Title and OMB Control Number: DoDEA Continuous School Improvement
Student and Parent Surveys, OMB Control Number 0704-TBD.
Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is
necessary in order for schools to identify areas for improvement. Under
the DoDEA Community Strategic Plan, individual schools have a need to
collect data from student(s) and parent(s)/guardian(s) to identify
school-related issues to be addressed through the school improvement
process. Information gathered via these voluntary data collections will
provide individual schools information to determine student and parent/
guardian perceptions of school processes; provide early detection of
school problems; and focus attention on areas that will improve the
quality of education. Schools do not have existing data to meet this
need.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 720.
Number of Respondents: 2160.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
Frequency: Annually.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Every school in the Department of Defense Education Activity is
required annually to develop a school improvement plan. This plan is
necessary to fulfill DoDEA's Community Strategic Plan as well as meet
the requirements set forth by AdvancED, the accrediting agency for
DoDEA's schools. To develop their individual plans, schools have a need
to collect information from students and parents in seven primary
areas: (1) School's vision and purpose, (2) leadership, (3)
instruction, (4) assessments, (5) available resources and support, (6)
communication, and (7) commitment to continuous improvement. The
information gained from this data collection will be used to guide
schools in identifying areas of need, developing strategies to address
areas of concern, and to monitor effects of strategies on major
stakeholders.
