Abstract:
The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is requesting clearance to administer surveys and follow-up interviews for a Congressionally mandated evaluation of the Innovative Assessment Demonstration Authority (IADA) program. Congress created the program to improve the quality and usefulness of assessments required under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), by allowing the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) to exempt states that agree to pilot new assessments from certain testing requirements. IES had initially requested clearance in 2020 to survey participating IADA districts, schools, and teachers on the implementation of these new assessments. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and other challenges extensively slowed implementation, and two states have since withdrawn from IADA. As a result, there are few available districts, schools, and teachers that actually administered the IADA assessment and could share their experiences in ways that would meaningfully contribute to this evaluation. IES is instead requesting to survey and conduct follow-up interviews with state assessment officials, technical advisors, and assessment vendors. Their perspectives will be more informative at this stage of the program and will lead to a much smaller overall burden on respondents.
