Purpose of Program: This program

programs in elementary and secondary
education for music, dance, drama,
media arts, or visual arts, including folk
arts, for educators and other arts
instructional staff of kindergarten
through grade 12 (K–12) students in
high-poverty schools. The purpose of
this program is to strengthen standardsbased arts education programs and to
help ensure that all students meet
challenging State academic content
standards and challenging State student
academic achievement standards in the
arts.
Priorities: This competition includes
one absolute priority, two competitive
preference priorities, and one
invitational priority. The absolute
priority is from the notice of final
priority, requirements, and definitions
for this program (2005 NFP), published

2005 (70 FR 16242). The two
competitive preference priorities and
the invitational priority are from the
notice of final supplemental priorities
and definitions for discretionary grant
programs, published in the Federal
Register on December 15, 2010 (75 FR
78486).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2011 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applicants from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
This priority supports professional
development programs for K–12 arts
educators and other instructional staff
that use innovative instructional
methods and current knowledge from
education research and focus on—
(1) The development, enhancement,
or expansion of standards-based arts
education programs; or
(2) The integration of standards-based
arts instruction with other core
academic area content.
In order to meet this priority, an
applicant must demonstrate that the
project for which it seeks funding is
linked to State and national standards
intended to enable all students to meet
challenging expectations, and to
improving student and school
performance.
Note: National standards refers to the arts
standards developed by the Consortium of
National Arts Education Associations. The
standards outline what students should know
and be able to do in the arts. These are not
Department standards.
Competitive Preference Priorities: For
FY 2011 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applicants from this
competition, these priorities are
competitive preference priorities. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to
an additional 10 points per competitive
preference priority to an application,
depending on how well the application
meets the priorities.
These priorities are:
