Abstract: This is the second submission of a two-stage clearance request for approval of data collection activities that will be used to support An Impact Evaluation of Moving High-Performing Teachers to Low-Performing Schools. The evaluation aims to estimate the impact of a program, labeled the Talent Transfer Initiative (TTI) program, on student achievement. This program identifies teachers with consistently high performance using value-added student learning gains and offers them monetary incentives to transfer to schools identified as low-performing based on average student test scores.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: A portion of the burden hours from the first phase (pilot and recruitment efforts) are nearing completion and will no longer be needed at the time of the anticipated clearance of this request. Therefore, the program office is deducting the 840 hours for the recruitment data collection activities completed in the 7 recruited districts. Additionally, because the initial collection was not on an annual basis, the adjustment to an annual figure will also be made at this point. The program office does intend to recruit the remaining 3 districts (included in the initial submission) in the fall of 2009, accounting for the total carryover of 397 hours - or 132 when this is adjusted for annual burden hours. The annual carryover of burden hours from the original submission will be 132 burden hours (1237-1104). Although there is an addition of 428 new annual burden hours being added to 132 annual burden hours carryover (560 total annual burden hours), the resulting program change is calculated as being an overall decrease because the first phase was submitted in Rocis using total burden hours (rather than annual burden hours as it should have been.)
