What Kinds of Grant Funds are Out There?
• Federal Entitlement
• Federal Competitive
• State Entitlement
• State Competitive
• National Foundations
• Local Foundations

10% -- Who CARES????
Why do we care so much about 10% if that’s “all” federal government supplies?
Represents $65 billion dollars Money used for “supplemental” programs
New programs Pilot programs
Very concerned with teacher quality issues Professional development
Money for technology programs 25% for professional development

Federal Funding Review: NCLB
Four “Pillars” of NCLB
1. Accountability (AYP)
2. Proven education methods: Using scientifically-based research (SBR) Providing high-quality staff in every classroom Promoting high-quality professional development
3. Flexibility (spending)
4. Choices for parents (school choice, supplemental services)
10
Adequate Yearly Progress: (AYP)
NCLB Report Cards States report progress
Schools in Need of Improvement (INOP) Have additional professional development
requirements and funds
Highly-qualified staff in core areas Find percentage that meet requirements –
may have extra $$ for professional development
11
Highly Qualified Staff
State certified/licensed At least Bachelor’s degree Demonstrate subject-matter competency
Advanced degree in appropriate major Pass subject-matter competency test
Core academic subjects Each State’s definition of HOUSSE
12
High Quality Professional Development
Components of High Quality Professional Development Programs(NCLB definition)
PBS TeacherLine
Improve teachers' knowledge of academic subjects.
More than 80 research-based courses for teachers at every grade level in reading, mathematics, science, technology integration, teaching strategies, and curriculum mapping. Developed in association with nationally recognized curriculum organizations
Are integral to broad school-wide educational improvement plans.
With an array of courses, teachers can select which course(s) best address their school’s needs for improvement
13
HQPD - Continued
Give teachers and principals the knowledge and skills to help all students meet challenging state academic standards.
Standards-based, content-rich courses provide authentic tasks with real-class applications. Courses are “mapped” to identified needs
Improve classroom management skills
•Proven, scientifically-based teaching strategies and methods to help raise student achievement. •24-hour access to resources and training. •Interactive simulations, streaming video, animations and interactives•Modeling of research-based practices by master practitioners in real classrooms. •Practice and application of skills. •Coaching, feedback and reflection. •Free tutorials, tech tips, classroom management techniques, lesson plans
14
HQPD - Continued
Are sustained, intensive, classroom-focused, and are not one-day or short-term workshops.
Most classes run for at least 6 weeks, providing ample opportunity for discussion, integration, and extended learning. Real class videos and examples embedded in each course.
Advance teacher understanding of effective instructional strategies that are supported by scientifically based research.
More than 80 research-based courses for teachers at every grade level in reading, mathematics, science, technology integration, teaching strategies, and curriculum mapping.
Are developed with extensive participation of teachers, principals, parents, and administrators.
Teachers select which course(s) to enroll in, based on their individual needs and school improvement plans. Schools and districts can customize courses to meet their goals.
15
Provide guidance to enhance parental involvement
PBS TeacherLine offers a course entitled Connecting Family, Community and Schools
Provide training on how to use data and assessments to improve classroom practice and student learning.
PBS TeacherLine reading, math, Capstone and some technology courses address this by asking teachers to work with students to try to identify skill levels and plan future instruction.
