Abstract:
This request is for a revision of the State Report Card and Institution and Program Report Card required by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended in 2008 by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). States must report annually on criteria and assessments required for initial teacher credentials using a State Report Card (SRC), and institutions of higher education (IHEs) with teacher preparation programs (TPP), and TPPs outside of IHEs, must report on key program elements on an Institution and Program Report Card (IPRC). IHEs and TPPs outside of IHEs report annually to their states on program elements, including program numbers, type, enrollment figures, demographics, completion rates, goals and assurances to the state. States, in turn, must report on TPP elements to the Secretary of Education in addition to information on assessment pass rates, state standards, initial credential types and requirements, numbers of credentials issued, TPP classification as at-risk or low-performing. The information from states, institutions, and programs is published annually in The Secretary's Report to Congress on Teacher Quality. The revisions to the IPRC consist of the following: • A new sub-section about the impact of COVID-19 in Section I: Program Information. The section would have four questions in the first data collection year in which it is implemented, due to retrospective questions going back to academic year 2019-20, but only one question in subsequent data collection years. • A new question about student completion rate in Section I: Program Information. • Minor revisions to the gender and race/ethnicity categories in Section I: Program Information. The revisions to the SRC consist of the following: • Two new items showing completion rate, total and by program, pre-loaded from the IPRC for state review, in Section I: Program Information. • Five new multiple choice questions in Section VII: Teacher Shortages and Teacher Preparation, which are replacing three open text items. • A new “other” response option for a multiple choice item in Section IX: Improvement Efforts. • A new multiple choice and open text item in Section IX: Improvement Efforts. • A new section (Section X) about the impact of COVID-19. The section would have three questions in the first data collection year in which it is implemented, due to retrospective questions going back to academic year 2019-20, but only one question in subsequent data collection years. • Minor revisions to the gender and race/ethnicity categories in Section I: Program Information.

Short Statement:
This is an adjustment because there is increase of 489 responses/respondents.

Based on other adjustments there is a decrease of -75,390 burden hours. There is program decrease of -7198 burden hours by automation and streamlining of the forms(s).
