Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
Innovative Assessment Demonstration
Authority Pilot Program-Preliminary
Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 60.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 120.
Abstract: This study will meet the
Congressional mandate to evaluate the
Innovative Assessment Demonstration
Authority Pilot Program (IADA). The
program (Title I, Section 1204 of the
Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA)
allows the U.S. Department of
Education to exempt a handful of states
from certain testing requirements if they
agree to pilot new types of assessments.
The study will produce a ‘‘Progress
Report’’ and a ‘‘Best Practices Report,’’
as mandated by Congress. The Progress
Report will be based on existing
documents from pilot states. The
subsequent Best Practices Report will
add, via surveys, the perspectives of
district leaders, principals, and teachers
on the development, implementation,
and outcomes of IADA assessments.
These reports will help the Department
appropriately target its technical
assistance to tackle the largest barriers
to adequate progress in pilot states, and
provide a valuable guide for other states
that may want to develop a new
assessment in the future.
