containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission

Abstract: This randomized control trial study will examine the
[[Page 42403]]
effectiveness of Success in Sight (SiS) in 52 elementary schools with
low to moderate student achievement. This study will specifically
examine the impact of SiS on student achievement and on school
practices associated with school improvement. The primary data
collection will include a teacher survey assessing school improvement
practices (data-based decision-making, practices associated with
improved student achievement, shared leadership, and purposeful
community) and student achievement data. Data collection will occur
over a two-year period. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) will be used
to determine the effects of SiS on school-level student achievement and
school-level reform practices.
