Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The Teaching 

American History Grant (TAH) Program 

supports projects that aim to raise 

student achievement by improving 

teachers’ knowledge, understanding, 

and appreciation of traditional 

American history. Grant awards assist 

local educational agencies (LEAs), in 

partnership with entities that have 

extensive content expertise, in 

developing, implementing, 

documenting, evaluating, and 

disseminating innovative, cohesive 

models of professional development. By 

helping teachers to develop a deeper 

understanding and appreciation of 

traditional American history as a 

separate subject within the core 

curriculum, these programs are 

intended to improve instruction and 

raise student achievement. 

Priorities: This competition includes 

one absolute priority and two 

invitational priorities that are explained 

in the following paragraphs. 

Absolute Priority: In accordance with 

34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), this priority is 

from section 2351 of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965, as 

amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 6721(b)). 

For FY 2010 and any subsequent year in 

which we make awards from the list of 

unfunded applicants from this 

competition, this priority is an absolute 

priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) we 

consider only applications that meet 

this priority. 

This priority is: 

Partnerships With Other Agencies or 

Institutions. 

Each applicant LEA must propose to 

work in partnership with one or more of 

the following: 

• An institution of higher education. 

• A non-profit history or humanities 

organization. 

• A library or museum. 

Invitational Priorities: For FY 2010 

and any subsequent year in which we 

make awards from the list of unfunded 

applicants from this competition, these 

priorities are invitational priorities. 

Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not 

give an application that meets these 

invitational priorities a competitive or 

absolute preference over other 

applications. 

These priorities are: 

1. Applications that provide for the 

development and dissemination of grant 

products and results through Open 

Educational Resources (OER). OER are 

teaching, learning, and research 

resources that reside in the public 

domain or have been released under an 

intellectual property license that 

permits their free use or repurposing by 

others. This invitational priority 

encourages applications that describe 

how the applicants will make their TAH 

grant products and resources freely 

available online, in an effort to share 

traditional American history content, 

proven teaching strategies, and lessons 

learned in implementing TAH projects 

with the wider community of history 

educators. 

Note: Each applicant addressing this 

priority is encouraged to include plans for 

how the applicant will disseminate 

resources, for example through a Web site 

that is freely available to all users. Each of 

these applicants is also encouraged to 

include plans specifying how the project will 

identify quality resources, such as lesson 

plans, primary source activities, reading lists, 

teacher reflections, and video of quality 

traditional American history teaching and 

student learning in action, for presentation to 

the wider community. 

2. Applications that provide for the 

collection and use of student work and 

achievement data. This invitational 

priority encourages projects that collect 

and use student work and achievement 

data to assess the impact of teacher 

participation on student learning and 

for continuous program improvement. 

Note: A goal of this program is to improve 

the quality of instruction of traditional 

American history in K–12 schools. Our 

purpose for establishing this priority is to 

support the collection and use of student 

work and achievement data that demonstrate 

increased or improved knowledge and 

understanding of traditional American 

history content by participating teachers and 

their students. The applicant is encouraged 

to address how its proposed professional 

development strategy will significantly 

improve both history teachers’ abilities to 

teach traditional American history content 

and student performance with regard to 

traditional American history.

progress towards accomplishing the 

goals and objectives of the project as 

described in its approved application, 

we may make continuation awards to 

grantees for the remaining 24 months of 

the program. Review of each grantee’s
