NCLB IMPROVING TEACHER QUALITY GRANT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which reauthorized the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), places a major
emphasis upon teacher quality as a factor in improving student achievement.
As part of
the Teacher and principal Training and Recruitment Fund, the Kansas Board
of Regents is responsible for conducting a competitive Improving Teacher
Quality Grants process to fund partnerships comprised, at a minimum, of
schools of education and schools of arts and sciences from institutions
of higher education (IHEs), along with one or more high need Local Educational
Agencies (LEAs). The partnerships must use the funds to conduct professional
development activities in core academic subjects in order to ensure that
highly qualified teachers, paraprofessionals, and (if appropriate) principals
have subject matter knowledge in the academic subjects they teach, or
in computer-related technology to enhance instruction. The 2003-2004 Competitive
Grants will focus on K-8 Science and computer-related technology to enhance
instruction.
