The Institute of Education Sciences, part of the Department of Education, is proposing a new information collection request, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request aims to gather data for evaluating the effectiveness of teacher residency programs, particularly those funded by the Teacher Quality Partnership grants. The goal is to understand these programs' contributions to diversifying the teacher workforce and filling challenging teaching positions. Public comments on this proposal are invited until February 6, 2025.

The Department of Education wants to collect information to see how well programs that help train new teachers are working, especially in getting more diverse teachers and filling jobs that are hard to find teachers for. They are asking people to share their thoughts about this plan until February 6, 2025.
