Abstract: This submission requests

approval for a web-based performance

report needed by the U.S. Department

of Education (ED) to obtain baseline

data and information on the progress

and effectiveness of the Preparing

Tomorrow’s Teachers to use

Technology (PT3) grantees. The PT3

grant program was established to

assist consortia of public and private

entities in developing and

implementing teacher training

programs that prepare prospective

teachers to use technology for

improved instructional practices and

student learning opportunities in the

classroom. The performance reports

will be completed by all 225 grantees

and data gathered from the reports

will be used by ED to determine

which activities are most successful at

training preservice teachers to

integrate technology and to determine

the overall effectiveness of the PT3

grant program.

Office of Postsecondary Education,

Gaining Early Awareness and

Readiness for Undergraduate

Programs

Notice Inviting Applications for New

Awards for Fiscal Year 2000;

Correction

SUMMARY: On April 27, 2000 we

published in the Federal Register (65

FR 24764) a notice inviting applications

for new awards for fiscal year 2000 for

the Gaining Early Awareness and

Readiness for Undergraduate Program

(GEAR UP). That document incorrectly

listed the priority for Partnerships that

establish or maintain a scholarship

program as invitational. Please note that

Partnerships that establish or maintain a

scholarship program will receive a

competitive priority, as was stated in

the application package for this year’s

competition.

The priority therefore reads as

follows:

Competitive Preference Priority

The Secretary will give preference to

Partnership projects that establish or

maintain financial assistance programs

that award scholarships to participating

students, either in accordance with

section 404E of the Higher Education

Act of 1965, as amended, or in

accordance with GEAR UP regulations.

The Secretary will award up to five (5)

additional points, in addition to any

points the applicant earns under the

selection criteria, to applicants who

meet this priority, depending on how

well the application meets the priority.

Also in that same Notice we stated

that applications for a Partnership or

State grant that serve students in

Empowerment Zones, Supplemental

Empowerment Zones, or Enterprise

Communities would be given a

Competitive Preference Priority. The

language used to explain this priority

(The Secretary will select an application

that meets this priority over an

application of comparable merit that

does not meet this priority) comes

directly from the Education Department

General Regulations (EDGAR) 34 CFR

Part 75.105. This notice clarifies that

this preference will be applied as a tiebreaker only.

Finally, that notice incorrectly listed

the maximum grant amount for State

grants as $5 million. The correct

maximum grant amount for State grants

is $2.1 million.
