Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is

Title of Collection: Impacts of a 

Detailed Checklist on Formative

OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10,788. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,784. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Education, in consultation with SEDL, 

is planning a clustered randomized 

evaluation in New Mexico to test the 

effectiveness of materials intended to 

improve the feedback that principals 

provide in one-on-one conferences to 

their teachers about their classroom 

instruction. New Mexico Public 

Education Department (NM PED) staff 

has identified the topic of principal 

feedback to teachers as an area where 

New Mexico needs assistance. It has 

limited resources and time to focus on 

the post-observation conference step in 

the teacher evaluation cycle. This 

impact study will examine whether an 

enhanced feedback guide relative to 

business-as-usual guidance to principals 

and teachers improves the structure and 

content of the principal-teacher 

feedback conversation, improves quality 

of teacher instruction as measured by 

subsequent formal observation ratings, 

and increases student achievement and 

state standardized tests.
