SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: The Evaluation of NSF's Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) Program
OMB Control No.: 3145-NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable.
1. Abstract: This document has been prepared to support the clearance of data collection instruments to be used in the evaluation of the Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12). GK-12 is a fellowship that offers graduate students and advanced undergraduates the opportunity to serve as resources for K-12 teachers of science and mathematics. The study design focuses on GK-12 projects funded during the period 1999-2002 and involves two types of studies. One consists of case studies of three cohorts of GK-12 projects. The second is a survey of all GK-12 projects funded in this time period. This OMB submission seeks clearance for data collection instruments for both studies.
2. Expected Respondents: The expected respondents are GK-12 Fellows, Cooperating Teachers in the school districts where the Fellows are placed, Principal Investigators, and other educators associated directly with the GK-12 Program.
3. Burden on the Public: The total estimate for this collection is 1,823 burden hours for a maximum of 3,645 participants assuming an 80-100% response rate. The average annual reporting burden is 2 hours per respondent. The burden on the public is negligible; the study is limited to project participants that have received funding from the NSF GK-12 program.
