The data collection described in this submission includes activities associated with the legislatively mandated evaluation of the Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy (SRCL) program. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide information to policymakers, administrators, and educators regarding the implementation of the SRCL program, including grant award procedures, technical assistance, continuous improvement procedures, and literacy interventions at the school level. Data collection will include interviews with state-level grantees and district administrators; school principals, reading specialists, and teachers; and teacher surveys. In addition, the study team will conduct site visits to 50 schools and observe instruction in 100 classrooms using SRCL-funded literacy interventions, however the study team does not request clearance for these observations, which impose no burden. The study team also will collect and review grantee and subgrantee applications and comprehensive literacy plans.
