Funding Opportunity Description Office of Innovation and Improvement; Overview Information; School Leadership Grant Program; Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Purpose of Program: The School Leadership Grant Program (SLP) is designed to assist high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) in recruiting and training principals (including assistant principals) through such activities as: • Providing financial incentives to aspiring new principals. • Providing stipends to principals who mentor new principals. • Carrying out professional development programs in instructional leadership and management. • Providing incentives that are appropriate for teachers or individuals from other fields who want to become principals and that are effective in retaining new principals. Priorities: Under this competition we are particularly interested in applications that address the following three invitational priorities. Invitational Priorities: For FY 2010, these priorities are invitational priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1), we do not give an application that meets the invitational priorities a competitive or absolute preference over other applications. These priorities are: 1. Projects that develop and implement, enhance, or expand innovative programs to build the capacity of principals (including assistant principals) to lead and achieve teaching and learning gains in persistently lowest-achieving schools. 2. Projects that demonstrate evidence of the LEA’s commitment to identify, implement, and support school conditions that facilitate efforts by the principals (including assistant principals) prepared by this program to improve persistently lowest-achieving schools. 3. Projects that collect and use student achievement data to assess the effect of principals (including assistant principals) prepared through this program on student learning and for continuous program improvement.

Applicants also are strongly encouraged to describe how these data will be used for continuous program improvement. Background: The Secretary has set an ambitious goal of turning around the nation’s 5,000 lowest-achieving schools over the next five years, as part of a broader strategy to reduce the dropout rate, improve the high school graduation rate, and increase the number of students who graduate prepared for success in college and their careers. Principals are a major driver of school improvement and teacher quality, and second only to teachers in their impact on student achievement.1 A strong principal can have a positive impact on teachers’ instructional practice, and on the learning outcomes of hundreds of students. In school ‘‘turnaround’’ models and instructional programs, a consistently recognized determinant of success is not only the quality of the model or program but the school leader’s ability to implement the model or program effectively. Despite their importance, school leaders are often denied the autonomy, resources, or support they need to implement models and programs and lead their schools effectively. To recruit and retain highly talented school leaders to serve in underperforming schools, district leaders must remove obstacles and give these individuals real flexibility over money, time, operations, and staffing to enable them to lead their schools.2 In the past, the SLP has funded projects that have focused on creating alternative pathways for principal certification or licensure and providing professional development to improve the skills of existing principals in schools in high-need LEAs. In this notice, the Secretary encourages applicants to look beyond preparation pathways and to promote district conditions that support these school leaders in leading and turning around the persistently lowest-achieving schools in the participating LEAs. In addition, the Secretary encourages applications for projects that will collect and use data to determine the effect of these school leaders on student learning in the schools in which they serve and for continuous program improvement. 1 Leithwood, Kenneth et al. ‘‘How Leadership Influences Student Learning.’’ Wallace Foundation, 2004. 2 Calkins, Andrew et al. ‘‘The Turnaround Challenge: Why America’s best opportunity to dramatically improve student achievement lies in our worst-performing schools.’’ 2007.
