Teaching American History Grant Program; Notice Inviting Grant 
Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001

    Note to Applicants: This notice is a complete application package. 
Together with the statute authorizing these grants and the Education 
Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), this notice 
contains all of the information, application forms, and instructions 
needed to apply for a Teaching American History grant under this 
competition. These grants are funded under Title X, Part A of the

8001 et seq.).
    Purpose of Program: Teaching American History grants will support

[[Page 28430]]

programs to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, 
understanding, and appreciation of American history. Grant awards will 
assist local educational agencies (LEAs), in partnership with entities 
that have extensive content expertise, to develop, document, evaluate, 
and disseminate innovative, cohesive models of professional 
development. By helping teachers to develop a deeper understanding and 
appreciation of American history as a separate subject matter within 
the core curriculum, these programs will improve instruction and raise 
student achievement.
    Eligible Applicants: Local educational agencies (LEAs), working in 
partnership with one or more of the following entities:
     Institutions of higher education;
     Non-profit history or humanities organizations; and
     Libraries and museums.

application must follow the procedures for group applications in 34 
CFR 75.127-129 of EDGAR.

    E-Mail Notification of Intent To Apply for Funding: The Department 
will be able to develop a more efficient process for reviewing grant 
applications if it has a better understanding of the number of LEAs 
that intend to apply for funding under this competition. Therefore, the 
Secretary strongly encourages each potential applicant to notify the 
Department with a short e-mail noting the intent to submit an 
application for funding. 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 June 22, 2001. The e-mail 
notification should be sent to Ms. Christine Miller at: 
[email protected]. Applicants that fail to provide this e-
mail notification may still apply for funding.

    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: September 21, 2001.
    Estimated Available Funds: $50,000,000.
    Estimated Range of Awards: $350,000-$1,000,000 (total funding per 
grant, for a three-year project period).
    Estimated Average Size: $500,000 (total for all three years).
    Maximum Award Amount: The total amount of funding that an LEA may 
receive under this competition is $1,000,000.
    Estimated Number of Awards: 75-125.
    Project Period: Up to 36 months.
    Please note that applicants for multi-year awards are required to 
provide detailed budget information for the total grant period 
requested. The Department will determine at the time of the initial 
award the funding levels for each year of the grant award. The 
Department of Education is not bound by any estimates in this notice.

    Note: To provide the applicant the capacity to effectively plan 
for and carry out the comprehensive long-term activities involved in 
ongoing, intensive professional development, to establish 
partnerships to support this work, and to document and demonstrate 
the effectiveness of its program for future dissemination, the 
Secretary anticipates awarding the entire three-year grant amount 
for the project at the time of the initial award.

application narrative to no more than 20 double-spaced pages.
    The following standards are preferred: (1) A ``page'' is 8.5" x 11" 
(one side only) with one-inch margins (top, bottom, and sides). (2) Use 
12-point font for all text in the application narrative.
    The page limit does not apply to the cover sheet, the one-page 
abstract, budget section, appendices, and forms and assurances.
    Applicable Regulations: The Education Department General 
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 
82, 85, 86, 97, 98 and 99.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Budgets must include funds for at least two 
project staff members to attend a two-day annual meeting of the 
Teaching American History Grant Program in Washington, DC, each year of 
the project. Applicants must include funds to cover travel and lodging 
expenses for these training activities during each year of the project.
    Program Description: The Teaching American History grant program is 
funded under Part A of Title X of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act.
    Students who know and appreciate the great ideas of American 
history are more likely to understand and exercise their civic rights 
and responsibilities. Their understanding of traditional American 
history will be enhanced if teachers make the study of history more 
exciting, interesting, and engaging. Students need teachers who have a 
thorough understanding of American history as a separate subject within 
the core curriculum, and incorporate into their teaching effective 
strategies to help students learn.
    The Teaching American History Grant Program will support projects 
to raise student achievement in American history by improving teachers' 
knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for American history through 
intensive, ongoing professional development. These professional 
development activities should reflect the best available research and 
practice in teaching, learning, and leadership. Project activities 
should enable teachers to develop further expertise in American History 
subject content, teaching strategies, use of technologies, and other 
essential elements of teaching to higher standards. Projects should be 
driven by a coherent, long-term plan and should be evaluated on the 
basis of their impact on teacher effectiveness and student learning. 
This assessment should guide subsequent professional development 
efforts.
    This program will demonstrate how school districts and institutions 
with expertise in American history can collaborate over a three-year 
period to ensure that teachers develop the knowledge and skills 
necessary to teach American history in an exciting and engaging way. 
Through these projects, districts will demonstrate comprehensive 
professional development approaches for providing high-quality American 
history instruction. In addition to any dissemination conducted 
directly by grantees, the Department intends to take the products and 
information resulting from this grant and share the results with other 
communities.
    Under this program, applicants must propose projects that:
     Develop and implement high-quality in-service and/or pre-
service professional development that provides educators with content 
and teaching skills to prepare all students to achieve to higher 
standards in American history; and
     Develop and implement strategies for sustained and on-
going collaboration that will take place over the course of at least 
three years among teachers and outside experts to improve instruction 
in American history.
    Applicants should consider projects that include at least one or 
more of the following:
     Supporting participation of teams of teachers in summer 
institutes and summer immersion activities;
     Supporting school-based collaborative efforts among 
teachers, including programs that facilitate teacher observation and 
analyses of fellow history teachers' classroom practice to improve 
instruction;
     Developing programs to assist new history teachers in the 
classroom, such as--

[[Page 28431]]

    (a) Mentoring and coaching by trained mentor teachers over the 
entire grant period;
    (b) Team teaching with experienced history teachers; or
    (c) Providing released time for observation and consultation with 
experienced history teachers;
     Providing collaborative professional development 
experiences for veteran history teachers;
     Establishing and maintaining professional networks that 
provide a forum for interaction among teachers and that allow for the 
exchange of information;
     Providing guidance to teachers on the use of technology to 
provide access to primary historical documents, enable cooperative 
learning efforts, and develop effective presentations of historical 
content; and
     Creating materials documenting the implementation and 
benefits of the program and products for other educators to use in the 
course of teaching American history as a separate subject within the 
core curriculum.
    Application Content: To apply for Teaching American History program 
funds, applicants must fully describe, in their project narrative, 
projects that:
     Further the development of high-quality professional 
development programs, through collaboration, designed to improve 
American history education programs in elementary, middle, or high 
schools;
     Develop materials designed to help replicate or adapt the 
program;
     Document the program's outcomes and benefits; and
     Develop products and services that may be used to 
replicate the program in other settings.
    Thus, grant applications must describe existing or proposed 
strategies that could successfully be implemented, expanded, 
documented, evaluated and disseminated. Taken together, these 
strategies and methods should comprise a research-based comprehensive 
American History education improvement project that:
     Is based on reliable theory, preliminary internal or 
external research, and evaluation regarding effective practice;
     Has the potential to improve students' achievement in 
American history;
     Highlights the development of model pre-service and/or in-
service professional development for history teachers;
     Involves multiple partners and effectively combines 
resources to create quality, sustainable programs;
     Demonstrates the feasibility of further replication and 
dissemination;
     Is applicable to a broad range of rural and urban schools 
serving poor and disadvantaged students, including those schools that 
are chronically low-performing;
     Makes effective use of technology to further the program 
goals; and
     Describes methods by which the applicant will assess the 
project's outcomes.

Reporting Requirements and Expected Outcomes

    The Secretary requires successful applicants to submit annual 
performance reports that document the grantee's yearly progress toward 
meeting expected programmatic outcomes. The Secretary will use these 
reports to measure the success of the grantee's project and contribute 
to a broader knowledge base about high-quality, effective professional 
development strategies that can improve the teaching and learning of 
American history nationwide. In addition, grantees will be required to 
submit a final performance report, due no later than 90 days after the 
end of the project period.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

    In accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), 
it is the practice of the Secretary to offer interested parties the 
opportunity to comment on proposed rules. Section 437(d)(1) of the 
General Education Provisions Act (GEPA), however, allows the Secretary 
to exempt from rulemaking requirements rules governing the first grant 
competition under a new or substantially revised program authority (20 
U.S.C. 1232(d)(1)). Funding was provided for this new initiative in the 
FY 2001 appropriations act, enacted December 21, 2000. The Secretary, 
in accordance with section 437(d)(1) of GEPA, has decided to forego 
public comment in order to ensure timely grant awards. These 
requirements will apply to the FY 2001 grant competition only.
