SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Academies
Program supports the establishment of:
(1) Presidential Academies for the
Teaching of American History and
Civics that offer workshops for both
veteran and new teachers to strengthen
their knowledge of American history,
civics, and government education
(Presidential Academies); and (2)
Congressional Academies for Students
of American History and Civics that
provide high school students
opportunities to enrich their
understanding of these subjects
(Congressional Academies).
Background
The Academies Program supports
projects to raise student achievement in
American history and civics by
improving teachers’ and students’
knowledge, understanding, and
engagement with these subjects through
intensive workshops with scholars,
master teachers, and curriculum
experts. Project activities should reflect
the best available research and practice
in teaching and learning. Presidential
Academies will help teachers develop
further expertise in the content areas of
American history and civics, teaching
strategies, use of technologies, and other
essential elements of teaching to
rigorous college- and career-ready
standards. Congressional Academies are
intended to broaden and deepen
students’ interest in and understanding
of American history and civics through
the use of content-rich, engaging
learning resources and strategies.
Through a competitive preference
priority, we encourage applicants to
consider projects that will focus on
serving high-need students and students
from underserved populations to help
ensure that these students have access
to high-quality, interactive instruction
that will help them become college- and
career-ready and be better prepared to
participate fully in civic activities. We
also include a competitive preference
priority to encourage applicants to
consider projects that develop
innovative and comprehensive
programs using the resources of the
National Parks. These programs would
include, to the extent practicable,
coordination or alignment of activities
with the National Park Service National
Centennial Parks initiative.
We also include two absolute
priorities that require applicants to
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

conduct both Presidential Academies
and Congressional Academies in order
to ensure that teachers and students are
receiving opportunities to participate in
high-quality American history and
civics educational experiences. In
addition, applicants may consider
projects that are designed to recruit
teachers and students from the same
schools and school districts in order to
promote a seamless delivery of training
and instruction and maximize project
benefits.
Grantees will be expected to measure
the impact of their projects on teacher
development and student learning
through applicable assessments. Early
findings from grantee evaluations may
help guide the grantee’s subsequent
teacher professional development and
student learning efforts over the fiveyear project period.
Priorities: This notice contains two
absolute priorities and two competitive
preference priorities. In accordance with
34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), both absolute
priorities are from section 2232(e)(1)
and (f)(1) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended by the Every Student Succeeds
Act (ESEA), 20 U.S.C. 6662. The first
competitive preference priority is from
the notice of final supplemental
priorities and definitions for
discretionary grant programs published
in the Federal Register on December 10,
2014 (79 FR 73425) (Supplemental
Priorities). In accordance with 34 CFR
75.105(b)(2)(v), the second competitive
preference priority is from allowable
activities specified in section 2232(e)(4)
of the ESEA.
Absolute Priorities: For FY 2017 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applications from this competition,
these priorities are absolute priorities.
Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider
only applications that meet both of
these priorities.
These priorities are:
Absolute Priority 1—Presidential
Academies for the Teaching of
American History and Civics.
Under this priority, an applicant must
propose to establish a Presidential
Academy that offers a seminar or
institute for teachers of American
history and civics, which—
(a) Provides intensive professional
development opportunities for teachers
of American history and civics to
strengthen such teachers’ knowledge of
the subjects of American history and
civics;
(b) Is led by a team of primary
scholars and core teachers who are
accomplished in the field of American
history and civics;
