Institute of Education Sciences Type of Review: New. Title: Identifying Potentially Successful Approaches to Turning Around Chronically Low Performing Schools. Frequency: Once. Affected Public: Individuals or household. Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden: Responses: 1,746. Burden Hours: 743. Abstract: This study seeks to identify schools that have achieved rapid improvements in student outcomes in a short period of time; illuminate the complex range of policies, programs, and practices used by these turnaround schools; and compare them to strategies employed by not improving, chronically low-performing schools. The ultimate goal of the study is to specify replicable policies, programs, and practices that hold greatest promise for further rigorous analysis. To this end, the study will collect data from school principals as well as school staff through a Web-based and telephone survey and on-site interviews in selected schools. The data will be used by the U.S. Department of Education to identify policies, programs, and practices associated with school turnaround that can be [[Page 32164]] rigorously tested in a future impact evaluation study.
