Improving Teacher Quality State Grant Program

The Department of Higher Education administers the Improving Teacher Quality State Grant Program, funded by the Title II: Part A of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The goal of this funding is to improve student academic achievement through initiatives grounded in scientific research that provide high-quality training for teachers.

The Department of Higher Education administers these funds by awarding competitive sub-grants to eligible partnerships of higher education institutions and high-need public schools. These partnerships use grant funds to conduct professional development activities in core academic subjects for teachers, paraprofessionals, and (if appropriate) principals.

Request for Proposals

The Department of Higher Education is pleased to announce a new Request for Proposals for the Improving Teacher Quality Grant Program to fund professional development projects in mathematics and/or writing regarding college readiness in 2010. Approximately $500,000 is available to support up to five projects.
