DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Notice of Proposed Information Collection Requests
AGENCY: Department of Education.
SUMMARY: The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory Information Management
Services, Office of Management, invites comments on the proposed
information collection requests as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
June 11, 2007.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The IC Clearance Official, Regulatory
Information Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that
notice containing proposed information collection requests prior to
submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information
collection, grouped by office, contains the following: (1) Type of
review requested, e.g., new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment.
The Department of Education is especially interested in public
comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on
the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Abstract: This study seeks to examine the impact on student
achievement of a combination of a comprehensive English Language
Learner (ELL) student program, On Our Way to English [OWE], and a
professional development course, Responsive Instruction for Success in
English [RISE]. Schools identified as having a high percentage of
Spanish-speaking ELL students will be randomly assigned to either the
treatment condition or a control group. All grade 1-5 classrooms at
each school will participate in the condition assigned to the school.
This study begins in 2007. OWE and RISE will be implemented in
treatment schools during the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years. Data
on classroom practices, student activities, and student language and
literacy will be collected each of these years. Intermediate and
cumulative effects of the interventions will be analyzed using year-end
data and data collected over the course of the study. Other analyses
may explore education mechanisms that contribute to variation in the
impact in achievement.
