    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 62.

    Abstract: The study will examine the implementation of the 
Turnaround School Leaders Program (TSLP) and provide information on how 
grantees (1) identify, develop, and support leaders and aspiring 
leaders of low-performing schools; (2) adjust their project plans, (3) 
use data to examine progress, and (4) work with project partners to 
meet goals. The ultimate purpose of the study is to glean specific 
lessons learned for turnaround leadership development (for the field), 
program improvement (for program staff), and program design (for policy 
makers). The study will include surveys of all (12) Cohort 1 grantees; 
case studies of seven Cohort 1 grantees, including each grantees' 
partners; and an analysis of extant data, including grantee 
applications, early outcomes data, and other relevant project-specific
