Title II Part D - Enhancing Education through Technology (EETT)

PLEASE NOTE: The following change has been made to this RFP - "A local educational agency from the Eligible List (Attachment 1) must serve as the fiscal agency" has been changed to "a local educational agency must be the fiscal agent for this grant. " Local educational agencies include public school district, charter school or BOCES.

Due Date:

Applications must be received by November 5, 2007

Description:

The Title II Part D - Enhancing Education through Technology (EETT) competitive grant program is designed to achieve three major goals as outlined in the NCLB Act:

To improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools;
To assist every student – regardless of race, ethnicity, income, geographical location, or disability – in becoming technologically literate by the end of eighth grade; and
To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with professional development and curriculum development to promote research/evidence-based instructional methods that can be widely replicated.

The Primary focus of the program is to improve students’ academic performance through effective use of technology in the core subjects of English Language Arts, mathematics, and science as well as technology literacy through theme-oriented and evidence-based programs. Specifically, five theme-oriented categories of programs are:

Leadership and System Change through Technology Innovation;
Technology Infusion into Instruction through Professional Development;
Data-driven Differentiated Instruction and Learning;
Technology Literacy and ICT Skills Development and Assessment; and
Expanding Learning Opportunities through Online Teaching and Learning.

Eligible Applicants:

Eligible applicants must be either a “high-need local educational agency” as listed in Attachment 1 or an “eligible local partnership”. A “high-need local educational agency” is a local educational agency that:

Is among the local educational agencies in a State with the highest numbers or percentages of children from families with incomes below the poverty line; and
Operates one or more schools identified (as in need of improvement or corrective action) under section 1116; or
Has a substantial need for assistance in acquiring and using technology

An “eligible local partnership” is a partnership that includes at least one high-need local educational agency and at least one local educational agency that can demonstrate that teachers in schools served by the agency are effectively integrating technology and generating sustained progress and success implementing evidence-based model program(s) to improve students’ academic performance in core subject areas and technology literacy and skills. Such a partnership may also include one of the following service providing partners:

An institution of higher education that is in full compliance with the reporting requirements of section 207(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and that has not been identified by the State as low-performing under section 208 of such Act; or
A for-profit business or organization that develops, designs, manufactures, or produces technology products or services, or has substantial expertise in the application of technology in instruction; or
A public or private nonprofit organization with demonstrated expertise in the application of education technology in instruction; and/or
Other local educational agencies, educational service agencies, libraries, or other educational entities appropriate to provide local programs.

Due to the significant reduction in funding, applications from consortium/partnership including multiple LEAs to pool and share resources, experiences and expertise are strongly encouraged. Consortium/partnership applications from eligible local partnerships with at least one eligible high-need local educational agency having over 5,000 students in poverty or multiple eligible local educational agencies having a total of over 5,000 students in poverty will be given 20 extra preference points.

Consortium/partnership applications must focus on addressing the needs of the school buildings and districts identified as in need of improvement within the consortium/partnership. In addition, a local educational agency must serve as the fiscal agent for an eligible local partnership or consortium and follow the NYSED Consortium Policy on p. 10.
