**CLOSING DATE: 1/21/2009**

November 2008

Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in the Transition to Teaching program. This
is a critical time in our national effort to ensure that talented and
caring teachers fill every classroom and all children have the
opportunity to achieve to high standards. This is especially true in
high-need schools and districts.

The Transition to Teaching program is designed to address this challenge
by helping high-need schools operated by high-need local educational
agencies (LEAs) recruit and retain the highly qualified teachers that
students in those schools need to help them achieve to rigorous academic
standards. It does so by supporting national, state, and local programs
that make use of alternative pathways to teacher certification to
recruit, train, place, and retain highly qualified teachers in high-need
schools in high-need districts.

The groups targeted by the program to become teachers are: (1) highly
qualified mid-career professionals; (2) highly qualified
paraprofessionals; and (3) recent college graduates. Eligible grant
applicants are: State educational agencies (SEAs); local educational
agencies (LEAs); for-profit and nonprofit organizations that have a
proven record of effectively recruiting and retaining highly qualified
teachers, in partnership with high-need LEAs or SEAs; institutions of
higher education, in partnership with high-need LEAs or SEAs; regional
consortia of SEAs; or consortia of high-need LEAs. In the Fiscal Year
2009 competition for grants, competitive priority points will be awarded
to 1) a partnership or a consortium that includes a high-need SEA or
LEA; and 2) high-need LEAs that propose projects to streamline teacher
hiring systems, timelines, and processes. Eligible applicants may apply
for an award for up to five years.

The Department has established separate funding categories for projects
of different scope. These categories are: (1) local projects (84.350A),
that serve one eligible high-need LEA or two or more eligible high-need
LEAs in close proximity to one another; (2) statewide projects
(84.350B), that serve eligible high-need LEAs statewide or in more than
one area of a state; and (3) national/regional projects (84.350C), that
serve eligible high-need LEAs in more than one state. While the same
requirements and selection criteria apply to all applications, it is
important to indicate the application pool in which you desire to have
your application reviewed.

The application package contains all the forms and instructions that
applicants will need to apply for an FY 2009 Transition to Teaching
grant. Please review the entire application package carefully before
preparing and submitting your application. Note that all applications
must be submitted using Grants.gov for which you must register prior to
submitting your application.

If you desire further information concerning this program or the
application process, please contact Thelma Leenhouts, by writing to her
at the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and
Improvement, Teacher Quality Programs, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Room
4W302, Washington, DC, 20202-5960; via phone at 202-260-0223; or by
e-mail at <Transitiontoteaching@ed.gov>.

Again, thank you for your interest in the Transition to Teaching program
and your commitment to helping high-need districts recruit and retain
talented and qualified teachers to ensure that all of our students
achieve to high standards.

***[Grants.gov Submission Procedures and Tips for
Applicants]{.underline}***

To facilitate your use of Grants.gov, this document includes important
submission procedures you need to be aware of to ensure your application
is received in a timely manner and accepted by the Department of
Education.

**ATTENTION**

Applications submitted to Grants.gov for the Department of Education
will be posted using Adobe forms. Therefore, applicants will need to
download the latest version of Adobe reader (at least Adobe Reader
8.1.2). Information on computer and operating system compatibility with
Adobe and links to download the latest version is available on
Grants.gov. We strongly recommend that you review these details on
[www.Grants.gov](http://www.Grants.gov/) before completing and
submitting your application. In addition, applicants should submit their
application a day or two in advance of the closing date as detailed
below. Applicants will no longer need to use the PureEdge software to
create or submit an application. If you have any questions regarding
this matter please email the Grants.gov Contact Center at
<support@grants.gov> or call 1-800-518-4726.

1)  **REGISTER EARLY** -- Grants.gov registration may take five or more
    business days to complete. You may begin working on your application
    while completing the registration process, but you cannot submit an
    application until all of the Registration steps are complete. For
    detailed information on the Registration Steps, please go to:
    [http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp](http://www.grants.gov/GetStarted).
    \[Note: Your organization will need to update its Central Contractor
    Registry (CCR) registration annually.\]

2)  **SUBMIT EARLY** -- **We strongly recommend that you do not wait
    until the last day to submit your application. Grants.gov will put a
    date/time stamp on your application and then process it after it is
    fully uploaded.** The time it takes to upload an application will
    vary depending on a number of factors including the size of the
    application and the speed of your Internet connection, and the time
    it takes Grants.gov to process the application will vary as well. If
    Grants.gov rejects your application (see step three below), you will
    need to resubmit successfully before 4:30:00 p.m. Washington, DC
    time on the deadline date.

> **Note: To submit successfully, you must provide the DUNS number on
> your application that was used when your organization registered with
> the CCR (Central Contractor Registry).**

3)  **VERIFY SUBMISSION IS OK** -- You will want to verify that
    Grants.gov and the Department of Education receive your Grants.gov
    submission timely and that it was validated successfully. To see the
    date/time your application was received, login to Grants.gov and
    click on the Track My Application link. For a successful submission,
    the date/time received should be earlier than 4:30:00 p.m.
    Washington, DC time, on the deadline date, AND the application
    status should be: Validated, Received by Agency, or Agency Tracking
    Number Assigned.

> If the date/time received is later than 4:30:00 p.m. Washington, D.C.
> time, on the deadline date, your application is late. If your
> application has a status of "Received" it is still awaiting validation
> by Grants.gov. Once validation is complete, the status will either
> change to "Validated" or "Rejected with Errors." If the status is
> "Rejected with Errors," your application has not been received
> successfully. Some of the reasons Grants.gov may reject an application
> can be found on the Grants.gov site:
> <http://www.grants.gov/applicants/applicant_faqs.jsp#54>. For more
> detailed information on why an application may be rejected, you can
> review Application Error Tips
> <http://www.grants.gov/section910/ApplicationErrorTips.pdf>. If you
> discover your application is late or has been rejected, please see the
> instructions below. Note: You will receive a series of confirmations
> both online and via e-mail about the status of your application.
> Please do not rely solely on e-mail to confirm whether your
> application has been received timely and validated successfully.

# Submission Problems -- What should you do?

If you have problems submitting to Grants.gov before the closing date,
please contact Grants.gov Customer Support at 1-800-518-4726 or
<http://www.grants.gov/contactus/contactus.jsp>, or use the customer
support available on the Web site:
<http://www.grants.gov/applicants/applicant_help.jsp>.

If electronic submission is [optional]{.underline} and you have problems
that you are unable to resolve before the deadline date and time for
electronic applications, please follow the transmittal instructions for
hard copy applications in the Federal Register notice and get a hard
copy application postmarked by midnight on the deadline date.

If electronic submission is [required]{.underline}, you must submit an
electronic application before 4:30:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time, unless
you follow the procedures in the Federal Register notice and qualify for
one of the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement
[and]{.underline} submit, no later than two weeks before the application
deadline date, a written statement to the Department that you qualify
for one of these exceptions. (See the Federal Register notice for
detailed instructions.)

# Helpful Hints When Working with Grants.gov

Please note, once you download an application from Grants.gov, you will
be working offline and saving data on your computer. Please be sure to
note where you are saving the Grants.gov file on your computer. You will
need to logon to Grants.gov to upload and submit the application. **You
must provide on your application the DUNS number that was used when your
organization registered with the CCR.**

Please go to <http://www.grants.gov/applicants/applicant_help.jsp> for
help with Grants.gov. For additional tips related to submitting grant
applications, please refer to the Grants.gov Submit Application FAQs
found on the Grants.gov
<http://www.grants.gov/help/submit_application_faqs.jsp>.

# 

# Dial-Up Internet Connections

When using a dial up connection to upload and submit your application,
it can take significantly longer than when you are connected to the
Internet with a high-speed connection, e.g. cable modem/DSL/T1. While
times will vary depending upon the size of your application, it can take
a few minutes to a few hours to complete your grant submission using a
dial up connection. **If you do not have access to a high-speed
connection and electronic submission is required, you may want to
consider following the instructions in the Federal Register notice to
obtain an exception to the electronic submission requirement no later
than two weeks before the application deadline date.** (See the Federal
Register notice for detailed instructions.)

# 

# MAC Users

If you do not have a Windows operating System, you may need to use the
Citrix solution discussed on Grants.gov to submit an application using
Grants.gov. For additional information, review the FAQs for non-windows
users <http://www.grants.gov/help/download_software.jsp>. **If
electronic submission is required and you are concerned about your
ability to submit electronically as a non-windows user, please follow
instructions in the Federal Register notice to obtain an exception to
the electronic submission requirement no later than two weeks before the
application deadline date.** (See the Federal Register notice for
detailed instructions.)

**Attaching Files -- Additional Tips**

Please note the following tips related to attaching files to your
application:

1.  Ensure that you only attach the Education approved file types
    detailed in the Federal Register application notice (.doc, .pdf or
    .rtf). Also, do not upload any password protected files to your
    application.

2.  Grants.gov cannot process an application that includes two or more
    files that have the same name within a grant submission. Therefore,
    each file uploaded to your application package should have a unique
    file name.

3.  When attaching files, applicants should limit the size of their file
    names. Lengthy file names could result in difficulties with opening
    and processing your application. We recommend you keep your file
    names to less than 50 characters. In addition, applicants should
    avoid including special characters in their file names (for example,
    %, \*, /, etc.) Both of these conditions (lengthy file names and/or
    special characters including in the file names) could result in
    difficulties opening and processing a submitted application.

Applicants should limit the size of their file attachments. Documents
submitted that contain graphics and/or scanned material often greatly
increase the size of the file attachments and can result in difficulties
opening the files. For reference, the average discretionary grant
application package totals 1 to 2 MB. Therefore, you may want to check
the total size of your package before submission.

#### Instructions for D-U-N-S Number 

#### 

**All applicants must have a D-U-N-S number in order to apply for
federal funds.**

The DUNS number used on the application must be the same number that the
applicant's organization used to register with Grants.gov. If the
numbers are not the same, Grants.gov will reject the application.

NOTE: Check with your fiscal office to see if your institution has an
assigned D-U-N-S before contacting Dun & Bradstreet.

Please provide the applicant\'s D‑U‑N‑S Number. You can obtain your
D‑U‑N‑S Number at no charge by calling **1‑800‑333‑0505** or by
completing a D‑U‑N‑S Number Request Form. The form can be obtained via
the Internet at the following URL:

<http://www.dnb.com/US/duns_update/index.html>

The D‑U‑N‑S Number is a unique nine‑digit number that does not convey
any information about the recipient. A built in check digit helps assure
the accuracy of the D‑U‑N‑S Number. The ninth digit of each number is
the check digit, which is mathematically related to the other digits. It
lets computer systems determine if a D‑U‑N‑S Number has been entered
correctly.

Dun & Bradstreet, a global information services provider, has assigned
D‑U‑N‑S numbers to over 43 million companies worldwide. **For live help
Monday-Friday 8am-6pm (EST) dial 1-888-814-1435.**

Note: Electronic submission via Grants.gov must use the D-U-N-S number
your organization used when it registered in the Central Contractor
Registry.

>
> \(a\) *Examine its current hiring system, processes, and policies to

> The lack of highly qualified teachers in most urban and rural LEAs has

> and policies and, based upon that examination, identify the critical
> barriers to hiring highly qualified teachers.
>
> \(b\) *Design and implement efforts to remove the identified barriers
> and put in place systems that streamline and revamp the hiring
> process.* In conducting this activity, LEAs are encouraged to create

> determined on the basis of the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data.
> The most recent U.S. Census Bureau data can be found in the charts on
> the Internet at: *http://
> [www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/](http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/)
> district.htmJ.* The Department examines

the eligibility of any LEA not listed on these charts on a case-by-case
basis.

> We understand that the U.S. Census Bureau may release data for 2007
> before the closing date for applications under this competition. If
> the U.S. Census Bureau publishes 2007 poverty data before the
> application due date, the Department will consider U.S. Census Bureau
> poverty data available for either 2005 or 2007 to be the most recent.
> Hence, if the U.S. Census Bureau releases its poverty data for 2007
> prior to the closing date of this competition, we will consider an LEA
> to have the requisite poverty needed to be a \"high­need LEA\" if the
> LEA had the requisite level of poverty, based on the U.S. Census
> Bureau data, in either 2005 or 2007. If the U.S. Census Bureau does
> not release the 2007 poverty data, we will rely on the U.S. Census
> Bureau\'s poverty data for 2005.

> As discussed in the NFP, with respect to component (b)(l) of the
> definition of \"high-need LEA,\" whether an LEA has a \"high
> percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade
> levels that the teachers were trained to teach\" is determined on a
> case-by-case basis.
>
> In addition, as noted in the NFP, with respect to component (b)(2) of
> the definition of \"high-need LEA,\" an LEA has a \"high percentage\"
> of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or
> licensing if the percentage of teachers on waivers, as the LEA
> reported to the State for purposes of the State\'s latest report to
> the Secretary under section 207 of the Higher Education Act of 1965
> (HEA), was at least the national average percentage of teachers on
> waivers of State certification for all LEAs. As outlined in the NFP,
> the Secretary determines the national average percentage of teachers
> on waivers based on data contained in the most currently available HEA
> section 207 State reports. At the time of publication of this notice,
> the Department has received all 2007 State HEA section 207 reports and
> those reports reflect a national percentage of teachers on waivers of
> State certification in all LEAs of 1.5 percent.
>
> Accordingly, an LEA will be considered to have met component (b)(2) of

V.  Application Review Information

> *1. Selection Criteria:* The selection criteria for this competition
> are from the statute for this program and § 75.210 of EDGAR and are
> listed in this section. The maximum score for all the selection
> criteria is 100 points. The maximum score for each criterion is
> indicated in parentheses. Each criterion also includes the factors
> that the reviewers will consider in determining how well an
> application meets the criterion. In addressing each criterion,
> applicants are encouraged to make explicit connections to relevant
> aspects of responses to other selection criteria.
>
> The *Notes* we have included after each criterion are guidance to
> assist applicants in understanding the criterion as they prepare their
> applications and are not required by statute or regulation.
>
> A. *Quality of the Project Design* (35 points).
>
> The Secretary considers the quality of the project design for the
> proposed project by considering how well the applicant describes a
> plan-
>
> \(1\) To recruit and retain highly qualified mid-career professionals
> (including highly qualified paraprofessionals) and recent graduates of
> an IHE as teachers in high-need schools operated by high-need LEAs;
> and
>
> \(2\) To enable individuals to become eligible for teacher
> certification under State-approved alternative routes to certification
> programs within a reduced period of time, relying on such factors as
> experience, expertise, and academic qualifications in lieu of
> traditional course-work in education.
>
> In considering the quality of the project design and the applicant\'s
> plan, the Secretary considers the following factors:
>
> \(a\) The extent to which the goals, objectives, and outcomes to be
> achieved by the proposed project are clearly specified and measurable.
>
> \(b\) The extent to which the design of the proposed project reflects
> up-to-date knowledge from research and effective practice.
>
> \(c\) The extent to which the design of the proposed project is
> appropriate to,

and will successfully address, the needs of the target population or
other identified needs.

> \(d\) The extent to which the proposed project is designed to build
> capacity and yield results that will extend beyond the period of
> Federal financial assistance.
>
> Note: The Secretary encourages applicants to address this criterion by
> discussing the overall project design and its key components, and the
> degree to which the design\'s key components are based on sound
> research and practice. Applicants are also encouraged to address this
> criterion by connecting the project design to the needs of the partner
> districts and identifying the specific teacher-shortage areas faced by
> the participating high-need LEAs on which their proposed project would
> focus. Applicants should understand that a project\'s strategy for
> helping participating high-need LEAs to identify and hire highly
> qualified individuals to fill teaching positions in high-need subjects
> may rely on existing alternative routes to certification, the
> expansion of alternative routes to certification into new areas, or
> the creation of wholly new alternative routes.
>
> Additionally, applicants are encouraged to address such key comfonents
> of project design as:
>
> (1 Recruitment and selection, including identifying the target
> group(s) on which the program will focus and why and how the project
> is designed to rigorously select participants with the requisite
> content knowledge, skills, and commitment to teach in high-need
> schools in high-need LEAs. Recruitment may include members of groups
> that are traditionally underrepresented.
>
> \(2\) Preparation, including how the project provides a route to
> certification that is accelerated, integrates coursework and field
> experience, is adapted to participants\' learning needs, and will
> yield highly qualified teachers who are prepared to teach in high-need
> schools in high-need LEAs.
>
> \(3\) Teacher placement, including evidence that the proposed project
> will meet the needs of high-need LEAs and is developed in coordination
> with appropriate partners, and that the project includes a system of
> tracking to meet statutory requiremepts.
>
> \(4\) Support services, including mentoring, that are designed to
> retain participants and meet their needs in terms of length, content,
> and means of delivery in order to be successful in high-need schools
> in high-need LEAs.
>
> \(5\) Certification, including consideration of how the timeline for
> achieving certification will meet the needs of participants, LEAs, and
> partners, as well as the \"Highly Qualified Teacher\" requirements
> established in section 9101(23) of the ESEA.
>
> **Federal** Register/Vol. 73, No. 220/Thursday, November 13,
> 200S/Notices
>
> **67147**
>
> In addition, applicants are encouraged to clarify the means by which
> the project\'s specified outcomes and benefits may be sustained once
> Federal funding has ended.
>
> B. *Quality of the Project Evaluation* (25 points). The Secretary
> considers the quality of the evaluation to be conducted of the
> proposed project. In determining the quality of the evaluation to be
> conducted, the Secretary considers the following factors:
>
> \(1\) The extent to which the methods of evaluation include the use of
> objective performance measures that are clearly related to the
> intended outcomes of the project and will produce quantitative and
> qualitative data to the extent possible.
>
> \(2\) The extent to which the methods of evaluation will provide
> performance feedback and permit periodic assessment of progress toward
> achieving intended outcomes.
>
> Note: The Secretary encourages applicants to address this criterion by
> including benchmarks to monitor progress toward specific and
> measurable program and project objectives, as well as performance
> measures to assess the impact on teaching and learning or other
> important outcomes for project participants. The Secretary encourages
> applicants to consider the use of a logic model in determining
> intended short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes. (The
> specific performance measures established for the overall Transition
> to Teaching program are discussed under *Performance Measures* in
> section VI of this notice. Section 2314 of the ESEA also requires
> grantees to submit both an interim evaluation of the first three years
> of the grant and a final evaluation at the end of the grant.)
>
> With respect to the implementation of the project and monitoring
> progress toward achieving project objectives, applicants are
> encouraged to describe the following: (1) What types of data will be
> collected; (2) when various types of data will be collected; (3) what
> methods will be used; (4) what instruments will be developed and when;
> (5) how the data will be analyzed; (6) when reports of results and
>
> outcomes will be available; and (7) how the applicant will use the
> information collected through the evaluation to monitor progress and
> improve implementation of the funded project and to provide
> accountability information about project success. Applicants are
> encouraged to design an evaluation that provides data for annual as
> well as midpoint and final reporting. Applicants are encouraged to
> devote an appropriate level of resources to project evaluation.
>
> Finally, the Secretary encourages applicants to identify the
> individual or

organization that has agreed to serve as the objective evaluator for the
project and describe the qualifications of that evaluator.

> C. *Quality of Project Services (20* points).
>
> In determining the quality of the services to be provided by the
> proposed project, the Secretary considers the following factors:
>
> \(1\) The extent to which the services to be provided by the proposed
> project are appropriate to the needs of the intended recipients or
> beneficiaries of those services.
>
> \(2\) The extent to which the training or professional development
> services to be provided by the proposed project are of sufficient
> quality, intensity, and duration to lead to improvements in practice
> among the reci pients of those services.
>
> \(3\) The extent to which the training or professional development
> services to be provided by the proposed project are likely to
> alleviate the personnel shortages that have been identified or are the
> focus of the proposed project.
>
> \(4\) The extent to which the services to be provided by the proposed
> project involve the collaboration of appropriate partners for
> maximizing the effectiveness of project services.
>
> Note: The Secretary encourages applicants to address this criterion by
> discussing how the proposed project services will meet the needs of
> both the high-need LEAs identified in the application and the project
> participants they would recruit to become teachers. Applicants are
> encouraged to consult the list of authorized activities in section
> 2313(g) of the ESEA in describing the specific services to be deli
> vered to recruit, prepare, and retain participants that will increase

Transition to Teaching

> AGENCY: Office of Innovation and Improvement. Department of Education.
> ACTION: Notice of final priorities and [requirements.]{.underline}
>
> SUMMARY: The Deputy Under Secretary for Innovation and Improvement
> announces two priorities under the Transition to Teaching program. The
> Deputy Under Secretary may use one or more of these priorities for
> competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2004 and later years. We take this
> action to focus Federal financial assistance on State efforts to
> create or expand alternative routes to teacher certification and
> district efforts to streamline teacher hiring systems and processes.
> We intend for the priorities to help States and districts under this
> program to lower barriers to certification and hiring and increase the
> number of highly qualified teachers who are recruited into teaching
> from nontraditional sources. The Deputy Under Secretary also announces
> minimum requirements that are needed for efficient grant competitions
> for FY 2004 and future years. and to ensure that grantees focus their
> program funds on direct costs of their projects. EFFECTIVE DATE: These
> priorities and requirements are effective June 1. 2004. FOR FURTHER
> INFORMATION CONTACT:

> SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
>
> General
>
> With the beginning of the 2002-2003 school year. Title I of the
> Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). as reauthorized
> by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Public Law
>
> 107 -110 (NCLB). required that all newly hired teachers of core
> academic subjects who teach in Title I programs be highly qualified.
> and. by the end of the 2005­2006 school year. Title I requires that all
> school district teachers of core academic
>
> subjects be highly qualified. Both States and local districts face
> challenges in meeting these requirements.
>
> The Transition to Teaching program is designed to address these
> challenges by helping high-need schools operated by high-need local
> educational agencies (LEAs) secure and retain the highly qualified
> teachers that students in those schools need to help them achieve to
> challenging academic standards. It does so by encouraging the
> development and expansion of alternative pathways to teacher
> certification. and by supporting local programs that make use of these
> alternative pathways to recruit. hire.
>
> and retain highly qualified teachers.
>
> Transition to Teaching projects: (I) Recruit as teachers talented
> mid-career professionals. recent college graduates who have not
> completed a teacher preparation program. and qualified school
> paraprofessionals; and (2) help these individuals to become
> successfully certified and licensed classroom teachers in high-need
> schools of high-need LEAs.
>
> Through this notice. we establish two funding priorities for this
> program. The Department may decide to use these priorities in the FY
> 2004 competition and in future competitions as well. One priority
> focuses on State projects to create or expand. and then implement.
> alternative pathways to teacher certification. The other priority
> focuses on school district projects to streamline teacher hiring
> systems. timelines. and processes.
>
> Establishing these priorities makes it possible to focus program funds
> at both the State level. where decisions on teacher certification
> requirements are made. and at the district level. where responsibility
> for hiring resides. These priorities are designed to open up
> certification through alternative pathways and to streamline district
> hiring practices. both of which are necessary to help States and LEAs
> improve their recruitment practices and, by doing so. address the NCLB
> highly qualified teacher requirement and increase the overall quality
> of their teaching force.
>
> We published a notice of proposed priorities and requirements for this
> program in the Federal Register on February 20.2004 (69 FR 7914-7919).
>
> Analysis of Comments and Changes
>
> In response to our invitation in the notice of proposed priorities and
> requirements. 13 parties submitted comments on the proposed priorities
> and requirements. An analysis of the comments and of any changes in
> the priorities and requirements since
>
> publication of the notice of proposed priorities and requirements
> follows.
>
> We group our discussion of the issues raised by the commenters into
> two groups-proposed priorities and proposed requirements. Generally.
> we do not address technical and other minor changes-and suggested
> changes the law does not authorize us to make under the applicable
> statutory authority. However. in this notice. we have included a
> discussion of comments that were related to statutory issues so that
> we can provide needed clarification on these issues.
>
> Proposed Priorities
>
> *Comment:* While generally pleased with Priority 1. which focuses on
> creation or expansion of alternative routes to certification as the
> vehicle for recruiting and hiring teachers in high­need schools
> operated by high-need LEAs. one commenter recommended that we permit
> independent State teacher certification agencies to apply for a grant
> on their own behalf rather than jointly with the State educational

agencies (SEAs). .

> *Discussion:* The ESEA does not permIt an independent State teacher
> certification agency to apply on its own behalf for a grant under this
> program. Section 2313(b) of the ESEA provides that the following
> entities are eligible to receive a Transition to Teaching grant:
>
> An SEA. a high-need LEA, a for-profit or not-for-profit organization
> that has a proven record of effectively recruiting and retaining
> highly qualified teachers in a partnership with a high-need LEA or
> SEA. or an institution of higher education in partnership with a
> high­need LEA or with an SEA, or consortia of SEAs or high-need LEAs.
>
> Section 910 I (41) of the ESEA defines an SEA as \"the agency
> primarily responsible for the State supervision of public elementary
> schools and secondary schools.\" An independent State teacher
> certification agency would not meet this definition. Thus. absent a
> change in the statute. to be eligible for
>
> a grant under this program. an independent State teacher certification
> agency may only apply in partnership with a high-need LEA or SEA.
>
> *Change:* None.
>
> *Comments:* One commenter recommended the elimination of Priority 2.
> which focuses on streamlining district hiring systems and policies.
> The commenter stated that the proposed priority does not address the
> major obstacles to teacher recruitment and placement. which the
> commenter characterized as State fiscal issues and legislative
> unresponsiveness. Two other commenters expressed support for this
>

>
> priority, indicating that it addresses a critical need.
>
> *Discussion:* While State budget constraints and legislative inaction
> may indeed impede district efforts to hire highly qualified and
> effective teachers, they are beyond the capacity of this program to
> address. On the other hand, the priority addresses a barrier that is a
> significant one for large numbers of school districts throughout the
> country, especially urban ones. In this regard, research conducted by
> The New Teacher Project and described in its 2003 publication,
> \"Missed Opportunities: How We Keep High­Quality Teachers Out of Urban
> Classrooms,\" confirms that untimely and inefficient district hiring
> policies and practices result in the inability to hire large numbers
> of qualified individuals already recruited to teach in urban school
> districts. Through this priority, the Transition to Teaching program
> can support local efforts to address this problem.
>
> *Change:* None.
>
> *Comments:* Four commenters recommended the addition of a third
> priority focusing on the preparation of teachers of English as a
> Second Language (ESL) and bilingual teachers who could address the
> critical needs of English language learners in their States. One
> commenter recommended a priority for bilingual teachers with expertise
> in mathematics, science, English, and social studies.
>
> *Discussion:* We have acknowledged the need for teachers of English
> language learners by including ESL in the definition of \"high-need
> subjects\" in which a recruited individual may teach. However, we do
> not believe that the competition should favor recruitment of teachers
> of particular subgroups of students or in particular subject areas.
> Rather, we believe that applicants should be free to tailor their
> program applications to address the teacher­shortage needs of the
> high-need LEAs that would participate in the project, including the
> need for ESL and
>
> bilingual teachers.
>
> *Change:* None.
>
> Proposed Requirements
>
> *Comments:* A few commenters recommended revisions in proposed
> requirements that would require statutory changes. For example,
> commenters recommended revising the proposed requirement that
> participants who want to teach in secondary schools must have
> completed an academic major or the equivalent in the core academic
> subject the participants would teach. One commenter suggested, in the
> alternative, that individuals who would
>
> teach in secondary schools be eligible to participate if they have
> passed the State standardized subject matter competency examination in
> the core academic subject they will teach. Commenters further
> recommended that we: (I) Eliminate the requirement that participants,
> other than qualified mid­career changers (including qualified
> paraprofessionals), have graduated from institutions of higher
> education not less than three years before seeking a teaching position
> through this program; (2) eliminate the requirement that prospective
> teachers be placed only in high-need schools operated by high­need
> LEAs; and (3) expand program eligibility to include organizations that
> train older workers as teachers\' aides, thereby allowing these
> agencies to partner with school districts in order to increase the
> number of teachers\' aides.
>
> Finally, one commenter expressed concern about the definition of
> high­need LEA, particularly paragraphs (b)(I) and (2) of section 2102
> (3) of the ESEA. This provision, applicable to the Transition to
> Teaching program by virtue of section 2102(3), requires that
>
> in addition to having high poverty a high-need LEA have \"(I) a high
> percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade
> levels the teachers were trained to teach, or (2) a high percentage of
> teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or
> licensing.\" Given State policy changes in response to the highly
> qualified teacher requirements of NCLB, the commenter stressed that
> districts will experience increasing difficulty in being able to meet
> either element of this criterion.
>
> *Discussion:* These commenters all seek changes to statutory
> provisions governing a participant\'s eligibility and service
> obligation, contained in sections 2312(1) and (2) and 2313(i) of the
> ESEA. We have no authority to make the changes the commenters seek.
>
> With regard to the definition of \"high­need LEA\" in sections 2102(3)
> and 2312(2) of the ESEA, we are aware that, as they implement the
> highly qualified teacher requirements in sections 1119 and 9101 (23)
> of the ESEA. fewer and fewer LEAs will have high percentages of
> uncertified teachers or teachers teaching out of field. The law sets
> as a goal that, by the end of the 2005-2006 school year, LEAs will
> have only certified teachers with demonstrated content knowledge
> teaching in core academic subjects, and hence LEAs would have no
> teachers teaching these subjects out-of-field.
>
> As we discuss under the Definitions heading in the \"Requirements for
> the FY 2004 and Future Year Grant
>
> Competitions and Award of Funds\" section of this notice, the
> Department is continuing to determine the \"high percentage\" of
> uncertified teachers that would enable an LEA-with the requisite level
> of poverty-to meet the definition of a \"high-need LEA\" on the basis
> of national data that States report under section 207 of the Higher
> Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). In their HEA reports, States
> annually provide the Department, among other things, with the
> percentages of teachers for LEAs as a whole and for high-poverty LEAs
> who are teaching with some kind of waiver of State certification
> requirements, *i.e.,* the percentage of teachers who LEAs report to
> their States are uncertified. For the FY 2002 Transition to Teaching
> program competition, the Department determined that the average
> percentage of teachers on waivers in high-poverty LEAs, as reflected
> in the October 2001 HEA State reports, was the best proxy for a high
> percentage of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary
> certification or licensing that would permit an LEA to qualify as
> \"high­need.\"
>
> The most recent HEA reports submitted in October 2003 indicate that
> the national average of uncertified teachers in high-poverty LEAs last
> year was eight (8) percent, down from eleven (11) percent in the
> 2001-02 school year. However, in reconsidering this matter we believe
> that it is reasonable to consider a \"high percentage\" of teachers
> with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing
> to be equal to or greater than the national average percentage of
> teachers on waivers in *all* LEAs as reported in the most current HEA
> reports-rather than the average percentage only in high­poverty LEAs.
> All high-need LEAs must meet the statutory criterion of high poverty.
> But we see no reason to further restrict the number of LEAs that can
> benefit from this program by also requiring that they have at least
> the national percentage of teachers on waivers in *high-poverty LEAs.*
>
> *Change:* For purposes of the FY 2004 and future year competitions, an
> LEA that meets the poverty threshold of the definition of \"high-need
> LEA\" will be considered a high-need LEA if it has at least the
> percentage of teachers on waivers of State certification as the
> national average of all LEAs. To demonstrate that it meets this
> requirement, the LEA will use the data it provided to the State on the
> percentage of its teachers on waivers of State certification, and
> which the State then used in completing its most recent HEA report to
> the Secretary.

> *Comment:* One commenter requested that we define the term
> \"highly­qualified paraprofessional\" so that applicants would know

>
> *Discussion:* Section 2312(1) of the ESEA provides that individuals
> eligible to participate in Transition to Teaching programs include
> \"an individual with substantial demonstrable career experience,
> including a highly-qualified paraprofessional.\" While the section of
> the statute authorizing the Transition to Teaching program does not

>
> Section 2123(a) (2) (C) (ii) of the ESEA uses this term to identify

>
> *Change:* The final requirements for this competition include the

> section 2102 (4) of the ESEA.
>
> *Comments:* Two commenters recommended that teachers who already have
> certification or licensure in one subject area be eligible to

> the proposed requirement that these teachers not be eligible.
>
> *Discussion:* The Transition to Teaching program statute provides that
> projects are to increase the number of teachers in high-need schools

> *Discussion:* We do not dispute that many individuals now teaching on

> *Discussion:* We do not minimize the need for high-need schools in

> qualified and effective teachers
>
> in high-need schools operated by high­need LEAs through alternative

>
> Consistent with the purpose of NCLB as a whole, we continue to believe

> Transition to Teaching projects use program funds to recruit teachers
> who can help students to achieve in the core academic subjects that
> are of highest priority in NCLB. The ESEA defines these subjects in

> which participants of this program may teach to include special
> education and English as a Second Language (ESL) because of the
> substantial need that many high-need LEAs have for teachers in these
> areas who can help students with disabilities and English language

>
> *Change:* None.
>
> *Comment:* One commenter recommended that we clarify the repayment

>
> *Discussion:* As section 23130) of the ESEA requires, we are in the

> Priorities
>
> *Priority I-State Projects to Create* or *Expand, and Then Implement,
> Alternative Pathways to Teacher Certification*
>
> This priority supports projects designed and implemented by an SEA or
> a consortium of SEAs and the respective teacher certification agency
> of each State (if different from the SEA) to create or expand, and
> then implement, alternative pathways to certification. The project
> period is up to five years. Grantees will need to conduct both of the
> following activities:
>
> \(a\) *Create alternatives to the State\'s traditional certification
> requirements.* In conducting this activity, States are encouraged to
> develop a variety of alternative pathways to certification as
> important options in their menu of State-approved procedures for
> teacher certification and licensure. For example, competency-based
> alternative routes would permit talented individuals interested in
> teaching to become fully certified through rigorous assessments of
> their content and professional teaching competence, thereby enabling
> LEAs to recruit from a larger and more talented pool of prospective
> teachers.
>
> \(b\) *Use the alternative routes to recruit individuals from groups
> eligible to participate in the Transition to Teaching program.* Funded
> projects also would, among other things, need to work with
> participating high-need LEAs to-
>
> \(1\) Increase the number and quality of mid-career changers, recent
> college graduates who have not majored in education, and qualified
> paraprofessionals recruited to teach high-need subjects (such as
> mathematics. science, and special education) in identified high-need
> LEAs (which may include LEAs that are charter schools), particularly
> those in urban and rural areas; and
>
> \(2\) Provide these newly hired teachers with the support they need to
> become certified and effective teachers who will choose to make
> teaching their new long­term profession.
>
> In particular, SEAs receiving project funds must-
>
> \(i\) Target recruitment efforts on, and rigorously screen, candidates
> in areas where participating high-need LEAs have documented teacher
> shortages *(e.g.,* mathematics, science, and special education);
>
> \(ii\) Place prospective teachers only in high-need schools operated
> by high­need LEAs;
>
> \(iii\) Prepare individuals for specific positions in specific LEAs
> and place
>
> them in these positions early in the training process;
>
> \(iv\) Ensure that recruited teachers receive the specific training
> they need to become fully certified or licensed teachers; and
>
> \(v\) Have recruited teachers participate in a well-supervised
> induction period that may include the support of experienced, trained
> mentors.
>
> *Priority 2-District Projects to Streamline Teacher Hiring Systems,
> Timelines. and Processes*
>
> This priority supports projects by one or more high-need LEAs to
> streamline their hiring systems, timelines, and processes. The project
> period is up to five years. A participating high-need LEA will need to
> conduct both of the following activities:
>
> \(a\) *Examine its current hiring system. processes, and policies to
> identify the critical barriers to hiring highly qualified teachers.*
> The lack of highly qualified teachers in most urban and rural LEAs has
> often been attributed to their difficulty in recruiting interested and
> qualified individuals. However. recent research indicates that the
> problem may not be one of recruitment but may stem from inefficient
> and untimely LEA hiring systems and processes. This is especially true
> in high-poverty LEAs and schools-the very LEAs and schools the
> Transition to Teaching program is targeted to serve. Accordingly. each
> participating LEA will need to examine its current hiring processes
> and policies and, based upon that examination. identify the critical
> barriers to hiring highly qualified teachers.
>
> \(b\) *Design and implement efforts to remove the identified barriers
> and put in place systems that streamline and revamp the hiring
> process.* In conducting this activity. LEAs are encouraged to create
> an efficient and timely applicant hiring process with a strong data
> tracking system and clear hiring goals. These efforts also should
> involve negotiating policy reforms that remove critical barriers, such
> as delayed notification of vacancies and seniority and retirement
> rules.
>
> Participating LEAs also will carry out the requirements of the
> Transition to Teaching program by recruiting nontraditional
> candidates. using the streamlined hiring system to hire these
> individuals for teaching in high-need schools, working with them to
> achieve full State certification, and retaining them for at least
> three years.
>
> Requirements for the FY 2004 and Future Year Grant Competitions and
> Award of Funds
>
> In order to promote both a fair and efficient program competition and
> appropriate uses of Transition to Teaching program funds. the Deputy
> Under Secretary announces the following requirements to govern grant
> competitions and awards in FY 2004 and later years. For the most part,
> these requirements are the same as those that the Department announced
> in the Federal Register on June 17, 2002 (67 FR 41221-41224) and
> successfully used for the FY 2002 Transition to Teaching program
> competition and grants awarded under it. The Notice Inviting
> Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year 2002 is available on the
> Internet at the following site:
> *[www.gpoaccess.gov/](http://www.gpoaccess.gov/) fr/index.html.* The
> only exceptions concern:
>
> • A requirement. discussed in the section\" Application Content\".
> under which each applicant will need to include in its application a
> statement that each participating LEA will. rather than intends to.
> hire project participants. assuming that it has positions to fill and
> is satisfied that the partici pants are qualified to teach these
> subjects;
>
> • A requirement discussed in the section \"Participant Eligibility\",
> that closes a loophole that has permitted some grantees to recruit
> existing teachers into their projects; and
>
> • Use of the average percentage of teachers with waivers of State
> certification requirements in *all* LEAs. rather than the average
> percentage in only high-poverty LEAs-as reflected in State reports
> submitted to the Department under section 207 of the HEA-as the
> measure of when an LEA with the required degree of poverty has a
> \"high percentage\" of teachers with emergency, provisional, or
> temporary certification or licensing, and so is a high-need LEA under
> this program.
>
> *1. Application content.* Section
>
> 231 3 (d)(2)(C) of the ESEA requires applicants to describe in their

> *2. Definitions. High-need LEA.* Section 2102(3) of the ESEA defines
> \"high-need LEA\" to mean an LEA that-
>
> \(a\) (I) Serves not fewer than 10.000 children from families with
> incomes below the poverty line. or (2) for which not less than 20
> percent of the children served by the LEA are from families with

> \(b\) For which there is (I) A high percentage of teachers not
> teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels the teachers were
> trained to teach. or (2) a high percentage of teachers with emergency.
> provisional. or temporary certification or licensing.
>
> An applicant (or a grantee. should the grantee wish to add an LEA to a
> Transition to Teaching project after receiving a grant award) will
> need to demonstrate to the Department that each LEA that will
> participate in the project satisfies the definition of high-need
>
> LEA. The applicant (or grantee) will need to do so on the basis of the
> most recent data available in the year in which the Department
> approves the LEA\'s participation in the project. In this regard, we
> announce the following for each of these two components of the
> definition-
>
> • For component (a) of \"high-need LEA,\" the only consistent
> available data for all LEAs that reflect the statutory requirement for
> use of the total number or percentage of individuals age 5-17 from
> families below the poverty line (as the term is defined in section
> 9101 (33) of the ESEA) are data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
> Therefore, absent a showing of alternative LEA data that meets this
> statutory definition, the eligibility of an LEA as a \"high-need LEA\"
> under component (a) must be determined on the basis of the most recent
> satisfactory Census Bureau data; we will identify the year of these
> data
>
> to be used in any announcement of a program competition for awards in
> FY 2004 and future years. (We will provide

further information on this subject in the application package for this
program that will be available for each competition. This information
will include the Internet web site where one may obtain the LEA poverty
data that the Census Bureau reports, and the kinds of poverty data the
Department will accept for any LEA that is not included on this Internet
web site.)

> • For component (b)(I) of the definition of \"high-need LEA,\" we
> interpret this phrase \"not teaching in the academic subjects or grade
> levels that the teachers were trained to teach\" as equivalent to \"a
> high percentage of teachers teaching out of field.\" The Department
> does not have available to it suitable data with which to define what
> a high percentage is. Therefore, LEAs that rely on component (b)(I)
> will need to demonstrate to the Department\'s satisfaction that they
> have a high percentage of teachers teaching out of field. The
> Department will review this aspect of an LEA\'s proposed eligibility
> on a case-by-case basis. To avoid uncertainty, an LEA might choose
> instead to try to meet this eligibility test under component (b) (2).
>
> • For component (b)(2) of \"high-need LEA,\" the best data available
> to the Department on the percentage of teachers with emergency,
> provisional. or temporary certification or licensing come from the
> reports on the quality of teacher preparation that States annually
> provide to the Department in October of each year under section 207 of
> the HEA. In these reports, States provide the percentage of teachers
> in their LEAs teaching on waivers of State certification, both on a
> statewide basis and in high-poverty LEAs. For purposes of the
> program\'s FY 2002 competition, an LEA had a \"high percentage\" of
> teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or
> licensing if the percentage of teachers on waivers, as the LEA
> reported to the State for purposes of the State\'s October 2001 report
> to the Secretary, was at least the national average percentage of
> teachers on waivers in high-poverty LEAs-II percent.
>
> For reasons expressed in the \"Analysis of Comments and Changes\"
> section. for purposes of the FY 2004 and subsequent program
> competitions, an LEA has a \"high percentage\" of teachers with
> emergency. provisional. or temporary certification or licensing if the
> percentage of teachers on waivers. as the LEA reported to the State
> for purposes of the State\'s latest HEA report to the Secretary, was
> at least the national average percentage of teachers on waivers of
> State certification. for *all* LEAs-rather than just for high-poverty

LEAs. Therefore, for the FY 2004 competition, an LEA will be considered
to have a high percentage of teachers with emergency. provisional. or
temporary certification or licensing if the percentage of teachers on
waivers that it reported to the State for purposes of the State\'s
October 2003 HEA report was at least six percent.

> Note: For that October 2003 report, teachers on a waiver of State
> certification requirements *included* uncertified teachers who were

>
> Based on information in future HEA State reports, we will publish the

> *High-need subject.* For purposes of the Transition to Teaching
> program, a high-need subject means English, reading or language arts.

> economics. arts, history, geography. special education, and English as
> a second language (ESL). These subjects include the \"core academic

> *High-need SEA.* Section 2313(c) of the ESEA requires the Department
> to give priority in awarding grants under the program to applications
> from \"a partnership or consortium that includes a high-need State
> educational agency or local educational agency.\" However, the ESEA
> does not define the term high­need SEA, As was the case for the FY 2002
> competition. for purposes of this priority we define a high-need SEA
> as an SEA of a State that includes at least one high-need LEA.
>
> *Highly qualified paraprofessional.* For purposes of the Transition to
> Teaching program. a highly qualified paraprofessional means a
> paraprofessional who has not less than two years of-

> \(A\) Experience in a classroom, and (B) Postsecondary education or
> demonstrated competence in a field or academic subject for which there

> *3. Application review process.* Section 2313(b) of the ESEA provides
> that an eligible applicant for a Transition to Teaching grant must be-
>
> \(a\) An SEA;
>
> \(b\) A high-need LEA;
>
> \(c\) A for-profit or nonprofit organization that has a proven record

> \(d\) An institution of higher education (IHE). in a partnership with
> a high-need LEA or with an SEA;
>
> \(e\) A regional consortium of SEAs; or (f) A consortium of high-need
> LEAs. Given the wide variety of entities that

> \(a\) In more than one State;
>
> \(b\) Statewide or in more than one area of a State; or

>
> Finally. because of the variety of entities that may apply for grants
> under this program, it is possible that an LEA might be the recipient
> of services under both (l) its own application and (2) the
>
> application of the SEA of the State in which the LEA is located. an

> *4. Participant eligibility.* Section 2312(1) provides that an
> individual is eligible to participate in the Transition to Teaching
> program if the individual (a) has substantial, demonstrable career
> experience. including as a highly qualified paraprofessional, or (b)
> is a graduate of an IHE who-
>
> \(I\) Has graduated not more than three years before applying to jOin

>
> \(2\) In the case of an individual wishing to teach in a secondary
> school, has completed an academic major (or courses totaling an
> equivalent number of credit hours) in the academic subject that the
> individual will teach.
>
> The purpose of the Transition to Teaching program is to provide
> financial support to enable grantees to recruit individuals from their
> non­teaching positions and. through alternative routes to State
> certification. help high-need LEAs to hire and retain them as teachers
> of high-need subjects. Indeed. section 23 I 3 (d)(2)(E) requires each
> application to describe how the proposed project will increase the
> number of highly qualified teachers teaching high-need academic
> subjects (in high-need schools operated by high­need LEAs). Consistent
> with this provision and the program\'s overall purpose. individuals
> who already have State teacher certification or licenses are not
> eligible to participate in Transition to Teaching projects.
> Individuals who are teaching on a provisional,
>
> temporary, or emergency license prior to recruitment into the program.
> are eligible to participate provided they meet the eligibility
> requirements in section 2312 (I) of the ESEA and thereby qualify
> either as a mid-career professional or a recent college graduate
> (within three years of graduation).
>
> *5. Evaluation and accountability.*
>
> Section 2314 of the ESEA requires grantees to submit to the Department
> and to the Congress interim and final reports at the end of the third
> and fifth years of the grant period. respectively. Subparagraph (b) of
> section 2314 provides that these reports must contain the results of
> the grantee\'s interim and
>
> final evaluations. which must describe the extent to which high-need
> LEAs that received funds through the grant have met their goals
> relating to teacher recruitment and retention as described in the
> project application.
>
> However. while each funded project must promote the recruitment and
> retention of new teachers in specific identified LEAs. eligible grant
> recipients are not limited to LEAs. Therefore, it is possible that one
> or more funded projects will not provide funding to participating
> LEAs. In order that all project evaluations provide relevant
> information on the extent to which the project is meeting these LEA
> goals, the interim and final evaluations will need to describe the
> extent to which LEAs that either receive program funds or otherwise
> participate in funded projects have met their teacher recruitment and
> retention goals.
>
> *6. Limitation on indirect costs.* The success of the Transition to
> Teaching Program depends upon how well grantees and the high-need LEAs
> with which they work recruit. hire. train. and retain highly qualified
> individuals from other professions and backgrounds to become te(ichers
> in high-need subjects. If the program is to achieve its purpose. we
> need to ensure that all appropriated funds are used as effectively as
> possible. To do so. we believe it is necessary to place a reasonable
> limitation on the amount of program funds that grant recipients may
> use to reimburse themselves for the indirect costs of program
> activities. Therefore. we place a reasonable limit on the indirect
> cost rate that all grantees and other recipients of program funds may
> use in determining the amount of indirect costs they may charge to
> their Transition to Teaching awards. As was the case for grants
> awarded under the FY 2002 competition. this limit is the lesser of
> eight percent or the recipient\'s negotiated restricted indirect cost
> rate.
>
> For reasons we have offered in a limited number of other competitive

#### TRANSITION TO TEACHING 

#### PROGRAM BACKGROUND

####### Questions and Answers

# 

# GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION

**1. Must applicants notify the Department of their intent to apply?**

No, but the Secretary strongly encourages each potential applicant to
notify the Department with a short e-mail indicating the applicant's
intent to submit an application for funding. This will give the
Department a better understanding of the number of entities that intend
to apply for funding under this program, and allow for a more efficient
process for reviewing grant applications. The e-mail need not include
information regarding the content of the proposed application, only the
applicant's intent to submit it. The Secretary requests that this e-mail
notification be sent no later than December 15, 2008, to the following
e-mail address: <Transitiontoteaching@ed.gov>. Applicants that fail to
provide this e-mail notification may still apply for funding.

**2. Which Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number applies
to my application?**

The CFDA number for the Transition to Teaching program is 84.350. In
addition, each project is further identified by a letter code based on
its geographic scope.

> **84.350A** is for **local projects**, i.e., those that serve one
> eligible high-need local educational agency (LEA) or two or more
> eligible high-need LEAs in a single area of a state;
>
> **84.350B** is for **statewide projects**, i.e., those that serve
> eligible high-need LEAs statewide or eligible high-need LEAs in more
> than one area of a state; and
>
> **84.350C** is for **national/regional projects**, i.e., those that
> serve eligible high-need LEAs in more than one state.

While the same requirements and selection criteria apply to all
applications, it is important for applicants to indicate the pool in
which their application is to be reviewed.

**3. How will the Department select applications to be funded?**

Applications will be evaluated by a three-person review panel and scored
according to the program's selection criteria announced in the Notice
Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, as
published in the [Federal Register]{.underline} on November 13, 2009.
The Secretary awards grants on the basis of these scores unless other
relevant information about the project or grantee suggests a problem
with relying on these scores.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to review these criteria carefully
and to develop responses that discuss their proposed projects in terms
that fully and clearly address each criterion. An applicant can earn up
to 100 points for responses to the selection criteria. An applicant can
earn up to 15 additional points for responding to the competitive
preference priorities that also are described in this Notice.

**4. What are the competitive preference priorities for the FY 2009
competition, and how many additional points may an applicant earn by
addressing them?**

The competitive preference priorities and available points for the FY
2009 competition are:

> \(1\) Partnerships or consortia that include a high-need LEA or a
> high-need State educational agency (SEA) (defined as an SEA of a State
> with at least one high-need LEA) (5 points); and
>
> \(2\) LEA projects to streamline teacher hiring systems, timelines,
> and processes (up to 10 points).

An applicant is not required to propose activities that address the
competitive preference priorities. However, applicants that address
these priorities can earn additional points by doing so. Under the
second competitive preference priority for projects that focus on
streamlining LEA hiring practices, only an application submitted by one
or more high-need LEAs, i.e. proposals for which a high-need LEA would
be the actual grantee (and thus the fiscal agent), may receive priority
points. Any other entity may be a partner with one of these applicants.

**5. Where in the application does an applicant address the competitive
preference priorities?**

For Competitive Preference Priority 1, an applicant identifies the
high-need LEA(s) and/or high-need SEA with which it has an active
partnership -- or that it is a high-need LEA or high-need SEA and has an
active partnership with other entities -- in a separate section of the
project narrative entitled "Competitive Preference 1".

For Competitive Preference Priority 2, an applicant addresses the
priority in a separate section of the project narrative entitled
"Competitive Preference Priority 2". In addition, in responding to one
or more of the selection criteria, the applicant may wish to include
information related to the competitive priority.

These sections are included in the overall application page limit.

**ELIGIBILITY FOR GRANTS**

**6. Who is eligible to receive a Transition to Teaching grant?**

The Department may award a Transition to Teaching grant to any of the
following:

-   An SEA;

-   A high-need LEA (which includes a charter school that the State
    considers to be an LEA);

-   A for-profit or nonprofit organization that has a proven record of
    effectively recruiting and retaining highly qualified teachers, in a
    partnership with a high-need LEA or SEA;

-   An institution of higher education, in a partnership with a
    high-need LEA or SEA;

-   A regional consortium of SEAs; or

-   A consortium of high-need LEAs.

**7. What is a State Education Agency (SEA)?**

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001, defines an SEA as "the agency primarily
responsible for the State supervision of public elementary schools and
secondary schools."

**8. What is a "high-need local educational agency" (LEA)?**

For the Transition to Teaching program, a high-need LEA is an LEA that
meets two specific requirements---one addressing poverty in the area the
agency serves and the other addressing the quality of the LEA's current
teacher workforce. Specifically, a "high-need" LEA is one---

> (1)(a) that serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families with
> incomes below the poverty line; **or**
>
> (1)(b) for which not less than 20 percent of the children served by
> the LEA are from families with incomes below the poverty line;
>
> **[AND]{.underline}**

(2)(a) for which there is a high percentage of teachers not teaching in
the subjects or grade levels that the teachers were trained to teach;
**or**

> (2)(b) for which there is a high percentage of teachers with
> emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing.

Every Transition to Teaching grantee must work to ensure that all
project participants are hired to work in high-need schools operated by
high-need LEAs.

**9. What is a "high-need school"?**

For the Transition to Teaching program, a high-need school is a school
that meets [any one]{.underline} of the following five tests:

1.  Is located in an area in which the percentage of students from
    families with income below the poverty line is 30 percent or more;

2.  Is located in an area with a high percentage of out-of-field
    teachers, as defined in section 2102 of ESEA;

3.  Is within the top quartile of elementary schools and secondary
    schools statewide, as ranked by the number of unfilled, available
    teacher positions at the schools;

4.  Is located in an area in which there is a high teacher turnover
    rate; or

5.  Is located in an area in which there is a high percentage of
    teachers who are not certified or licensed.

National data on families with incomes below the poverty line are
available at the district level, but not at the school level. The
Department has determined that the best available proxy for **Test 1**
is schoolwide program eligibility under Title I, Part A ("Title I") of
the ESEA. Title I schoolwide program eligibility is typically
established by having at least 40 percent of students eligible to
receive free and reduced-price lunch subsidies. **Test 3** requires data
from the responsible State agency. Each participating LEA may establish
reasonable definitions for **Tests 2**, **4**, and **5** that ensure
that program participants are placed in schools that have high need
relative to other schools the LEA serves. For purposes of meeting their
recordkeeping responsibilities, the LEA and program grantee should
develop written criteria that clarify the rationale for the definition
used, as well as retain supporting documentation to confirm that the
schools in which participants teach meet these definitions.

**10. What data are needed to verify that an LEA meets the "high-need"
requirement?**

The definition of a high-need LEA and the data an applicant needs to
have to confirm that an LEA participating in its project meets this
definition are addressed in the notice announcing the Transition to
Teaching competition published in the [Federal Register]{.underline} on
November 13, 2008. They also are addressed in the Instructions for
Project Narrative provided in the application package.

Each application must confirm that all LEAs identified as participants
in the project are high-need LEAs. An LEA must meet the components for
both poverty (1a or 1b in the answer to Question 8)
**[and]{.underline}** quality of the current teacher workforce (2a or 2b
in the answer to Question 8) of the definition of "high-need LEA."

To determine if an LEA meets the poverty component, an applicant must
use the most recent Census Bureau data, which currently is for 2005.
However, we understand that the U.S. Census Bureau may release data for
2007 before the closing date for applications under this competition. If
the U.S. Census Bureau publishes 2007 poverty data before the
application due date, the Department will consider U.S. Census Bureau
poverty data for either 2005 or 2007 to be the most recent. If the U.S.
Census Bureau does not release the 2007 poverty data, applicants must
use the U.S. Census Bureau's poverty data for 2005. The link to Census
Bureau data is:

<http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/district.html>

The Department also has these data available on its website at:

<http://www.ed.gov/programs/lsl/eligibility.html>.

The Department will consider other poverty data, on a case-by-case
basis; ONLY IF an LEA (such as a charter school that a State considers
to be an LEA) is not included in the Census Bureau database.

For the component on the quality of the LEA's current teacher workforce,
applicants should obtain information from appropriate officials in each
LEA regarding the LEA's percentage of teachers teaching out of field or
teaching on waivers of State certification or licensure. Please note
that the applicant must provide the percentage of *teachers* teaching
out of field, *not* the number of *classes* not taught by highly
qualified teachers (as districts report to the public and to the
Department in their Title I report cards). The Department will determine
whether or not a district has a high percentage of teachers teaching out
of field on a case-by-case basis. For teachers on waivers of State
certification or licensure, the Department considers 1.5% or higher to
be a "high percentage of teachers with emergency, provisional, or
temporary certification or licensing". The district data the State used
to compile its October 2007 HEA section 207 report therefore must
reflect an LEA percentage of teachers on waivers of at least 1.5
percent.

11\. Does the definition of "high-need LEA" include a regional service
agency, intermediate educational unit, or similar agency that is
established by the State to provide administrative and technical
assistance and support to LEAs?

Only in rare circumstances. These agencies may be considered LEAs under
the ESEA since this law defines LEA to include any public authority
"legally constituted within a State for either administrative control or
direction of, or to perform a service function for, public \[schools\]
in a city, county, township, school district, or other political
subdivision of a State, or for a combination of school districts or
counties that is recognized in a State as an administrative agency for
its public schools".

However, these agencies will generally not be "high-need" LEAs since
they rarely will employ teachers and be able to meet the statutory
requirement of having "a high percentage of teachers teaching
out-of-field or with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification
or licensing".

**12. May an existing grantee apply in this competition for another
Transition to Teaching program grant?**

Section 2313(e) of the ESEA provides: "The Secretary may make grants
under this section for periods of 5 years. At the end of the 5-year
period for such a grant, the grant recipient may apply for an additional
grant under this section." The Department has not issued regulations
that define or otherwise limit the scope of this provision. However, at
minimum, this statute prohibits a Transition to Teaching program grantee
(including an eligible partnership or consortium of high-need LEAs or
SEAs) from applying for a second grant until the first project has
ended. Thus, the statute precludes a high-need LEA, high-need SEA, or
existing partnership or consortium that already has received a
Transition grant from applying for a similar Transition grant until its
current project is over.

However where a high-need LEA, SEA, IHE, or nonprofit organization,
either individually or as part of a partnership, now has a Transition
grant, section 2313(e) does not preclude that entity from (1) joining
with new entities to form a new partnership or consortium,
[and]{.underline} then (2) applying for a new program grant that would
implement significantly different project activities. For example, a
large urban high-need LEA, either as a sole grantee or that is
partnering with an IHE or non-profit organization in a currently funded
project, could join with other entities in a new partnership and apply
for funds to recruit Transition to Teaching participants to become
teachers in new subjects or different high-need areas of the district*.*

####### PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY

**13. Who is eligible to participate in projects funded by the
Transition to Teaching program?**

Eligible participants include an individual who:

-   Has substantial, demonstrable career experience, including a highly
    qualified paraprofessional, or

-   is a graduate of an institution of higher education who---

\(i\) has graduated not more than three years before applying to
participate in a Transition to Teaching project; and

> \(ii\) in the case of an individual wishing to teach in a secondary
> school, has completed an academic major (or courses totaling an
> equivalent number of credit hours) in the core academic subject that
> the individual will teach.

Eligible participants may include individuals who are teaching on a
provisional, temporary, or emergency license *prior* to recruitment into
a Transition to Teaching project, and who otherwise qualify either as a
mid-career professional or a recent college graduate.

**14. Are individuals who are fully certified or licensed as teachers
eligible to participate in the Transition to Teaching Program?**

No. The program is designed to facilitate the certification or licensing
of teachers, thereby *increasing* the number of highly qualified
teachers who can teach in high-need schools in high-need LEAs.

**15. Which project participants may be considered to be "highly
qualified paraprofessionals"?**

For purposes of the Transition to Teaching program, a highly qualified
paraprofessional as defined in Title II of the ESEA means a
paraprofessional who has not less than two (2) years of ---

(a) Experience in a classroom; **and**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(a) Postsecondary education or demonstrated competence in a field or
    academic subject for which there is a significant shortage of
    qualified teachers.

**16. Are there any requirements that program participants must agree to
meet?**

Yes. The Transition to Teaching program statute requires all program
participants who receive training under the program to teach for at
least three (3) years in a high-need school operated by a high-need LEA.
Because we assume that all projects will provide project participants
some training before and/or after they begin to teach, this three-year
service obligation effectively applies to ALL project participants.

**17. May projects place teachers in high-need schools that are not
operated by high-need LEA?**

No, both the school and the LEA must meet their respective definitions
of "high-need".

**18. Do participants in the Transition to Teaching Program who (1)
participate in State alternative routes to certification and (2) teach
core academic subjects qualify as "highly qualified teachers" under NCLB
who may be placed in teaching positions in high-need schools operated by
high-need LEAs?**

Yes. Department's Title I regulations (34 C.F.R. 200.56(a)(2) published
in the [Federal Register]{.underline} on December 2, 2002) provide that
for purposes of the NCLB a teacher who participates in an alternative
route to certification program that meets certain basic requirements may
teach for up to three years as fully certified.

These requirements are that the teacher:

-   receives, before and while teaching, high-quality professional
    development that is sustained, intensive, and classroom-focused in
    order to have a positive and lasting impact on classroom
    instruction;

-   participates in a program of intensive supervision that consists of
    structured guidance and regular ongoing support for teachers or in a
    teacher mentoring program;

-   assumes functions as a teacher for a period not to exceed three
    years; and

-   demonstrates satisfactory progress toward full certification as
    prescribed by the State.

In addition, the State must ensure, through its certification and
licensure process, that these provisions are met. Of course, to be
highly qualified, the teacher also must have at least a bachelor's
degree and have demonstrated subject matter competency in each subject
the teacher teaches in a way that the law requires.

If the teacher does not complete the alternative certification program
within the three-year period that the Title I regulation permits, the
teacher is no longer considered to be fully certified, and thus no
longer highly qualified.

**19. Are participants required to teach certain high-need subjects? If
so, what are they?**

Yes. For purposes of the Transition to Teaching program, a high-need
subject at all grade levels (elementary, middle and high school) means
English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, foreign
languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, geography,
special education, and English as a second language (ESL). With the
exception of special education and ESL, these subjects are the "core
academic subjects" specified in section 9101(11) of the ESEA.

**PROGRAM ACTIVITIES**

###### 

###### **20. How may a grantee use Transition to Teaching Program funds?** 

###### Grantees must carry out a project that includes two or more of the program's authorized activities. These authorized activities include: recruitment and retention activities, including developing long term strategies to recruit and retain teachers; payment of recruitment costs or financial incentives; assistance to ensure participants are placed in high-need schools and teaching subjects which they are qualified to teach; pre- and post-induction or support activities; and collaborating with institutions of higher education to facilitate teacher recruitment, credentialing, and retention. 

An applicant has tremendous flexibility to implement these authorized
activities to design a project that meets the needs of the particular
high-need LEAs to be served. Applicants should note, however, that
program funds must be used to supplement, and not supplant, State and
local funds spent to support teacher recruitment and retention programs,
including programs to recruit teachers through alternative routes to
certification.

###### 

###### **21. Is there a limit on the number of years during which an applicant can recruit participants?**

No. However, the program statute clearly intends that funded projects
work to ensure the certification or licensing and retention of
participants that are recruited into the projects. Therefore, consistent
with the program statute, applicants proposing to recruit in year 5 must
ensure that its recruitment, preparation, and support activities are
designed to provide adequate time for participants to receive the
training and support needed that lead to certification and retention.

# 

# FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND REPAYMENT

**22. Are projects allowed to provide financial incentives to program
participants?**

Yes. Section 2313(g)(2)(A) of the ESEA permits a grant recipient to use
program funds to provide scholarships, stipends, bonuses, and other
financial incentives to all eligible participants in an amount not to
exceed \$5,000 per participant. These financial incentives must be
linked to participation in activities that have proven effective in
retaining teachers in high-need schools operated by high-need LEAs.

**23. What is the responsibility of a participant who receives a
financial incentive?**

Section 2313(i) of the Transition to Teaching statute states that a
program participant who receives training through the program shall
serve a high-need school operated by a high-need local educational
agency for at least three years. In addition, consistent with section
2313(j), as a condition of receiving the stipend or other financial
incentive, the Department strongly encourages grantees to have
participants sign a repayment agreement in which they agree to repay all
or a portion of such stipend or other financial incentive if they fail
to complete their three-year service obligation. See Question 24, below.

**24. How do Transition to Teaching grantees help to ensure that project
participants meet their three-year service obligation?**

[]{.mark}

Rather than establish program regulations under section 2313(j) of the
ESEA that would direct all program grantees to ensure that project
participants meet their service obligation or repay the stipends or
other financial incentives they had received from Transition to teaching
funds, the Department to date has encouraged grantees to voluntarily
execute their own repayment agreements. Thus, program grantees have
accepted the Department's suggestion that they have program participants
execute written grantee-prepared repayment agreements before providing
them program-funded stipends or other financial incentives. So that the
Department may avoid the need for issuing potentially burdensome
regulations, the Department strongly urges applicants to continue this
practice.

These voluntary grantee agreements should, at a minimum, provide that in
exchange for the stipend or other financial incentive, the program
participant agrees to teach for at least three years in a high-need
school in a high-need LEA. Beyond this, in drafting agreements they
decide to use, grantees are free to prescribe that the participant must
work in a high-need school of a high-need LEA that is a part of the
project.

## **BUDGET**

**25. Must applicants describe their proposed multiyear project
activities and provide a multiyear budget?**

Yes. Section 75.112(b) of the Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) requires that applications include "a
narrative that describes how and when, in each budget period of the
project, the applicant plans to meet each objective of the project." For
funded projects, the Department will use this information both for
purposes of monitoring and providing assistance, and for determining, if
on the basis of its annual performance report and other information, a
grantee has made substantial progress toward meeting the approved
application goals and objectives and thereby, under section 75.253 of
EDGAR, may receive a continuation award.

Applicants for new awards also must provide a proposed budget using form
ED 524 and a detailed budget justification or narrative for all budget
years of the proposed project, not just the first year. Before awarding
a grant for the initial budget year, the Department will determine the
size of award a grant recipient will receive for each year of the
project (assuming availability of appropriations and that the grantee's
receipt of a continuation award for future years is warranted). See
sections 75.117, 75.232, and 75.253 of EDGAR.

In their proposed budget, applicants should include costs for the
project director and evaluator to attend the annual project directors
and evaluators meeting in Washington, DC. In addition, in their annual
performance reports, grantees will need to report on the number of
project participants who have fulfilled their three-year service
obligation. Therefore, applicants are encouraged to include costs for
tracking participants---whether or not they receive financial
incentives---to determine whether they have met the three-year
obligation. For those projects that would provide financial incentives
to participants, we also encourage applicants to include any costs they
anticipate incurring for determining whether participants have fulfilled
their service obligation, and for recovering stipends where participants
have not fulfilled the service obligation.

**26. What information should applicants consider in planning their use
of Transition to Teaching program funds?**

Program funds may be used for any of the authorized activities described
in section 2313(g) of the statute that would be needed to conduct an
effective project. However, as applicants prepare their proposed
budgets, they should be aware that all costs must conform to
requirements in EDGAR and the applicable cost principles in U.S. Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars: OMB Circular A-21 for
institutions of higher education, A-87 for State and local agencies, and
A-122 for non-profit organizations. Among other things, these cost
principles contain basic rules that all costs charged to federal grants
must be "necessary and reasonable" for the purposes of carrying out
authorized grant activities. These OMB Circulars are available on line
at:

<http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/index.html>.

In addition, section 2313(h)(2) of the No Child Left Behind Act contains
a requirement that Transition to Teaching program funds "shall be used
to [supplement, and not supplant]{.underline}, State and local public
funds expended for teacher recruitment and retention programs, including
programs to recruit the teachers through alternative routes to
certification." Thus, in planning their projects, applicants should be
aware that Transition to Teaching program funds may not be used to
replace State and local public funds that would otherwise be spent on
these activities.

**27. Must grantees** **provide participants with a training stipend or
other financial incentive?**

No. A grantee is not required to provide financial incentives to its
participants. However, if grantees have designed their projects to
include provision to participants of a scholarship, stipend allowance,
bonus, tuition and fees, or other financial incentive, this should be
identified in the project application and its proposed budget. By law,
the maximum amount of any participant's financial incentive is \$5000
per participant over the life of the project.

**28. What forms of stipends or other financial incentives provided to
project participants are to be included in the budget under "Training
Stipends" and what forms of them are to be included under the budget
category "Other"?**

Scholarships, stipend allowances, bonuses, tuition and fees, or other
financial incentives that a grantee---

(1) pays directly to a participant or to an institution of higher
    education or another entity in the name of the participant, and

(2) provides for costs associated with the training necessary to become
    eligible for State certification or for professional development
    once the participant begins to teach,

should be included in the project budget under Training Stipends line
item (524 Budget Form). These costs *may not* be included in calculating
the project's indirect costs.

Costs of other financial incentives, such as salary bonuses, relocation
expenses, test fees for State assessments, other items not provided for
training, should be included in the "Other" line item on the 524 Budget
form. These costs *may* be considered in calculating the project's
allowable indirect costs.

**29. In what budget category should purchases of any computers, copy
machines, and other equipment be included?**

Computers, copy machines and other electronic equipment that cost less
than \$5,000 per item are not considered capital equipment and should be
included in the "Supplies" budget category. Applicants may include these
costs in the direct cost base for purposes of calculating the indirect
costs using the applicant's restricted indirect cost rate. See Question
30, below.

Capital equipment, or equipment that costs over \$5,000 per item, must
be included in the Equipment budget category, and excluded from the
direct cost base for purposes of calculating the indirect costs.

**30. Is there any restriction on the amount of indirect cost that a
grantee may charge to a Transition to Teaching program grant?**

Yes. By rule, the Department requires that the maximum restricted
indirect cost rate that may be applied to project costs under this
program is the recipient's negotiated restricted indirect cost rate or
eight percent (8%), whichever is less. See sections 75.563 and 75.564 of
EDGAR (which incorporate by reference sections 76.564 -- 76.569 of
EDGAR) for information on use of the restricted indirect cost rate.

**31. How much indirect cost can a grantee take on a contract?**

A grantee may apply the lesser of its negotiated restricted indirect
cost rate or 8% to the first \$25,000 of any contract. All amounts in
excess of \$25,000 per contract should be excluded from the direct cost
base before calculating the project's indirect costs.

**32. How do applicants obtain an indirect cost rate?**

If your organization does not have a restricted indirect cost rate, you
may request to negotiate one with the Department. Contact the
Department's Indirect Cost Group to begin the process. Its website,
<http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocfo/fipao/icgindex.html>,
contains contact information as well as specific information on indirect
cost rates.

Since it may take several months before an indirect cost rate is
negotiated, an applicant should use a restricted indirect cost rate of
no more than eight percent (8%) in developing its proposed budget. Be
sure to note in the budget narrative that you are using a

temporary restricted indirect cost rate while you are negotiating a rate
with the Department or the cognizant Federal agency to which the
Department refers the applicant.

**33. Is there a maximum that a grantee may charge for administrative
costs?**

The statute imposes a five percent (5%) limitation on the amount of
administrative costs that a grantee (or any other entity) may charge to
program funds. The Department does not have a standard definition of
"administrative costs." Therefore, applicants should use their own
agency's fiscal rules and procedures to determine what proposed costs
are attributable to this category of costs and to adhere to the cost
limitation.

# REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

**34. What are the program\'s reporting requirements?**

Section 2314 of the ESEA requires grantees to submit to the Secretary
and to the Congress an interim and a final report at the end of the
third and fifth years of the grant period, respectively. These reports
must be aligned with the grantee's evaluation plan and contain the
results of the grantee\'s interim and final evaluations, which describe
the extent to which LEAs that either receive program funds or otherwise
participate in funded projects have met their teacher recruitment and
retention goals under the project.

The statute also requires that should the Department determine that a
recipient of a grant has not made substantial progress in meeting
project goals and objectives by the end of the third year of the grant
period, it must revoke any payment made for the fourth year of the grant
period and not make a payment for the fifth.

In addition, applicants are reminded that EDGAR requires each grantee to
submit an annual performance report that the Department will review to
determine if the grantee is making substantial progress toward
achievement of the objectives in its approved application, and thereby
should receive a continuation award (see Question 25).

In addition to their progress in meeting individual project objectives,
all grantees must report in the annual performance report on their
progress in meeting the Transition to Teaching program's overall
performance indicators \[see section on Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA)\]. Data must be reported for the following three
indicators:

-   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) participants who become
    teachers of record in high-need schools in high-need LEAs.

-   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) participants receiving
    certification/licensure within three years.

-   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) teachers of record who
    teach in high-need schools in high-need LEAs for three years.

The Department will provide further guidance to successful applicants to
assist them in meeting these reporting requirements.

It is expected that applicants will use the selection criteria to frame
their project narratives. However, it is important that, when addressing
the selection criteria, applicants describe how they will implement the
statutorily required program components and authorized activities listed
below.

####### Program Requirements and Authorized Activities

Applicants must at a minimum demonstrate how they will:

-   Use project funds to develop a teacher corps or other program for
    recruiting and retaining new teachers from among, and only among,
    eligible project participants (Sections 2313(d)(2)(A)-(C),
    2313(g)(1));

-   Work in collaboration, as needed, with other institutions,
    organizations, or agencies, to (1) recruit, (2) train, (3)
    place, (4) support, and (5) provide teacher induction programs to
    program participants (Section 2313(d)(2)(F));

-   Help newly recruited individuals become certified or licensed
    teachers under provisions of State law (Section 2313(d)(2)(D)); and

-   Increase the number of highly qualified teachers teaching high-need
    academic subjects in high-need urban or rural LEAs (Section
    2313(d)(2)(E)).

> To address the four components listed above the statute requires each
> applicant to conduct at least two of the following activities:

-   Providing scholarships, stipends, bonuses, and other financial
    incentives to eligible participants that are linked to participation
    in activities that have proven effective in retaining teachers in
    high-need schools operated by high-need local educational agencies.
    These incentives may not exceed \$5000 per participant and may be
    provided only in exchange for a commitment to teach in high need
    schools for at least three years or repay all or a portion of these
    funds as the Secretary shall require.

-   Carrying out pre-and post-placement induction or support activities
    that have proven effective in recruiting and retaining teachers,
    such as:

    -   teacher mentoring;

    -   providing internships;

    -   providing high-quality preservice coursework; and

    -   providing high-quality, sustained, in-service professional
        development.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Carrying out placement and ongoing activities to ensure that
    teachers are placed in fields in which they are highly qualified to
    teach and placed in high-need schools.

-   Paying costs associated with LEAs' recruitment, or providing
    financial incentives to prospective teachers.

-   Collaborating with institutions of higher education in developing
    and implementing programs to facilitate teacher recruitment
    including teacher credentialing and teacher retention programs.

-   Developing long-term recruitment and retention strategies, such as:

    -   a statewide or region wide clearinghouse for the recruitment and
        placement of teachers;

    -   administrative structures to develop and implement
        State-approved programs to provide alternative routes to
        certification;

    -   reciprocity agreements between two or more States for the
        certification of licensing of teachers; or

    -   other long-term teacher recruitment and retention strategies.

How applicants address the above listed program requirements and
authorized activities is left to their own judgment, ingenuity, and
imagination. **However, applicants must address how they will meet these
requirements within their responses to the selection criteria.**

**[Competitive Priorities]{.underline}**

Please note an applicant should address the priorities in a separate
section of the project narrative. Clear headings should be provided to
indicate an applicant\'s response to the priority(ies). These sections
are included in the overall application page limit.

For the purpose of this application, the Department has established two
competitive priorities under the Transition to Teaching program for the
FY 2009 competition for grants. Competitive preference priority 1 is
from the statute for this program and competitive preference priority 2
is from the notice of final priorities and requirements for this program
published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2004 (69 FR 24002).

Applicants that address these priorities can earn additional points by
doing so. The priorities and available points for the FY 2009
competition are --

> \(1\) Partnerships or consortia that include a high-need LEA or a
> high-need SEA. **(5 points)**
>
> \(2\) District projects to streamline teacher hiring systems,
> timelines, and processes. **(up to 10 points)**

An applicant that chooses to respond to competitive preference priority
1 need only to identify the high-need LEA(s) or high-need SEA that will
participate in the project.

Please note only an eligible entity may apply to the competitive
preference priority 2. An eligible applicant that chooses to respond to
this priority should address the priority\'s criteria in a separate
section of the project narrative entitled "Competitive Preference
Priority 2". In addition, the applicant may wish to include information
related to the priority in responding to the selection criteria.

**[Selection Criteria]{.underline}**

(**Applicants must address each selection criterion in a clearly
identified section in their project narrative**. An applicant's response
to the selection criteria **will** be counted against the page limit
requirement for the project narrative.)

The selection criteria outlined below will be used to evaluate the
quality of applications submitted for funding. The full description of
the selection criteria is contained in the Notice Inviting Applications.
Within each criterion, there are specific factors that will be used in
evaluating that criterion. Notes are provided for each criterion and
offer additional information that may be helpful in responding to the
selection criteria. In addition, the applicant should note the earlier
discussion regarding addressing the required program components and
authorized activities when responding to the selection criteria.

The maximum score that an applicant can earn for the selection criteria
is 100 points. The maximum score for each criterion is indicated in
parentheses following that criterion.

[Performance Reports & Evaluations]{.underline}

All TTT grantees must submit annual and final project performance
reports using the ED 524B form. The ED 524B form may be accessed at
<http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html>.

The ED 524B form contains four sections. The *Executive Summary* will
provide an overview of your grant. *Section A* is for reporting program
(GPRA) measures, project objectives, and performance measures, *Section
B* is for reporting budget information, *Section C* is for reporting
additional information and/or changes to the grant.

These performance reports will assist TTT staff in determining whether
or not the TTT project is making substantial progress toward meeting
GPRA measures and the approved project objectives. Project Directors
will be responsible for submitting annual and final project performance
reports. Project Directors are reminded to report on the following each
year on the ED 524B form:

-   Program (GPRA) Performance Measures

    -   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) participants who
        become teachers of record in high-need schools in high-need LEAs

    -   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) participants
        receiving certification/licensure within three years

    -   The number of Transition to Teaching (TTT) teachers of record
        who teach in high-need schools in high-need LEAs for three years

-   Specific project objectives and measures

> It is expected that the overall project goals, specific project
> objectives, and the measures to determine whether or not the
> objectives have been met will be clearly outlined in the application
> and directly linked to the project design.

In addition, all Transition to Teaching (TTT) grantees are required to
conduct and submit to the Department and to Congress and interim and
final project evaluation. These evaluations must describe the extent to
which the project that received funds through the grant have met its
goals relating to teacher recruitment and retention as described in the
project application. Additional requirements pertaining to these reports
are in the application notice.

#### Instructions for Budget Narrative 

#### 

**[Attach both the detailed line item budget (SF 524) AND the
accompanying budget narrative justification]{.underline}** in the Budget
Narrative Attachment Form

Applicants must describe their proposed multiyear project activities and
present a multiyear budget. Section 75.112(b) of EDGAR requires
applicants to present "a narrative that describes how and when, in each
budget period of the project, the applicant plans to meet each objective
of the project." In addition, projects must complete ED form 524 for all
budget years of the proposed project. Applicants should include costs
for the project director and evaluator to attend the annual project
directors' meeting in Washington, DC. Further instructions are available
with the budget form found in this package and in the Program Q&As.

The budget should include only costs that are allowable, reasonable and
necessary for carrying out the objectives of the TTT project.

For each line item, provide detailed budget cost (in dollars) and a
detailed budget justification or narrative to support your request for
all budget years of the proposed project. Please check the accuracy of
the combined totals and compare to the line item budget figures to those
used in Section A and B of the ED Form 524.

#### Instructions for Other Attachments

Applicants will attach any appendices they may have to the Grants.gov
Other Attachments Form. Please provide a special Table of Contents for
the appendices. This is where you will include the data justifying
high-need LEA eligibility and the high-need subject and LEA commitments.
Other information may include curriculum vitas of key personnel,
examples of evaluation materials, etc. The Grants.gov system will allow
applicants to attach as many as ten separate appendices in this section;
however, applicants are encouraged to limit the number of appendix
entries to a reasonable number for a reviewer to read.

#### High-Need LEA Eligibility, High-Need Subject, and LEA Commitment

**[Attach data justifying high-need LEA eligibility, high-need
subject(s), and LEA commitments for each LEA included in the
application]{.underline}** to the Other Narrative Attachment Form.

# [High-Need LEA Eligibility]{.underline}

Each application must contain data confirming that the applicant (if the
applicant is an LEA) and/or each LEA with which the applicant will work,
is a high-need LEA. The definition is fully described in the Notice
Inviting Applications for New Awards published in the Federal Register
on November 13, 2008.

Each LEA must meet **both** the poverty and teacher quality components
of the \"high-need\" definition. Applicants are strongly encouraged to
submit the required data using the table provided below. Note that for
component B1, applicants must identify the data source for each LEA
listed.

### **Instructions for Providing Required Data for High-need LEA Eligibility**

### 

### **Component A**

**A1:** Provide data that demonstrate that the LEA(s) serves not fewer
than 10,000 children from families with incomes below the poverty line;
**OR**

**A2:** Provide data that demonstrate that the LEA(s) is one for which
not less than 20 percent of the children served by the LEA are from
families with incomes below the poverty line.

**[\*Acceptable Data Source for A1 or A2:]{.underline}**

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau are the only consistent available data
for all LEAs that reflect the statutory requirement for the total number
or percentage of individual age 15-17 from families below the poverty
level. To determine if an LEA meets the poverty component, an applicant
must use the most recent Census Bureau data, which currently is the 2005
data. However, we understand that the U.S. Census Bureau may release
data for 2007 before the closing date for applications under this
competition. If the U.S. Census Bureau publishes 2007 poverty data
before the application due date, the Department will consider U.S.
Census Bureau poverty data for either 2005 or 2007 to be the most
recent. If the U.S. Census Bureau does not release the 2007 poverty
data, applicants must use the U.S. Census Bureau\'s poverty data for
2005.

The Department will consider other poverty data, on a case-by-case
basis, ONLY IF an LEA (such as a charter school that a State considers
to be an LEA) is not included in the Census Bureau database.

**[U.S. Census Bureau Data]{.underline}:**

The following links provide the Census data needed to determine LEA(s)
eligibility under components A1 and A2.

**A1:** Census data that demonstrate that the LEA(s) serves not fewer
than 10,000 \'relevant\' children age 5 to 17 from families with incomes
below the poverty line is available on the U.S. Census Bureau\'s website
at <http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/district.html>.

**A2:** Census data that provide the percent of children served by the
LEA from families with incomes below the poverty line already calculated
is available on the Department's website at
<http://www.ed.gov/programs/lsl/eligibility.html>.

### **Component B**

Provide data that demonstrate that each participating LEA has a "high
percentage" of teachers\--

**B1:** Teaching out of field; **OR**

**B2:** With emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or
licensing.

**[Data Source for B1 or B2:]{.underline}**

B1: Applicants should obtain information from appropriate officials in
each LEA regarding the LEA's percentage of teachers teaching out of
field. Please note that the applicant must provide the percentage of
*teachers* teaching out of field, *not* the number of *classes* not
taught by highly qualified teachers. The Department will determine
whether or not a district has a high percentage of teachers teaching out
of field on a case-by-case basis.

**B2:** For the FY 2009 competition, an LEA will be considered to have a
"high percentage" of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary
certification or licensing if the percentage of teachers on waivers of

**[High-Need Subject and LEA Commitment]{.underline}**

Each applicant must confirm that it will meet the program requirements
to recruit project participants to meet the need for teachers of
high-need subjects in the LEAs participating in the project. Further,
each applicant must confirm that the participating LEAs have indicated
they will hire project participants if they have vacancies and are
satisfied that the participants are qualified.

To confirm that it will meet these requirements, an applicant may use
the checklist below and complete and submit it with the application or
may provide other documentation such as a letter of commitment from an
authorizing official for each LEA.

\_\_\_\_ (check) The applicant confirms that all LEAs listed in the
application with which the applicant will partner have identified the
**high-need subjects** they need individuals recruited through this
program to teach, and that the applicant will recruit eligible
participants to teach only these high-need subjects.

\_\_\_\_ (check) The applicant confirms that each LEA listed in the
application with which the applicant will partner will hire individuals
recruited through this program to meet the LEA's teaching needs,
assuming that the LEA still has positions to fill and is satisfied that
the individuals are qualified to teach the high-need subjects for which
the LEA needs teachers.

OMB Control No. 1894-0005 (Exp. 01/31/2011)

**NOTICE TO ALL APPLICANTS**

The purpose of this enclosure is to inform you about a new provision in
the Department of Education\'s General Education Provisions Act (GEPA)
that applies to applicants for new grant awards under Department
programs. This provision is Section 427 of GEPA, enacted as part of the
Improving America\'s Schools Act of 1994 (Public Law (P.L.) 103-382).

**To Whom Does This Provision Apply?**

Section 427 of GEPA affects applicants for new grant awards under this
program. **ALL APPLICANTS FOR NEW AWARDS MUST INCLUDE INFORMATION IN
THEIR APPLICATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS NEW PROVISION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE
FUNDING UNDER THIS PROGRAM.**

(If this program is a State-formula grant program, a State needs to
provide this description only for projects or activities that it carries
out with funds reserved for State-level uses. In addition, local school
districts or other eligible applicants that apply to the State for
funding need to provide this description in their applications to the
State for funding. The State would be responsible for ensuring that the
school district or other local entity has submitted a sufficient section
427 statement as described below.)

**What Does This Provision Require?**

Section 427 requires each applicant for funds (other than an individual
person) to include in its application a description of the steps the
applicant proposes to take to ensure equitable access to, and
participation in, its Federally-assisted program for students, teachers,
and other program beneficiaries with special needs. This provision
allows applicants discretion in developing the required description. The
statute highlights six types of barriers that can impede equitable
access or participation: gender, race, national origin, color,
disability, or age. Based on local circumstances, you should determine
whether these or other barriers may prevent your students, teachers,
etc. from such access or participation in, the Federally-funded project
or activity. The description in your application of steps to be taken to
overcome these barriers need not be lengthy; you may provide a clear and
succinct description of how you plan to address those barriers that are
applicable to your circumstances. In addition, the information may be
provided in a single narrative, or, if appropriate, may be discussed in
connection with related topics in the application.

Section 427 is not intended to duplicate the requirements of civil
rights statutes, but rather to ensure that, in designing their projects,
applicants for Federal funds address equity concerns that may affect the
ability of certain potential beneficiaries to fully participate in the
project and to achieve to high standards. Consistent with program
requirements and its approved application, an applicant may use the
Federal funds awarded to it to eliminate barriers it identifies.

**What are Examples of How an Applicant Might Satisfy the Requirement of
This Provision?**

The following examples may help illustrate how an applicant may comply
with Section 427.

> \(1\) An applicant that proposes to carry out an adult literacy
> project serving, among others, adults with limited English
> proficiency, might describe in its application how it intends to
> distribute a brochure about the proposed project to such potential
> participants in their native language.
>
> \(2\) An applicant that proposes to develop instructional materials
> for classroom use might describe how it will make the materials
> available on audio tape or in braille for students who are blind.
>
> \(3\) An applicant that proposes to carry out a model science program
> for secondary students and is concerned that girls may be less likely
> than boys to enroll in the course, might indicate how it intends to
> conduct \"outreach\" efforts to girls, to encourage their enrollment.

We recognize that many applicants may already be implementing effective
steps to ensure equity of access and participation in their grant
programs, and we appreciate your cooperation in responding to the
requirements of this provision.

**Estimated Burden Statement for GEPA Requirements**

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are
required to respond to a collection of information unless such
collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control
number for this information collection is **1894-0005.** The time
required to complete this information collection is estimated to average
1.5 hours per response, including the time to review instructions,
search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and
review the information collection. **If you have any comments concerning
the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this
form, please write to:** U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland
Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202-4537.

#### PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS IN RESEARCH

**I. Definitions and Exemptions**

**A. Definitions.**

A research activity involves human subjects if the activity is research,
as defined in the Department's regulations, and the research activity
will involve use of human subjects, as defined in the regulations.

---**Research**

The ED Regulations for the Protection of Human Subjects, Title 34, Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 97, define research as "a systematic
investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation,
designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." *If an
activity follows a deliberate plan whose purpose is to develop or
contribute to generalizable knowledge it is research.* Activities which
meet this definition constitute research whether or not they are
conducted or supported under a program that is considered research for
other purposes. For example, some demonstration and service programs may
include research activities.

**---Human Subject**

The regulations define human subject as "a living individual about whom
an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research
obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the
individual, or (2) identifiable private information." *(1) If an
activity involves obtaining information about a living person by
manipulating that person or that person's environment, as might occur
when a new instructional technique is tested, or by communicating or
interacting with the individual, as occurs with surveys and interviews,
the definition of human subject is met. (2) If an activity involves
obtaining private information about a living person in such a way that
the information can be linked to that individual (the identity of the
subject is or may be readily determined by the investigator or
associated with the information), the definition of human subject is
met.* \[Private information includes information about behavior that
occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no
observation or recording is taking place, and information which has been
provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual
can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example, a school
health record).\]

**B. Exemptions.**

Research activities in which the **[only]{.underline}** involvement of
human subjects will be in one or more of the following six categories of
***exemptions*** are not covered by the regulations:

\(1\) Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational
settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (a) research
on regular and special education instructional strategies, or (b)
research on the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional
techniques, curricula, or classroom management methods.

\(2\) Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive,
diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview
procedures or observation of public behavior, unless: (a) information
obtained is recorded in such a manner that human subjects can be
identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects; and
(b) any disclosure of the human subjects' responses outside the research
could reasonably place the subjects at risk of criminal or civil
liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing,
employability, or reputation. *If the subjects are children, exemption 2
applies only to research involving educational tests and observations of
public behavior when the investigator(s) do not participate in the
activities being observed.*

*Exemption 2 does not apply if children are surveyed or interviewed or
if the research involves observation of public behavior and the
investigator(s) participate in the activities being observed.*
\[Children are defined as persons who have not attained the legal age
for consent to treatments or procedures involved in the research, under
the applicable law or jurisdiction in which the research will be
conducted.\]

\(3\) Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive,
diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview
procedures or observation of public behavior that is not exempt under
section (2) above, if the human subjects are elected or appointed public
officials or candidates for public office; or federal statute(s)
require(s) without exception that the confidentiality of the personally
identifiable information will be maintained throughout the research and
thereafter.

\(4\) Research involving the collection or study of existing data,
documents, records, pathological specimens, or diagnostic specimens, if
these sources are publicly available or if the information is recorded
by the investigator in a manner that subjects cannot be identified,
directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects.

\(5\) Research and demonstration projects which are conducted by or
subject to the approval of department or agency heads, and which are
designed to study, evaluate, or otherwise examine: (a) public benefit or
service programs; (b) procedures for obtaining benefits or services
under those programs; (c) possible changes in or alternatives to those
programs or procedures; or (d) possible changes in methods or levels of
payment for benefits or services under those programs.

\(6\) Taste and food quality evaluation and consumer acceptance studies,
(a) if wholesome foods without additives are consumed or (b) if a food
is consumed that contains a food ingredient at or below the level and
for a use found to be safe, or agricultural chemical or environmental
contaminant at or below the level found to be safe, by the Food and Drug
Administration or approved by the Environmental Protection Agency or the
Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.

**II. Instructions for Exempt and Nonexempt Human Subjects Research
Narratives**

If the applicant marked "Yes" for Item 3 of Department of Education
Supplemental Information for SF 424, the applicant must provide a human
subjects "exempt research" or "nonexempt research" narrative. Insert the
narrative(s) in the space provided. If you have multiple projects and
need to provide more than one narrative, be sure to label each set of
responses as to the project they address.

**A. Exempt Research Narrative.**

If you marked "Yes" for item 3 a. and designated exemption numbers(s),
provide the "exempt research" narrative. The narrative must contain
sufficient information about the involvement of human subjects in the
proposed research to allow a determination by ED that the designated
exemption(s) are appropriate. The narrative must be succinct.

**B. Nonexempt Research Narrative.**

If you marked "No" for item 3 a. you must provide the "nonexempt
research" narrative. The narrative must address the following seven
points. Although no specific page limitation applies to this section of
the application, be succinct.

\(1\) **Human Subjects Involvement and Characteristics**: Provide a
detailed description of the proposed involvement of human subjects.
Describe the characteristics of the subject population, including their
anticipated number, age range, and health status. Identify the criteria
for inclusion or exclusion of any subpopulation. Explain the rationale
for the involvement of special classes of subjects, such as children,
children with disabilities, adults with disabilities, persons with
mental disabilities, pregnant women, prisoners, institutionalized
individuals, or others who are likely to be vulnerable

\(2\) **Sources of Materials**: Identify the sources of research
material obtained from individually identifiable living human subjects
in the form of specimens, records, or data. Indicate whether the
material or data will be obtained specifically for research purposes or
whether use will be made of existing specimens, records, or data.

\(3\) **Recruitment and Informed Consent**: Describe plans for the
recruitment of subjects and the consent procedures to be followed.
Include the circumstances under which consent will be sought and
obtained, who will seek it, the nature of the information to be provided
to prospective subjects, and the method of documenting consent. State if
the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has authorized a modification or
waiver of the elements of consent or the requirement for documentation
of consent.

\(4\) **Potential Risks**: Describe potential risks (physical,
psychological, social, legal, or other) and assess their likelihood and
seriousness. Where appropriate, describe alternative treatments and
procedures that might be advantageous to the subjects.

\(5\) **Protection Against Risk**: Describe the procedures for
protecting against or minimizing potential risks, including risks to
confidentiality, and assess their likely effectiveness. Where
appropriate, discuss provisions for ensuring necessary medical or
professional intervention in the event of adverse effects to the
subjects. Also, where appropriate, describe the provisions for
monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety of the subjects.

\(6\) **Importance of the Knowledge to be Gained**: Discuss the
importance of the knowledge gained or to be gained as a result of the
proposed research. Discuss why the risks to subjects are reasonable in
relation to the anticipated benefits to subjects and in relation to the
importance of the knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result.

\(7\) **Collaborating Site(s)**: If research involving human subjects
will take place at collaborating site(s) or other performance site(s),
name the sites and briefly describe their involvement or role in the
research.

*Copies of the Department of Education's Regulations for the Protection
of Human Subjects, 34 CFR Part 97 and other pertinent materials on the
protection of human subjects in research are available from the U.S.

are using a restricted indirect cost rate that is included on your
approved Indirect Cost Rate Agreement or whether you are using a
restricted indirect cost rate that complies with 34 CFR 76.564(c)(2).
Note: State or Local government agencies may not use the provision for a
restricted indirect cost rate specified in 34 CFR 76.564(c)(2). Check

[Section C - Budget Narrative \[Attach separate sheet(s)\]]{.underline}

[Pay attention to applicable program specific instructions,\
if attached.]{.underline}

1.  Provide an itemized budget breakdown, and justification by project
    year, for each budget category listed in Sections A and B. For grant
    projects that will be divided into two or more separately budgeted
    major activities or sub-projects, show for each budget category of a
    project year the breakdown of the specific expenses attributable to
    each sub-project or activity.

2.  For non-Federal funds or resources listed in Section B that are used
    to meet a cost-sharing or matching requirement or provided as a
    voluntary cost-sharing or matching commitment, you must include:

    a.  The specific costs or contributions by budget category;

    b.  The source of the costs or contributions; and

    c.  In the case of third-party in-kind contributions, a description
        of how the value was determined for the donated or contributed
        goods or services.

\[Please review ED's general cost sharing and matching regulations,
which include specific limitations, in 34 CFR 74.23, applicable to
non-governmental entities, and 80.24, applicable to governments, and the
applicable Office of Management and Budget (OMB) cost principles for
your entity type regarding donations, capital assets, depreciation and
use allowances. OMB cost principle circulars are available on OMB's
website at:
[http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/index.html]{.underline}\]

3.  If applicable to this program, provide the rate and base on which
    fringe benefits are calculated.

4.  If you are requesting reimbursement for indirect costs on line 10,
    this information is to be completed by your Business Office. Specify
    the estimated amount of the base to which the indirect cost rate is
    applied and the total indirect expense. Depending on the grant
    program to which you are applying and/or your approved Indirect Cost
    Rate Agreement, some direct cost budget categories in your grant
    application budget may not be included in the base and multiplied by
    your indirect cost rate. For example, you must multiply the indirect
    cost rates of "Training grants\" (34 CFR 75.562) and grants under
    programs with "Supplement not Supplant" requirements (\"Restricted
    Rate\" programs) by a "modified total direct cost" (MTDC) base (34
    CFR 75.563 or 76.563). Please indicate which costs are included and
    which costs are excluded from the base to which the indirect cost
    rate is applied.

> When calculating indirect costs (line 10) for \"Training grants\" or
> grants under \"Restricted Rate\" programs, you must refer to the
> information and examples on ED's website at:
> [http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html]{.underline}.
>
> You may also contact (202) 377-3838 for additional information
> regarding calculating indirect cost rates or general indirect cost
> rate information.

5.  Provide other explanations or comments you deem necessary.

**Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs)**

This program falls under the rubric of Executive Order 12372
(Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs) and the regulations in 34
CFR Part 79. One of the objectives of the Executive order is to
strengthen federalism\--or the distribution of responsibility between
localities, States, and the Federal government\--by fostering
intergovernmental partnerships. This idea includes supporting processes
that State or local governments have devised for coordinating and
reviewing proposed Federal financial grant applications.

The process for doing this requires grant applicants to contact State
Single Points of Contact for information on how this works. Multi-state
applicants should follow procedures specific to each state.

Further information about the State Single Point of Contact process and
a list of names by State can be found at:

<http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.pdf>

Absent specific State review programs, applicants may submit comments
directly to the Department. All recommendations and comments must be
mailed or hand-delivered by the date indicated in the actual application
notice to the following address: The Secretary, EO 12372\--CFDA#

Proof of mailing will be determined on the same basis as applications
(see 34 CFR §75.102). Recommendations or comments may be hand-delivered
