teacher quality, plan actions to address 

inequities, and monitor progress. 

2. To examine how States and 

districts are changing their measures of 

teacher quality, and to understand their 

experiences in doing so. 

3. To examine State and local actions 

to improve teacher quality for 

disadvantaged students (i.e., students in 

high-poverty or high-minority schools). 

4. To describe the perceived 

contributions of Federal programs to 

State and local actions aimed at 

improving the quality of teachers for 

disadvantaged students, and how State 

and local contexts mediate these 

contributions. 

To address these objectives, our 

design includes telephone interviews 

with State education agencies and local 

education agencies.
