I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The Arts in
Education National Program supports
national level high-quality arts
education projects and programs for
children and youth, with special
emphasis on serving students from lowincome families and students with
disabilities.
Priorities: This notice includes one
absolute priority and one competitive
preference priority. We are establishing
these priorities for the FY 2011 grant
competition only, in accordance with
section 437(d)(1) of the General
Education Provisions Act (GEPA), 20
U.S.C. 1232(d)(1).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2011, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Model Projects.
High-quality projects that are
designed to develop and implement, or
expand, initiatives in arts education and
arts integration on a national level for
pre-kindergarten-through-grade-12
children and youth, with special
emphasis on serving students from lowincome families and students with
disabilities.
In order to meet this priority, an
applicant must demonstrate that the
project for which it seeks funding will
provide services and develop initiatives
in multiple schools, school districts,
and communities throughout the
country.
Competitive Preference Priority: For
FY 2011, this priority is a competitive
VerDate Mar<15>2010

preference priority. Under 34 CFR
75.105(c)(2)(i) we award up to an
additional 10 points to an application,
depending on how well the application
meets this priority.
This priority is:
Supporting Programs, Practices, or
Strategies for which there are Strong or
Moderate Evidence of Effectiveness.
Projects that are supported by strong
or moderate evidence. A project that is
supported by strong evidence (as
defined in this notice) will receive more
points than a project that is supported
by moderate evidence (as defined in this
notice).
Application Requirements:
A project must describe how it would
(a) Serve low-income students and
students with disabilities; and (b)
implement the following activities on a
national level:
1. Professional development based on
national standards for pre-kindergartenthrough-grade-12 arts educators.
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. To view the
standards, please go to https://www.menc.org/
resources/view/the-national-standards-forarts-education-a-brief-history.
2. Development and dissemination of
instructional materials, including online
resources, in multiple arts disciplines
for arts educators.
3. Arts-based educational
programming in music, dance, theater,
media arts, and visual arts, including
folk arts for pre-kindergarten-throughgrade-12 students and arts educators.
4. Community and national outreach
activities that strengthen and expand
partnerships among schools, school
districts, and communities throughout
the country.
Definitions:
As used in this notice—
Arts means music, dance, theater,
media arts, and visual arts, including
folk arts.
Arts educator means a teacher or
other instructional staff who work in
music, dance, theater, media arts, or
visual arts, including folk arts.
Carefully matched comparison group
design means a type of quasiexperimental study (as defined in this
notice) that attempts to approximate an
experimental study (as defined in this
notice). More specifically, it is a design
in which project participants are
matched with non-participants based on
key characteristics that are thought to be
related to the outcome. These
characteristics include, but are not
limited to: (1) Prior test scores and other
PO 00000

measures of academic achievement
(preferably, the same measures that the
study will use to evaluate outcomes for
the two groups); (2) Demographic
characteristics, such as age, disability,
gender, English proficiency, ethnicity,
poverty level, parents’ educational
attainment, and single- or two-parent
family background; (3) The time period
in which the two groups are studied
(e.g., the two groups are children
entering kindergarten in the same year
as opposed to sequential years); and (4)
Methods used to collect outcome data
(e.g., the same test of reading skills
administered in the same way to both
groups).
Experimental study means a study
that employs random assignment of, for
example, students, teachers, classrooms,
schools, or districts to participate in a
project being evaluated (treatment
group) or not to participate in the
project (control group). The effect of the
project is the average difference in
outcomes between the treatment and
control groups.
Integration means (i) Encouraging the
use of high-quality arts instruction
within other academic content areas,
and (ii) strengthening the arts as a core
academic subject in the school
curriculum.
Interrupted time series design means
a type of quasi-experimental study (as
defined in this notice) in which the
outcome of interest is measured
multiple times before and after the
treatment for program participants only.
If the program had an impact, the
outcomes after treatment will have a
different slope or level from those before
treatment. That is, the series should
show an ‘‘interruption’’ of the prior
situation at the time when the program
was implemented. Adding a comparison
group time series, such as schools not
participating in the program or schools
participating in the program in a
different geographic area, substantially
increases the reliability of the findings.1
1 A single subject or single case design is an
adaptation of an interrupted time series design that
relies on the comparison of treatment effects on a
single subject or group of single subjects. There is
little confidence that findings based on this design
would be the same for other members of the
population. In some single subject designs,
treatment reversal or multiple baseline designs are
used to increase internal validity. In a treatment
reversal design, after a pretreatment or baseline
outcome measurement is compared with a post
treatment measure, the treatment would then be
stopped for a period of time; a second baseline
measure of the outcome would be taken, followed
by a second application of the treatment or a
different treatment. A multiple baseline design
addresses concerns about the effects of normal
development, timing of the treatment, and amount
of the treatment with treatment-reversal designs by
using a varying time schedule for introduction of
